The book, this picture of Ruth, her character, the model she is, and then the raw love story behind her and Boaz and then the picture of Christ redeeming us, just like Boaz redeemed Ruth. All the ingredients for the ultimate Hollywood Classic. Also, the locatioRead More....

The pathology report is back and the tumor was malignant and they were not able to remove it all. For a full report from The Village, go here. This is very difficult.

For a first week of questions you guys really did not waste any time. Of course, when we are experiencing pain, time is of the essence, right! In thinking about which direction to go in my response, I tried to think about one of the issues brought up that may affect the most people. I just spent some time with family over the Thanksgiving holiday, as I am sure many of you did, which of course is a whole other topic, right? So who is going to give me counsel on that one? But, here is a poiRead More....
