  www.freepik.com Love  is in the air! Can you feel it? Even in bitter cold and knee-deep snow, our hearts warm with love for our spouse, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all the people who make our lives complete.   If we think about it, during our lifetimes, we’ve experienced a gamut of love: fresh, new love, passionate love, comfortable love, anticipated love, and lost love. But no love as inclusive, all-encompassing, or as perfect as God’s love for us.   I know you know these things and can probably quote John 3:16, alongside the best Bible Quizzers. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”   This glorious, eternal truth escapes many.

It’s hard for me to understand why humans feel it necessary to riot, break the law, fight, do damage, destroy property, trespass, and hate, and then act as though their behavior is righteous when it is anything but.   Why doesn’t our younger generation respect authority and the laws of our land? Why do they feel the need to protect criminals instead of America’s citizens? Where are common sense and eyes to see clear-cut right and wrong? And why do some so-called leaders desire the demise of our country, spew lies, and egg-on rioters?   What happened to our Land of the Free and Home of the Brave ? How did our older generation fail to pass on respect for our President, law enforcement, and care for fellow citizens with different opinions? Why could we not impart sanity, good judgme...

C h r i s t m a s would mean nothing without The Baby born in Bethlehem .   And...speaking of Bethlehem, a group of us girls just finished studying the Book of Ruth. But why mention Ruth at C h r i s t m a s t i m e ? Well…it turns out...Ruth is set in Bethlehem . Interesting right? So, let’s see if we can find a C h r i s t m a s  connection, and conclude our series.   With famine in Bethlehem, Judah , Elimelech, Naomi, and their two sons, Mahlon and Chilion, fled to the pagan country of Moab.

Her daughters-in-law began the journey with Naomi, but Orpah turned ba...
