I reread 1st Kings recently. I always love the part about Samson. Great read. His long hair enabled him to have ultimate strength. God gave him that strength and he abused it. Samson did what he pleased and even married a foreign woman, the modern day stigma equivalent to marrying a French-Canadian. Samson was believed to be the strongest thing on earth until his undoing. To this day, anything that is stronger than Samson is referred to as Samsonite®.
Samson was tricked into dumb contests and battles of wit (sans iocaine powder). Each time he lost it was his own fault and usually because of his pride. He took it out on everyone around him, or whatever animals available. He was super duped over and over again. And he refused to take anyone’s advice. This, my dear readers, is the same as me. I am a lot like Samson. Sometimes I don’t listen to reason from friends and family and I even take it out on those around me including small animals. In fact, I am just like Samson...except the long hair...and my arms are near atrophy. And I would not be caught dead in boots like the ones in the picture. And I would never, EVER, marry a French-Canadian.
