Devotions from Judy’s heart The other day I brought my computer to church to see if I could help a friend who had questions about a different program she was using. When she had asked me about it, I told her what worked on mine. But when we got together our programs were different and…
Years ago I read and memorized a passage from Proverbs 5 that warned about adultery. I was a young father and husband so I took the words to heart. “Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well” (v 15). Then verse 18 reads as follows, “May your fountain be blessed, and may you…
Devotions from Judy’s heart Recently I read Max Lacado’s new book, Grace, and it is a good to remember how much we need to trust God’s grace. We mess up every day and so every day we are in need of His unlimited grace. Satan loves to accuse not only of what we may have…
Devotions from Judy’s heart Today I read the book of Esther and for a while it looked like wicked Haman will win and Mordecai and all Jews will die. A very tight situation! For us also, doesn’t it seem often that we are losing and the enemy is winning as we go through difficult situations? …
Devotions from Judy’s heart The other day I was going in the car and had to leave my cell phone home as it needed to be charged. I didn’t feel as comfortable driving as I couldn’t call if I needed help along the way. It made me think of how the Lord is never like…

Devotions from Judy’s heart The other day we unexpectedly received a gift certificate to eat at The Chase in Walker. What a wonderful gift! We are looking forward to going there and using it in the near future. But what if we said thank you and then just left the gift card on the shelf,…
Devotions from Judy’s heart I read from “Jesus Calling” that we need to enjoy life more, relax, walk through the day with childlike delight in Him, savor every blessing, etc. I thought of last night and how we received hospitality in our own home as Kurt, Bo and Jeff prepared a gourmet dinner for us.…
Devotions from Judy’s heart When I was swimming in the pool of our hotel in the mountains, I was glad to be all alone as I like to pray while I swim. But in the pool were several floating noodles that would keep drifting into my path and impeding my progress. Finally I removed them…
I have been thinking about a insightful comment by Richard Rohr, when he describes the spiritual journey as “God coming to us disguised as our life.” What does he mean?
