We got a bingo game. Sam used it for a different purpose. He started turning the cage that had the wooden balls in it with numbers from 1-75 and said, “If I get a number higher than 41, I will dedicate the rest of my life to God!” He got 28. He said, “That one didn’t count.” So he turned it again and again until he got a number above 41. I have a feeling that he was only looking for an excuse to do something he committed long ago to do. Once he got his magic number I said, “Well Sam, what does that mean for you now?” Interestingly he said, “I guess that means no more teasing!” Funny that that should be the biggest temptation for him right now. He may not stop teasing even with his new resolve, but at least I know leading a life of dedication is something he is thinking about.
