11/3/09 Cathy and I got to carpool today (in my Prius, thank you very much). We are trying to save the planet one day at a time. She works at Austin High School, which means I took my walk around Lady Bird Lake on one of the best mornings ever. My prayer verse is from Ruth 4:14a, "Blessed be the LORD, who has not left you this day without a redeemer." A redeemer is one who sets free or who pays the price for freedom. In Ruth's context, it is the closest male family member who has the power to do the right thing and take care of 2 widows, which Boaz does by marrying Ruth. They have a child, who becomes part of the family tree for David, who becomes part of the family tree for Jesus. We have a redeemer.
Love,
Lynn
