    For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 1 Corinthians 11:31 (KJV) Judge ourselves – During the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, these words of Paul ring loudly.

  • Full of Nothing

    I went away full, but the Lord has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me and the Almighty has afflicted me?” Ruth 1:21 (NASB) Full – This response from Naomi when compared to chapter’s beginning opens up a deeper understanding of how she came into this state – a state of hopelessness. She went…
