    Being more than a survivor means risking everything for God’s sake

    Listen to this comment I heard the other day. “We’ve adopted such an attitude of “risk avoidance” that I’m afraid we may well miss the next great advancement.

    I question Naomi’s statement. Naomi said that she had left Bethlehem “full” and had come back to Bethlehem “empty.” If she had been so “full,” Why then, had she ever left Bethlehem to begin with? Empty? Didn’t Ruth just pledge to be at her side?
