Teakle, Ruth: - Ruth Teakle lives with her husband, Carl, in Beamsville, Ontario. Her life is a diverse weave of grandparenting, teaching, pastoring, writing, praying, and loving. Ruth has served for twenty years in full and part time pastoral ministry. She has a strong sense of mission to help people build healthy relational connections with God and others, discover their gifts, and walk in the fullness of their destiny. Her unique and challenging life experiences make her well qualified to share on the topic of her second devotional, "Pursuing Patience."
