Ruthie, since I write inspirational Christian romance, I always enjoy reading your posts. You cover a variety of topics that are pertinent in today’s world of dating and marriage. You’re unpretentious, up front, and “real.” I believe that resonates with your readers.
Best wishes and many blessings!
Thanks, Cynthia. Really appreciate your feedback! Many blessings on your writing as well!
i am not a writer, Ruth, and i just found your blog a few weeks ago, but know i look forward to reading your blogs. i read Christian fiction – not paranormal or edgy, but the mainstream for review and pleasure so enjoy it.
thankyou
Glad you are reading, Marianne! What topics are your favorite to read about? Or which topics do you wish you could read more on?
My dear sweet wife! What a year it has been. Let me use this public forum to tell you again how deeply I love you and am committed to you. You are the woman I have waited for my whole life. I am grateful for everyday I have with you!
Love,
Michael
Ruthie, I love your blog. I love your stories from China, your advice for the still-single (like me), and your little musings about being newly-married. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Laura! I just checked out your blog…nice.
Happy New Years!
Dearest Ruthie, I’m so happy for you to see the Deans picture! I’m so proud of you for who you are, for not giving up on me, for sharing your weakness and joy with me, for blessing me and others with your writing! I hope your book will publish soon, cannot wait to see what God is leading you in the next year, you are such a good example of daughter of the Lord to me! Love you!! Haven’t seen you for a whole year, I miss you so much!
