OK, whatever. I think it is just a great example of selfless service. It is worth remembering all aspects of marriage and what it is all about. Sometimes, it's just nice to stop and think. Count your blessings for the health and family that you have, and view a neat example of true love.
I guess that makes me sappy. Some folks here might think it's nice. If not, it's up to them.
So you're chasing around a fly and in your world, I'm the idiot?

I'd have struggled to stand there with a camera and watch that poor man trying to even feed his wife with difficulty without offering to help. I wonder how much out of the billions of dollars that the Church has that they paid these two people for their care? Or even for working on this video?
The church has shown by it's actions it rarely pays for services rendered to the church, considering it's track record with paying for services I'd go with not paid until it could be show otherwise.

To actually do the job as a film producer he would need film production knowledge. Then he has to find and acknowledge promising material, supervise the sound or music editing, and final say on scene editing....for starters.
What in his resume, as an 85 year old former nuclear industry engineer, backs your claim he's a video producer?

I'm sure that it was a matter of overseeing the project. However, he has put together a lot of media presentations as a hobby.
