Hair Color

As I read my morning devotional and then looked up the associated scriptures, I stumbled upon this one: Proverbs 16:31 “Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life.” How apropos on the very day I am scheduled to have my hair “conditioned”, as I call it. I may be 60 years old but I’m not sure I am ready for that kind of splendor. I certainly could have a head of gray hair. Mine does not come in in strands, mine comes in as full gray growth at the roots. I may be one of those lucky ones that have beautiful, silvery hair and compliments my dark eyes, kind of Emmy Lou Harris-ish. But…I also could just look old and haggard. It’s a risk, and at this point in my life, I’m erring toward sure things. I’ll take some of those risks when 70 rolls along.
