A new movie coming out will put an added dichotomy into the persistent themes of various Shakespearean tragedies.  A young woman grows up as one of four treasured daughters.  They live in a town with lots of family.  At a certain age, she becomes interested in a suitor but with many offers available among those across various countries who are within the same age bracket of her graduating class, she becomes interested in an airline steward who  hoped her well on her brief travel to her family's prestigious and prosperous Island nation; a nation brimming with the gospel of Matthew 4, 5,6, and 7. He did not even mention the gospel but it must have been aired in an In-Flight movie called Stigmata (C).   He was the right age for his wife who lived in his heart and their home as she hoped for his safe travel while at work, busily raising their eight children which means they had eight tooth brushes and eight pairs of shoes.  The Gran would babysit when the wife had to do some analysis  for a Radiologist's office. Someone thought he was a Pastor but he wasn't really except that he believed in John 17 quite a great deal and decided to understand that not everyone will understand the way in which he may respond  to certain scenarios but it was a part of his job training a long time ago; that the customer was always right and Jesus did say you would be like a sheep among ravenous wolves who could get upset if they think you don't call or write sufficiently ( just call that person to stay in touch but why get upset at the nice steward or airman) but everybody should have a phone now or a twitter account if they think someone should be in touch.  It will be quite the addition.   The most important lesson  as taught by the father of the four  treasured daughters is that no one's father should, in the usual course of family relationships,  dare to abuse you while expecting God to forgive them unless they are your natural father.  It is a tremendous tradition.
