We are sad to say good-bye to all of our wonderful writers, readers, and followers, but it is time for RUBY to move on to other projects.
RUBY magazine has been a great resource for Christian women as they serve the LORD in their homes and with their families. When RUBY magazine began over 10 years ago, there were not a lot of online resources for Christian women. But now there are so many other inspiring resources available online for each one of you. In the past year we have realized that the ministry of RUBY is not reaching a wide enough audience, nor is it receiving the support ..read more

For Him, success is a life that is spent at His feet seeking Him and allowing Him to grow us and change us no matter how painful the process may be.
My life began 40 years ago, born to a young man and woman who would go on to serve God in full-time ministry. I was the third of four children, and the first girl.
