Having taken the Nazirite vow at birth, Samson had been set apart to God. As part of that vow, his hair was never to be cut. When Samson told Delilah that his strength would leave him if a razor were to be used on his head, she cunningly crafted her plan with the Philistine rulers.

While Samson slept on her lap, Delilah called in a co-conspirator to shave off the seven braids of his 563-5773 hair. Subdued and weak, Samson was captured. P.O. Box 476 224 McMinnville Hwy.

To be eligible, you must be at least 62 years old, own your own home (or owe only a small balance) and currently be living there. You will also need to undergo a fi nancial assessment to determine whether you can aff ord to continue paying your property taxes and insurance. Depending on your fi nancial situation, you may be required to put part of your loan into an escrow account to pay future bills. If the fi nancial assessment fi nds that you cannot pay your insurance and taxes and have enough cash left to live on, you’ll be denied. Loan Details Around 95 percent of all reverse mortgages off ered today are Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), which are FHA insured and off ered through private mortgage lenders and banks. HECM’s also have home value limits that vary by county, but cannot exceed $625,500. How much you can actually get through a reverse mortgage depends on your age, your home’s value and the prevailing interest rates. Generally, the older you are, the more your house is worth, and the lower the interest rates are, the more you can borrow. A 70-year-old, for example, with a home worth $250,000 could borrow around $136,000 with a fi xed-rate HECM. To estimate how much you can borrow, use the reverse mortgage calculator at reversemortgage.org. You also need to know that reverse mortgages are expensive with a number of fees, including: a 2 percent lender origination fee for the fi rst $200,000 of the home’s value and 1 percent of the remaining value, with a cap of $6,000; a 0.5 percent upfront mortgage insurance premium (MIP) fee, plus an annual MIP fee that’s equal to 1.25 percent of the outstanding loan balance; along with an appraisal fee, closing costs and other miscellaneous expenses. Most fees can be deducted for the loan amount to reduce your out-of-pocket cost at closing. To receive your money, you can opt for a lump sum, a line of credit, regular monthly checks or a combination of these. But in most cases, you cannot withdraw more than 60 percent of the loan during the fi rst year. If you do, your upfront MIP fee will be bumped up to 2.5 percent.
