My wife hates the fact that I want to grow a beard, but she's keen on my entering the diaconate one day. I know I've told her that it's canonically required (at least technically) for a deacon to be bearded, as well, but I'm not sure if she remembers it.

There's also the fact that I've unforutunately inherited my father's genes when it comes to facial hair. My maternal uncle has an incredible beard, but all my paternal uncles can't seem to grow one to save their lives. Mustaches, yes. Beards, no.

I want to attend the World Beard and Mustache Championships someday.
