Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday I shampooed the carpet given to us by Kurt and Brenda that had been in their basement. As I used our carpet cleaner I saw a transformation take place. The carpet’s faded pattern became more defined as it got cleaned and layers of cat hair etc were removed. I…
Judy and I have just returned from spending a couple days with our grand kids in Kansas City, Ks. I usually learn some spiritual lesson as I spend time with the kids. This time it was related to the time I spend with my four year old grandson, Grant. He and I made a trip up the…
Devotions from Judy’s heart Change is good! Sometimes we get a choice about change but other times circumstances may be out of our control to bring change.

Devotions from Judy’s heart The other day I defrosted and cleaned out our chest freezers in the garage. I spent part of my time almost upside down, as I had to bend over and dig deep into the bottom. We may not remember what is even in there, and I was surprised by…
