Ruth: Week 5

This week we worked through Ruth 4:1-13.  We witnessed some unusual Jewish customs, heard Boaz proclaim his intention of redeeming Ruth, heard a blessing proclaimed by the town-folks, and got a quick summary of the marriage and subsequent birth of a son.

Part of the introduction to this week's lessons addressed a ministry in the Amazon called "Ray of Hope".
The people of this ministry have sacrificed their lives, looking for a Ruth in the eyes of every Amazonian they meet. ... And [God] often uses generous, radically kind people like Boaz to find them... (p 117)

Related to that, is the one question that struck me this week.  It is a question that probably doesn't have a specific answer, but it will allow us to think about Boaz, especially as a redeemer.

Why did Boaz show Ruth such kindness? (p123)

I would love for you to chime in.

Homework: Session/Week 6; Ruth 4:14-22
This is our last week of study together. I can hardly believe it has gone by so quickly.

Rainbow Layer Cake

We saw this Rainbow Checkerboard Cake video several months ago and Calvin was intrigued.  He ended up adding it to our Summer Fun Ideas List and this week we made it happen.  This was not quite a Pinterest Fail, but if you look at the video you will see how far from the original creation our cake actually was.    One cake mix was divided into pink and yellow.  One cake mix we made into blue and green.     Lots of boys.  Lots of help.  Lots of hand washing.    We cut the center out of each one and rearranged the colors.    And stacked them all together.  If we had waited until the cakes were completely cool, or even par-froze the layers they would have stacked more easily without cracking. I was running low on frosting and patience and endurace, so the end product left a lot to be desired. But, remember the boys up there?  They didn't care!  They oohed-and...

I am an inexperienced blogger. I write sporadically. I use a free blogging web-site.  I have not done a tutorial. I have not attended a blogger conference.  And I have had at least three reader's comments "lost" recently.  I am so sorry about that!! I do not know why this is happening.  I have double checked all my setting to allow comments. Even anonymous comments but the problem seems to persist.   Today I have made a small change so that the comments section will pop-up in a new window instead of at the bottom of my site.  Maybe this will help.   If you make a comment and it doesn't appear, please let me know.   Or just forgo all the blog-related-comment-mumbo-jumbo and email me directly!   I like hearing from you.
