Emphasis Preaching Journal

There is a story about an old grizzly bear who roamed the forest terrorizing campers. A group of scouts had set up camp one evening, and then all gone down to the river for a midnight swim. The old bear came crashing into their campsite and spotted a kettle of soup simmering on the campfire, with the lid bounding up and down from the steam. The old bear lumbered over to the pot and greedily picked the kettle up. It burned his hands badly, but instead of dropping it, he clutched it tighter and tighter, for "hugging" is a natural defense mechanism for a grizzly bear.
