BUZZED!

Holy Haircuts Batman…my folicles are gone.

While staying at the Hyatt Regency by the Scotttrade Center in St. Louis I strolled into a mall at Union Square to get some hair gel. While there I got talked into getting a trim (not a cut.) Instead I got a cut (not a trim.) I haven’t been this bald since I came out of the womb. I look like an army recruiter.

My wife who is always trying to get me to grow my hair out is going to shout (Honey if you are reading this it’s not my fault!)

Kenny, the nice man who talked me into getting my hair trimmed sat me down in the chair, turned me around and began to cut. I didn’t see myself again until he whirled me around to look in the mirror. The only words that came out of my mouth were "Holy Crud" (sorry for the Christian school cuss word there.)

I was shocked. I was stunned. I was ready to recruit soldiers for the army.

On the bright side the breezes feel breezier. And I’ve discovered that I have a handsome scalp.

When you think about it, I guess I am an army recruiter…an army for the Lord. Difference is we use love instead of bullets, Bibles instead of bombs and are fighting against Satan instead of people. This weekend in St. Louis (with my new aerodynamic haircut) I’m going to be recruiting thousands of teens to fight against Satan and his demonic posse as we share the love of Jesus with everyone we meet.

Remember Satan is out to defeat you. He comes armed with temptations and trimmers…ready to cut us all down to size. But through God’s grace (rogain for the soul) we shall overcome. And believe me overcoming is better than combing over.

Aw come on, it could be worse, right?…..Nope! Wowza, Greg! What I like to do is actually talk to the person cutting my hair and tell them how I want it cut…but whatever. Now’s the time to remember all the wonderful things like: "Don’t worry, it will grow back!" And look at all the shampoo you’ll be saving! Plus, it’ll be fun for Kailey and Jeremy to push down on your spikey hair as it starts growing back.

Hey Greg! I was at St.louis tonight apart of the E-free group. Thanks so much for praying for Sam (the kid who committed suicide) and the church. It meant a lot to me, and I am sure a lot of other people. I am going to the funeral, but I am coming back to D2S afterwards. I hope I get a chance to talk to you! Thanks so much, it was an awesome friday night! Katie Baker

GREG! THe first thing I said when I saw you was, "GREG GOT A HAIRCUT!" haha I knew it. Anyway, I’m with first efree, and i told you last night (friday) that I appreciate what you do so much and I really appreciate you praying for us last night; I’m going to Sam’s funeral at 10:00 today and I know you’ll be praying. And I already prayed for you and everyone at the Scottrade center today while I was in the shower and I’ll continue to pray. God is using you so powerfully.. Oh, and one more thing I really wanted to tell you when I tal ked to you last night, but couldn’t…I wanted to tell about two girls from my youth group. One of them said her mom didn’t want them brainwashing her at Dare2Share. and the other girl’s mom told her she didn’t want her to turn into a Jesus Freak. Please pray for these girls, (their names are both Sarah), that they may see Christ and share the gospel with their families who do not believe. Well that’s all! Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it today, but I’ll be praying for you. I love you Greg and I appreciate all you do–may God bless you! Love, Jessie of first e free ST LOUIE!!!!!

Oh, thank you for praying for my english presentation! i presented yesterday, and it was interesting. I managed to do everything in the presentation well, but becasue i presented the gospel as fact, one of my friends is no longer speaking to me, and half my english class is relatively angry with me. Becasue i brought it more to modern day, using modern day examples, and making it sound like a "serom", i got docked points. And my english teacher said I made it far too personal for a class room. She told me she would dock more points because of that. Normaly, I would have freaked out, because i am a VERY grade oriented person, but i just looked at her and smiled inside, because I knew in the long run, when there was a fight between grades and God, God wins hands down. My goal was to get at least one person asking questions, and i hope i accomplished that. But I dont, know, I guess i’ll see one monday! Oh, and if you want a copy or to see what i presented email me at lives4himalone@yahoo.com and I can send you it! In Him ALONE! Leah

Hey Greg, Your Hair really doesn’t look all that bad!!! Really it could be much worse. Also when you talk you have this whole vein popping out of your head thing going on and it totally reminds me of Bro. Rick from First Free Will Baptist Of O’Fallon. Just thought you’d Want to know, Anyway during the phone a friend thing i called a bunch of friends to tell them about Christ and one of them was my sister. And I wasn’t really sure about her and i had to ask her if she believed. So i called and she didn’t pick up and i lefta message. Well by the time i got out what i was gonna say i was bawling my eyes out. My sister called me back and just to tell you she freaks out easily, But she called me when superchick was playing and thought I was at a rock concert, and yelled at me for that, but the main thing was when i was talking to her at the end of the conversation she was yelling at me through the phone because i scared her and she thought i was in trouble or someething because I was Crying. It was pretty funny, I guess thats what you get when you care about someone, JK. Thank you so much for this weekend because i considered not going and i am just so happy I decided to come and i can’t wait till next year. Thanks for an awesome Sermon. Thanks again, Danielle P.s. Your Uncles sounds Pretty cool, but i wouldn’t want to be the one interupting him in the sauna!!!

Hi Greg! I was a D2S in STL this weekend and it was so awesome! You guys have an amazing ministry! I always really love the outreach (this was my 4th year) its so awesome that we can just go up to strangers and spread the love of Jesus while helping people in need! The first thing i noticed when you got on stage was that your hair was different, but it didn’t look that bad! Oh Starfield is SOOOOOOOOOO amazing they must come back next year! And its Union Station, not union square lol Jessica Plumart- Christ Community Church STL

THAT IS NO FAIR! I didn’t even get to see you with your long hair! But whatever, I’m over it. So you were awesome in St. Louis! It probably was, no, definitely was the most moving religious event I’ve ever attended! I sincerely came out of there a different person. Keep up the good work, and keep up the hair growing! I WANNA SEE IT! In God’s love, L of FLK

Greg I don’t think you were that bald when you were born. I can’t believe it! You look just like me when I went to the jungle but I only had myself to blame for that. Great blog comments. You are still the funniest man I know it’s just that your looks match your wit now. Ha ha. I have heard people say you look like "Paul Newman and Tom Hanks but today you look like Curly. Have a great day and try to rub some Rogain on your head today. Love you bro. You are the best.

Hey… you’re right… like… satan just doesnt quit… i noticed today when i got called about my transcript request i made at my college… i need the transcripts so that i can send them to my scholarship committee from my high school… and the committee is gonna decide whether or not they will give me my money the doners assigned me… so that i can pay for the emt class i took at said college, and get caught up on my car so that i can still get to school… well the college called this morning, and told me that i have to pay for my class before they will send my transcripts… and i cant pay for my class until i get the money from the committee, which is why they need the transcripts… what a paradox… i about throught the phone through the television when i found out too… but i didnt… so yeah… hopefully i find a thousand dollar bill lying on the ground or something… right??? lol AMBER

AM at the Youth leader breakout session, and I didn’t notice it until you told the story. People don’t look at your head. They look at your heart! Great job in St Louis by the way.

hey greg, I went to dare 2 share last year and the year before. I think that is was so awsome i just have to keep coming. Im with the baggs youth group. On the way home from dare 2 share we had radios so we could talk to the kids in the other vehicle, well we herd truck drivers on the line so we started talking about the gospel and told them what each letter ment. Every time we even menched it they would cuss even more. Our youth leaders kept telling us just to keep talking about it so we did. Finally this lady came on and said that it was nice that we were spreading the gospel. She said she had been listening since we started. She said she never trusted god until about two years ago. She told us to never hated god and trust in him. Well i plan to come back to dare 2 share this year and collect canded food. Well got to go please email me back. Cierra

last summer i shaved my head down to nothing (im a fem.) lets just say that small town people take things like that way too seriously… the big question was WHY??? i couldnt think of too much to say except..i just wanted to, it looked freakin amazing, it was one of my ways of starting over, and i felt purely beautiful. one of the greatest feelings in the world is showering right afterward, theres really nothing like it. but alas, while im living in this town, i cant do it again. anyway, peace and all that.
