Concordia Publishing House
Concordia Publishing House is the publishing house for the LCMS. Here you can find great resources on devotions, Bible studies, children's books, music, and more. Ruth may be a bit biased, but she hears there's a great debut novel out there. She may or may not be the author…

And speaking of CPH, this is their blog. It has some great articles on various topics like marriage and Christian living, as well as keeps you informed of new releases coming out. It's a wonderful resource.

Sister, Daughter, Mother, Wife
This is a blog that focuses on “Living our vocations as Lutheran women.” It's written by women, for women, and is “an online source of Lutheran encouragement, community, and advice. This is where you can find discussions of relationships in a Law and Gospel context. Topics range from living the single life, to building cross-generational friendships, to teaching children to behave respectfully in church.” Ruth is an occasional guest author on this blog and re-blog their posts from time to time as well.

Raising Godly Children
Here's another blog Ruth writes for occasionally. As the title suggests, it's a blog for parents who strive to raise godly children in a world that's anything but. There are some great articles on there that she hopes are as helpful to you as they are to her.

Answers in Genesis
This is an excellent resource for creation and evolution. Founder Ken Ham has compiled a great deal of information that is helpful in understanding and responding to evolutionist arguments. There are archived articles, newsletters, and even online books for free. Definitely worth your time if you have questions about either creation or evolution.
