long time, no write

So, I haven't been writing... I haven't been reading much, and I HAVE not had regular access to reliable internet in a good while...

So, while I work on some essays - yes, multiple writings, I really liked this piece of prose as I judge life for the rest of my year of almost 30....

And randomly, this probably deserves more attention later... but I was reconsidering some ideas I have about marriage... and read THIS this week.

The consideration was regarding Ruth and Boaz. I love their story. I love that she leaves her old life to join this new crazy people of faith... I identify with her story. I love that Boaz is a gentleman- he protects Ruth, he provides for her, he waits to make a move b/c their might be a better person for her. I hope for my own Boaz. Then, something struck me last week... What if God called you to be Boaz instead of Ruth? Could I do it in reverse? And it's something that still messes with my mind.... something I'll need to continue to wrestle with. God hasn't asked me to do it, so it's a little silly, and yet, something I think needs attention...
