Ruth 2
Well, years ago there was a football coach. And he was a head coach. And he had hired an assistant coach. And this guy was going to help him do all sorts of things.

Hey, have you ever gotten knocked down in life? You have been flattened and knocked down so low that you say, "I can't go any lower than this. I have hit rock bottom. I am so low right now, I could play handball against the curb. I can't get any lower than that." Has that ever happened to you? It happened to Ruth.

Ruth was a lady who was born and lived in Moab all her life. She married a Jewish boy. And then he died. And she attached herself to this Jewish family, to her mother-in-law, Naomi.
