Reminisce with me, would you? To a time of hairdos most of us would rather forget.

That's right, the mullet. And unfortunately, it would sometimes come in families.

Let's review the anatomy of the mullet, shall we?

Business in the front, party in the back. It's an interesting concept. That on one head, you could have both a business look, and a party look, as if the two would never meet. It never did quite work, and thankfully, the style has faded into obscurity.mostly. You may catch someone sporting this 'do every now and then. If you do, you may want to inform them that even Billy Ray has moved on, and so should they. But please, tell them gently, as I'm sure they have an achy breaky heart. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself!)

You ever try that with God? A business in the front, party in the back kind of approach to your relationship with Him? It's a new term I'm just now inventing - Mullet Christianity. Yes folks, God is over the mullet too.

It's so tempting to want to go to God trying to look good (business in the front) but yet "hiding" all the sin and selfish desires we're not ready to give up (party in the back). Just like mulletheads (another term I'm just now inventing) couldn't fool anyone into thinking they had anything that resembled a business look, neither can we fool God. He sees past all appearances and right into our hearts. We may be able to put on a shiny exterior to others, but we can't with God. They may buy our business front, but God knows we're secretly trying to party.

God wants all of us, He doesn't want someone who only says the right things or who plays the part of a Christian well. He doesn't want us to hang on to anything, and everything He has to offer is so much better than whatever we give up.

So go ahead. Take out those scissors, and chop off the party. God has a better one waiting for you anyway.
