I love this song - its joyfulness, its testimony, its truths. It was written by one of the most well-known hymnists - Fanny Crosby. I love Fanny Crosby's songs. They all seem to burst with life and truth. I think being blind gave her sight into things we have no idea of. The story behind …

This week I haven't had a lot of time to read because I've been organizing our basement. I did however find another place where you can get free or cheap ebooks - BookBub. There's a lot that just doesn't interest me, but about once a week I find a book I'm interested in. I never …

Surprises
Life is now settling into a pleasant routine for Naomi and Ruth. Boaz tells Ruth to glean only in his fields and Naomi seconds this plan. Ruth 2:17-23 - 17 So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley. 18 And she …
