Sunday June 7th, 2009 A greeting by any other name...

4. Just then Boaz arrived from Bethlehem and greeted the harvesters, "The LORD be with you!" "The LORD bless you!" they called back.

I love this verse. The way the people interact is hugely awesome!

Here is Boaz, arriving in Bethlehem and he sees his workers and the first thing he says to them is "The LORD be with you!" (Exclamation point, he shouted it!)
Not "How's the crop?" or "Hi there, you guys working hard or hardly working?" He said "God be with you!"

Total awesomeness. I think it would be cool to be greeted like that.
