Devotions from Judy’s heart Sometimes things are not as they seem and we need to look deeper. When we go to a public pool, the water looks so great and inviting and clean. But studies show how many contaminates there are in the water and that 1 out of 4 (that were honest) said…
Devotions from Judy’s heart Sometimes things get worse before they get better. A couple weeks ago I did some deeper cleaning. I pulled out the screens, dusted the blinds and base boards, and washed the windows. I was hoping no one would stop over as it was a mess with all the cleaning supplies,…

Devotions from Judy’s heart On Friday I made a call to Linnea as I had wanted to bring over a meal after her surgery but got their answering machine. I thought she hadn’t come home from the hospital yet, so later in the day I walked over to her house to water her plants. And…
