Hi this is Mark. I have taken over from Ruth on the letter "R". I have done this with good reason. I will in short order explain why Ruth is an amazing gift from God. Ruth is completely genuine and as such has nothing to hide. What you see is what you get. She is the greatest friend I have ever known. She is radically devoted to her Lord and friend Jesus, and has a radical passion for his interests especially his people. She possesses many gifts, talents, and abilities. She is an advocate for the broken and downtrodden. She always stands up for the underdog. When it comes to the people that she loves she is like a lioness fighting to protect her young ones. Ruth has an adoptive heart towards all children. She is a mother to every child that comes into contact with her. She has a large capacity to love the so-called unlovely. When it comes to loving the underdog, I have always felt that I was the most unworthy of her affections yet she has found it in her heart to show me the unconditional love of our redeemer. I know that she will always stand by my side as my defense, my help, and my co-heir of life. I love you Lioness of the Lord.
