Devotions from Judy’s heart Do we live on the surface or do we experience abundant life that Jesus promised us in John 10:10?  We have a choice to live superficially or live deeply and abundantly. When we had the farewell coffee time for our interim pastor, our council president knitted him a beautiful prayer shawl.…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Do you know we are still eating some left-overs from when Kurt and his friends were here?  The food they cooked was fantastic and we are still enjoying and savoring the results.  When they left the cabin, they left behind some wonderful gourmet dishes and made me think of what we…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Surprise!! How many times have we been surprised by a party, maybe someone’s kindness to us, a gift etc?   It may be a simple kindness like my neighbor who picks me up for Line Dancing and has my passenger seat all heated up by the time she arrives at our house.…

Devotions from Judy’s heart While Kurt and his buddies were up here we had a mishap on the night of the feast they prepared. There was a hot bubbling carrot soufflé that was being carried to the table along with the Beef Wellington etc. All of a sudden I heard a big splat and the…

Devotions from Judy’s heart When I went for a prayer walk the other day and saw many deer tracks in the snow, it made me aware that there is a lot of activity going on that is often unseen by our eyes. When I walked a little farther, 3 deer ran across the road right…
