But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9

Alrighty then!
Ceremonial head shaving to commence at 1300 hours on Monday, the 10th of September. The salon is closed and Christine graciously offered to do it then.
Wow! I missed checking your blog for a few days and a lot has been happening with you. I know it must be real hard to lose you hair even though you knew this would probably happen. We can be totally prepared mentally for something but walking through it is still shocking and painful. We'll be praying for you today.
PS. I'm reminded of Jo on Little Women when she has her "one beauty" (her hair) cut off because they need the money. Jo is found crying late at night and Beth thinks she is crying for their father who is at war. When asked what is wrong Jo cries out, "My hair!" and they both laugh and cry at the same time at the absurdity of it all. Women! We can walk through tremendous adversity; cancer, war, and much suffering, yet women throughout history have a tough time losing their "crowning beauty" which in the Bible is our hair. I wish I could be Beth and cry with you today love Rachel
Ah yes, Little Women....I know I read it eons ago but I only recall the last film version. Was Winona Ryder Jo? Guess I can't recall that very well either. Thanks, Rachel, for the empathy over the temporary loss of my crowning beauty!
