IN: Many of us did n't like the fried oysters or the oyster stew , but this chili was a hit . I was given the recipe , and I ' ve enjoyed using it . In 2006 , after we had served in our current church for about a year and a half , my father - in - law was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer that would soon take his life .
What may happen after my dad was diagnosed ?

OUT: The church prayed for him until he died .

IN: Well , our idea was that he would enjoy them .... He loved the sparklers and running around the yard with Brooklyn . And then the load noises began .... He managed to handle one or two just by running close to me but then that was it and he demanded to go inside . We watched from inside for a while and he kept getting farther and farther away from the front glass door . He decided he wanted to try going back out but he wanted to wear Daddy 's headphones .
What may happen before hearing the loud noise ?

OUT: He would enjoy the sparklers more .

IN: Looking into his red eyes , I added , " The moment I saw you I knew I was looking at a mer who knows how to opportunities that present themselves to him . In fact , I believe you could teach me a thing or two .
What might I want to learn from him ?

OUT:
I might want to learn how to recognize opportunities .
