Bad Hair With Purpose

Normally, I keep my hair pretty short. It's a good look for me. It's nothing special, but it works for me.

Hold on...here comes one of my tangents.

The youth group at church is going to be participating in the 30-Hour Famine April 24-25. The 30-Hour Famine raises money to fight poverty and hunger worldwide. The money our group raises will go towards a joint project of World Vision and Nazarene Compassionate Ministries to help train farmers in Malawi.

Okay, back to the hair.

I haven't cut my hair since Halloween. It's starting to look rather frightening. ("Hi, I'm Albert Einstein, and I'm on crack.) I've told the kids at church that I won't cut my hair until the Famine in April. Whoever raises the most money for the cause will be allowed to cut my hair however they choose. For a month.

Of course, my preference would be that I get to cut my own hair (and be done with it). If you'd like to help me win, please contact me. Or, if you'd like to make sure I lose, contact me and I'll put you in touch with one of the other participants. (Email The Mike Lyons Show [all one word] at AOL dot com.) Regardless of whose side you play for, the important thing is to support the work in Malawi.

Or, perhaps the important thing is to laugh at my ridiculous hair. Seriously, I went to great lengths to make it look that bad...
