The truth can now be told. While Barber Shops were still under orders to remain closed, during the COVID-19 lock down, my barber called me and asked if I needed my hair trimmed (not cut as that would be illegal). \u201cThat or a dog tag\u201d I replied. My Dad once said the worst thing about moving to a new town was having to find a new doctor and a new barber. I\u2019m fortunate to have found both. I\u2019ve had the same barber for about twenty-five years. Obviously, we\u2019ve become good friends, so he offered to meet me at his \u201cnon-essential\u201d barber shop. \u201cPark next door\u201d he said. I did so, and wearing my coronavirus mask, I walked to the Barber Shop. He unlocked the door, and then locked it behind us. I noticed the blinds were still closed over the front windows. I got my hair trimmed, and he unlocked the door and let me out. We think this was OK, since I have an essential job of preaching every Sunday, but it was the strangest non-essential haircut that I ever received. One day, Sampson got a non-essential haircut and the enemy waited for him outside the door (Judges 16:19). Just in case what we did was illegal, I\u2019m glad all the police officers in the area of my barber shop were not waiting outside the door, but rather were sheltered in place at \u201cessential\u201d donut and coffee shops. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
