    Devotions from Judy’s heart Our son just got progressive tri-focal glasses so now he can read menus etc. I also have reading glasses even though I don’t need glasses for driving, watching t.v. etc.  I have to admit that I am “blind” to reading a map, even my Bible, without my reading glasses  In a…

    Devotions from Judy’s heart It’s been said that one picture is worth a 1,000 words. I found that true as a picture was put on Facebook of our friend, Grace, up and walking with the aid of a walker after her knee replacement yesterday. My heart just sang as I saw how well she was…

    Devotions from Judy’s heart Today I struggled with finding a pr of shoes that I could wear to work at Share and Care and ended up with sandals. Just yesterday I noticed there was blood on the basement floor and I wondered where was it coming from.  I had been downstairs earlier with bare feet…

  • I have been thinking of the tragic story of Lance Armstrong  and the lessons his story can teach men.  As many of you know, he granted Oprah Winfrey a two hour interview, in which he talked of his “fall from grace.”  Armstrong, who overcame cancer and won seven Tour de France titles, which make him…

    Devotions from Judy’s heart Good things that are carried to extreme may no longer be good!  That is evident when someone sits next to you that is “bathed” in perfume..a  little perfume can go a long way and too much is sickening! Recently a good friend said she would play scrabble on line with me…
