For graduation Jan gave me a wonderful ring with Hebrew inscription from the book of Ruth.  We felt this a better gift to provide a reminder that God has been with us, we will go after Him together (as she has faithfully done these 16 years - as of January 8th), and the birth of … Continue reading My “Ruth” Theme…

In my Bible reading yesterday, I read through Genesis 18.  This chapter includes Sarah's laughter in her tent (and the following rebuke) upon hearing she was to have a child; God's promises to Abraham further developed; and Abraham's intercession for Sodom, primarily due to the fact his nephew, Lot (and family), were living there.
