And that brings us to Ruth. Ruth is an interlude of love. Ruth is an oasis in the middle of an arid desert. Ruth is concise and personality driven. After some heavy sledding, it's a welcome relief.
When Benjamin Franklin was our Ambassador to France, he joined the Infidels Club. They did not meet to bash Jesus or religion; they met to eat and read literary masterpieces. One day Franklin read the book of Ruth to the Infidels Club!

Today's clip was longer than usual and that only leaves about ...
