💈 ✂️ They say if you hang out in a barber shop (or a salon, if your prefer) eventually, you'll get a haircut.
The company we keep is important. It's harder to stay sober if you're hanging out with your old drinking buddies all the time.
A few weeks ago, I was in need of a haircut, so I tried a couple places, but they were too busy to take a walk-in that day.
I checked a local barber shop. The door was wide open. There was much playing, but no one was there. I called out. No answer. I looked around.
I saw a stack of men's magazines - so called 'adult' entertainment on a side table.
The old me would have leafed through them instead of leaving.
Since I've turned over a new leaf, I walked out.
#Jesus hung out with 'sinners' and I do, too. If with no one else, then in the company of my self and I'm sinner enough for the #Savior
It's a hard decision to know when to to walk away to save your sanity or bless a business so they see Jesus.
Maybe I'll barge in on that barber again someday and tell him what the Lord has done for me, how He has set me free.
In his chair, I may be a captive audience, but then, so is he.
Maybe we'll even become friends...as long as he doesn't give me the #SweeneyTodd treatment...
