HUSBAND: ‘‘Water in the carburetor? That’s ridiculous.’’
WIFE: ‘‘I tell you the car has water in the carburetor.’’

One day, Joe, Bob and Dave were hiking in a wilderness area when they came upon a large, raging, violent river. They needed to get to the other side, but had no idea of how to do so.

She has lost her father-in-law, brother-in-law, and husband, and all she has left is Naomi. Orpha, who was the other daughter in law decides to go back to her people and start all over again, but not Ruth. She has already said that Naomi’s God will be her God and Naomi’s people will be her people. Now they have both traveled that 100-mile trip around the Dead Sea and over mountains a mile high just ...
