The Book of Ruth:Recap

Ruth is a beautiful story which outlines the love and sacfifice a young woman shows for her mother-in-law.  After loosing her husband, Ruth decides to stay with her mother-in-law as oppose to going back to her home. I thought of myself after reading this story.  If, God forbid, I had lost my wife and we had no children.  Would I stay close to my mother-in-law and nurse her through her final days? Would my wife do the same for my mother?  How many people do you know that demonstrates that kind of selfless love.  I don’t know many.

Judges: Recap

So I’ve finally fished the book of Judges. It was a very good read. Easier than Leviticus and Numbers. Judges truly shows how God’s forgiveness is great. We are so quick to hold grudges against the ones who have hurt us. Especially if that person is close i.e, Husband, Wife, Brother Mother, etc. We are all human. We are born sinners. After reading Judges, I believe I have a better take on forgiveness and will try and be me forgiving.

Judges, finishes with the story of Samson. I’ve heard the story several times growing up. I’ve seen the movie and cartoon. I never knew it was in Judges. Man, poor samson. Well it would take a woman to take down such a strong man. lol.

Reading/Writing Hiatus

I have been to occupied to read the Bible. I have been to occupid to write this blog. Truth be told, I haven’t been to occupied at all. I’ve been lazy, complacecent, and selfish. Yes, I’ve had time to eat, play, live, drink, and be merry. I’ve been able to do these things through God’s grace and I haven’t acknowledged him one bit. Okay, I’ll stop beating myself up now and get back on track.
