Mr Strong : He fades – slowly
Steve Fenning and Dave Hannah
What young boy hasn’t grown up dreaming of one day being James Bond: the coolest, grittiest secret agent of the them all? In every film he saves the world from a dangerous villain, gets the beautiful girl and never messes his hair up once.
Samson was a bible character who was so Bondlike in his attitude and lifestyle that he could have been another Ian Fleming creation. He had the strength and ripped muscles every man envies but a character so weak it eventually became his downfall.
Samson was a ‘He man’ with a ‘She weakness’. His life spiralled out of control sexually – and it was a slow fade. He didn’t lose his strength because he lost his hair. He lost his strength because he walked away from God.
And the result was bad.
