FROM THE MESSAGE

“You know, Daniel Day-Lewis speaks about how much he loves the process of “loss of self.” But it’s always at the cost of others. While filming My Left Foot, he refused to leave his wheelchair and made crew members lift him over equipment to move him from place to place. He also demanded they spoon-feed him, as his character was unable to move his arms. People talk about his dedication and sacrifice, but it’s those around him who have to foot the bill. Not Elkanah and Hannah. They have a sincere, steadfast, sacrificial worship that focuses not on self, but on Yahweh.“
