Well, than it's official then!  Garee's beard is the best one on this board and he's got it going on!

I third that...I have a half hearted beard since retiring three years ago and I did it because every time I went on vacation I wouldn't shave and I made a promise to myself when I retired I wouldn't shave any more. So every time I look in the mirror I still think I'm on Vacation.

  

Shain,

You aren't on vacation... People like you and I don't have them.  You may have retired from your earthly job, and if so, God bless you and if you are getting Social Security, I am thankful my tax dollars are going to you.  But did you retire from your REAL job?  Were you placed on this earth to be a teacher, a construction worker, a lawyer, or whatever you did?  You were never placed on this earth to do that.... You were placed on this earth for God's purpose!  So you're real job ain't done!  You just had that thingy to earn money and see you through!

Can I get an amen for that?
  

Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Jas 2:24
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
