Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday I was at a coffee party and one of the gals showed a picture of a bear taken right from her window. Another gal said this bear was in her garage and they had a hard time getting him to leave, even after banging on things. As you can imagine…

We have had some excitment on the lake in the last couple of weeks. You see, Judy’s cousin Tim and his son Matt have bought a cat in Canada. No, it is not a pussy cut, but a a huge bulldozer “cat” with a 15 ‘ blade. They want to make some trails on their…

The toy bins from the storage are now out, little chairs on the deck washed, daily prizes wrapped, food prepared etc. As I do these things there is anticipation for the fun we will have together when they…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Lately we have had some rich times around the table. It is a place where belonging happens! As Henri Nouwen says, “The table is a place we invite our friends to be part of our lives. We want them to be nurtured by this same food and drink that nurtures…
