Not As Hip As I Thought?

OK, maybe I am not as hip as I originally thought. I came to this conclusion today when I went to get my hair cut.

It had been some time since I had gotten my hair cut and it was driving me crazy. So, I went to my usual place. When I got there my usual girl was not in for the day. I looked around and the only person available was this very young and very pierced girl with purple hair. My options at this point where to turn around and come back another day, which I didn't want to do, or stay and let my new friend have at it. I opted for the later.

As she began, I was very nervous about it and somewhat uncomfortable in my conversation with her (realizing we had very little in common). However, the longer I sat there I began to think about my uneasiness and wondered why I was feeling this way about the situation. I mean she was a professional, right? Plus, in spiritual terms, she wasn't much different than me. Was I somehow revealing my prejudice against people who aren't like me? I lead worship on Sunday mornings and talk about how Christ was accepting of all persons and the need for us to do the same. Yet, here I was pre-judging this poor girl.

The reality is that she ended up being what seemed like a very nice person (as if I am the jury on that) and did a great job with my cut. I continue to learn things about my self, from the smallest of moments.
