@JonEricson Re: the footnote in your meta post—congratulations!

@Kazark Oh, I hadn't noticed that the footnote changed. Congratulations @JonEricson!

@JonEricson I've taught the Samson chapters a few times. I give a somewhat different presentation to adults than I do to kids.

@Kazark and @Monica Cellio: Thanks! It's been crazy, but we are really excited. (And a little bit terrified. ;)

@Ami I'm trying to decide exactly what I will say tomorrow. Samson seemed like the sort of man I wouldn't enjoy being around, but he's listed as a hero of the faith. I'll report back later what I end up saying about his life.

@JonEricson, another possible question on this topic: What was the position of "Judge" in the Book of Judges and what did Samson do to earn that title?

@JonEricson, the questions I like to ask: what is the relationship between Samson's failings and the failings of his generation? In what ways was Samson able to see beyond the religious context he was born into?
