I promise you the "strength of Boaz" was not the showcase here
It was yanking beloved hearts
The bible is spicy
Boaz said "I know I'm old but thank you for being sweet to me... You could have been sweet to young men... But you were sweet to me let me see your purse"
What's the moral lesson here????

Survival is greater than respectability πŸ€ΈπŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ
I'll do what I gotta do to not die where I am.
Disenfranchised communities could probably glean more from the text if we didn't necessitate fairy tale as essential framing.

I'm very glad to connect with you in this space... My spiritual home is people who will run when provoked by the spirit. πŸ’œ
