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, Each day we are enjoying left-overs from Bo’s fantastic gourmet cooking. Although he went home, we are still partaking of what he left behind. Hopefully as we depart from this world we leave much behind spiritually for others to feed on for the remainder of their lives. Just think of…
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 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…
Devotions from Judy’s heart While at Kurt’s we had quite a laugh as our 4 year old grandson, Grant, all of a sudden walked down the sidelines at the soccer game all humped over and knees bent wide apart. When we asked him about it, he said he was pretending to walk like grandpa!…
Devotions from Judy’s heart Wouldn’t it be great if life was all forward and upward? This past week we walked on mountain trails that wound around, went up and down, and were anything but straight. And isn’t that really what life is like? Certainly not a straight line! Richard Rohr (Falling Upward) talks about…
Devotions from Judy’s heart Our grandson John Mark knows he is loved so much by his parents as he receives their care, attention, hugs, and words of love and affirmation. His parents also know he is not “perfect” but still love him for who he is. We all need people in our lives who see…
