I have been called out on a couple of blogs this weekend...
Dan Kimball comments (among a few other nicer comments and some reflection on the topic of hell):
I believe Ed would look fantastic in a rockabilly hair cut and I encourage him highly to take his hair to the next level.
Dan knows:
And, Bob Roberts tells me:
FINALLY - ED STETZER - WRITE THAT BOOK!!!!! I was in San Diego with Ed at a conference. Several of us were talking about needing a book for missional church on “theological realities” and “historical” tracing of movements and end results to serve as a guide, base, and encouragement. It would be a more technical book, but I’m convinced many of us need it - me being one - and it would serve us well.
I promise to pray about one of these things.

UPDATE: David Phillips chimes in and provides a suggestion and what this tragedy might look like:

That's great news, Ed. It seems as though the book is a no-brainer, requiring little to no prayer, so I'm glad to see you'll be giving serious consideration to the hair thing. ;->
[And for those with a humor deficiency, I'm joking about the book's not requiring any prayer.]

while a lot of us emergenty guys are uncomfortable with some of the traditional understandings of hell, i for one am not willing to ditch the idea altogether either. a book that traces the historical development of these "theologies" would be helpful i think.
make sure you give old john stott some respect though.
but for my money, you could talk about atonement, heaven/hell, salvation, prayer.

I don't know Ed...Dan's in my DMin and was my roommate in Oregon this year at our cohort meeting...I'm thinking that haircut would be divine...Here's hoping that's the one you're praying about.

Ed,
My dad used to use Wildroot hair lotion. It's great for taming that unruly duck tail. Go for it baby.

I have given it serious consideration... even received a nice email from Dan, but I just can't do it. I don't think I have enough hair to pull it off!
But, the book sound interesting.

It kind of looks like a cross between Elvis Costello and Lyle Lovett. Please DO NOT go there. ;)

The higher the hair, the closer to God.
