Haha thanks @Lambano . It wasn't really intentional but my brain is all over the place and I've been going back to that video for years now.BTW, the way you coordinated the Bears' video with the Bible story in order to convey your own deepest feelings was well-conceived and executed. Impressive. You have quite an array of talents.
Okay, haven't read all the replies, but I was thinking of Samuel's mum sitting on the steps of the sanctuary when the priest thought she was drunk. Fluffy, I'm a 69yo
cry baby. Usually they're tears of joy, or love, or relief, but sometimes just downright exasperation and bewilderment. And guess what, I'm still married after 44 years. Can't be that bad.
@Lambano brought up Hannah recently, too. (1 Samuel 1, for anyone who is curious)
I wouldn't doubt that willingness for openness and vulnerability also made for a happier and healthier blessing of 44 years.
