"And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi,
Let me now go to the field,
and glean ears of corn after him
and glean ears of corn after him
in whose sight I shall find grace.
And she said unto her, Go, my daughter."
Ruth 2:2 KJV
Picking a name for a Blog sounds really easy . . . until you try and do it. Why? Because, as I found out very quickly the name I had picked and was so right for me and so what I wanted . . . was already taken by someone else . . . OR should I say by several others (different versions of the same). UGH!

I was however, stuck that the name for my Blog had to come from the book of Ruth a story that I am very familiar with and one that keeps coming up in my life over and over again for at least the last 35-40 years. So, there is some history between Ruth and I . . . and maybe, someday, Ill get into that, until then . . . at least some of you know a piece of that, and that will have to do, for now.
So, I read and re-read the book of Ruth . . . and nothing. Knowing that there are many versions of the Bible, and since I was at Mooresville Friends Church at the time, I started looking and I read Ruth in several different versions and reread some, and still nothing. Then I started to just read different verses that seemed to jump out at me. And, when I read "I shall find grace" KJV . . . I thought that's it! But, before getting too excited about it, I checked to see if it was available, it was, and I was excited to finally have a name . . .

Beautiful picture that matches the name of your blog to reflect and find peace. I hope that your camp trip is a beginning and kick-start for your Ireland trip where the ultimate peace will be found. Keep looking and posting of your findings.
I like the positive thinking of this title. I think that expectant waiting is a good attitude for a Quaker, traveling or at home.

Thanks Linda - I had the image of this particular spot in camp as the picture for this post. I thought it fit well . . . a few more chosen pictures as I continue to post from Quaker Haven this week . . .
Thanks Robin! I hadn't thought of the title in quite that way . . .
Its July 8 Luanne! Looking forward to the next post. I assume you are traveling this week.
Yes, it is July 8th, thanks for reminding me, Brandon. I'm trying to separate thoughts running though my head from this last weekend with USFWI/QMI Triennial here in Indianapolis . . . and expect that I'll come up with several posts from all the experiences and abundant blessings. I will be traveling this week, but short distance, as I will be in Martinsville, IN all day Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday for our Cub Scout Day Camp as the Senior Archery Range Officer . . . and may come up with something to post about from that.
