My husband and I went to watch ‘Prometheus’ earlier this year. I’ve never been much of an ‘Aliens’ fan but I did find the premise behind it quite interesting. It was one in which man goes in search of God, in the case of this movie “the gods” to discover why he has been created. […]
Before we get started I want to share with you a great video called I Love Ruth: The Story of Ruth by Phil Smouse. It is taken from “My Big Book of Bible Stories.” After hearing the poem I can’t wait to find the book. httpv://youtu.be/dXgCJVNx1fk 13 So Boaz took Ruth, and she became […]
Last week we left off with Ruth’s fate hanging up in the air. We know the end of the story, because this is a much loved story that has been told over and over again, but Ruth did not know the end of the story, Boaz did not know the end of the story and […]
I feel a little bit like Ruth did when she came home to Naomi after her long days of gleaning, carrying a huge bundle that would take days for the two of them to eat. So too, has God been extra gracious to me as I have studied His word this week. He has intentionally […]
Vs 1 Now Naomi had a relative on her husband’s side, a man of standing from the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz. Naomi was in the family. Boaz was man of great wealth – cattle on a 1000 hills. Elimelech – Messiah family line. Enter Boaz. Boaz was the son of Salmon whose […]

A storm, a dark terrible storm, has engulfed my life and swallowed up my family. It was sudden and furiously swift. These past days have been violent and relentless. My heart has been in my throat so much that breathing has sometimes been painful. I have cried from a place so deep in my […]
As a child I learned the poem by Robert Frost “The Road Not Taken”. Although it is not a Christian poem the last verse has remained in my memory and does reflect a fact in the life of faith: “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, […]
I’ve been reading a book called Charles Spurgeon, The Great Orator by J.C. Carlile. Something I read last night stayed with me all day today and I wanted to continue to remember it. In recounting Spurgeon’s education, a cook is mentioned who had great influence on him. “During this time he was influenced greatly by […]
I’ve been scouting the land ahead to see what lies before us before we all travel down and begin our study on the book of Ruth. As I mentioned before, I’ve never done a personal study on the book of Ruth before so I wanted a general idea of the layout of the land so […]
