Boaz

I woke up in a library...well okay, I was woken up in a library by a girl.  Yeah, I know...but it is not that way.  The library had just announced that it was closing and she saw me asleep and woke me up.  I didn't know where I was or even who I am.  I panicked--jumpy, scared and very confused.

We walked out in to night together.  She asked where I was from and where was I going---I blerted out that I didn't know and felt hot tears sting my eyes---geez, I am an adult (am I!?).  She suggested that I search my pockets---I did and only found a book, well actually a journal and a coin. A coin that neither one of us recognized.  The journal was red leather and had the name, Boaz, written in it several times.

Well, she said.  I guess that clears one thing up, that must be your name.  Boaz....Boaz...sounds good.  Isn't he someone from the bible???  Yeah, she said...the book of Ruth. C'mon, lets go get something to eat and we can talk more...I think you need to talk.
