Check out my ministry calendar page to see where I am and when I will be there. Also, I'm trying to compile some of the best notes and comments I've received in the past few years from people I've met at these dramatic performances. Read them on my ministry page.

 The Lord has blessed me with a ministry where I portray women of the Bible. I never cease to be amazed at the doors He has opened. Proverbs 18:16 says: "A man's gifts bring him before great men", and that truly describes the men and women before whom I speak.

NEED A QUICK, YUMMY DESSERT?

TRY THE 5-MINUTE CHOCOLATE CAKE MADE IN A MUG!
Use a large mug...mix all the ingredients in the mug. Put it in the microwave for 3 minutes, on high, and TA-DA! Chocolate cake to serve 2-3 people! And it is delicious!
5-Minute Chocolate Cake
4 tbls. flour
4 tbls. sugar
2 tbls cocoa
1 egg (I use an egg beater)
3 tbls. milk
3 tbls oil
3 tbls chocolate chips (opt.)
splash vanilla
1 large coffee mug (mine holds 2 cups)
 Spray mug lightly with cooking spray. Add dry ingredients to mug and mix well. Add egg and mix again. Pour in milk & oil; mix. Add vanilla and chocolate chips and mix again. Put mug in microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, and then go back down. Allow to cool briefly and tip it onto a plate and slice. It is much better warm than cold.

In my kitchen, everything is simply done in the old fashioned, home -- style way that YOU and your family and friends could easily duplicate. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money ... work with what you can find around your house or perhaps the dollar store! (Love those dollar stores!!!)
God has commended each of us "to be given to hospitality." Hospitality is not only for friends and neighbors, but I am convinced that it must first start at home. Making memories is hospitality at its VERY best.
My prayer is that this year YOU will step out in faith and make some lasting memories with YOUR family. Remember, simply done and having fun is better than having done nothing at all. You will be blessed!

Dear Friends,
It’s been an exciting year of "happenings" in our ‘growing’ family. In June our oldest granddaughter, Ashley, was married. My husband had the great privilege of marrying her. It was an old-fashioned "home-grown" affair held in the yard of their small farm. Everything was home made – from her gown to the invitations and favors and food and the attendants dresses. The weather was beautiful – a tad hot – like 90 degrees – but it was a perfect day. The goats on the other side of the fence enjoyed the day, too, and only ate a few of the decorations off the fence! So we welcome a new grandson to the family, a red-headed mechanical engineer by the name of Joe!
Then in January, 2009, our oldest grandson and his wife had their first baby, Nicholas Alan, making us GREAT grandparents. Somehow I didn’t think we are that old, when, in fact, we really are. There is nothing like holding a new baby – and they always smell so sweet. He is a darling!
Bud is still the Chaplain for the Harrisburg Senators–starting his 23rd season. He is the oldest (number of years serving) in the country – that includes Major, Minor and Independent leagues. Baseball Chapel is a national organization that offers a tremendous service to all baseball players. If you like baseball and the history of the sport, you might consider engaging him to speak at one of your meetings – and he loves to eat!. His stories and recollections are anything but boring!
As we looked back at last year’s calendar, I am overwhelmed, again, to realize we were invited to speak at over 130 programs, retreats, conferences and church services. Our lives have been enriched by the wonderful people we’ve met and had the opportunity to fellowship with. God has told us through the Scriptures to love the people He places in our path and to make the most of every opportunity. The love and hospitality that is shown to us everywhere we go makes that profoundly easy.
If you are interested in seeing one of the programs I do, just look on my calendar and find one near you and join us. My motto is always the same: "to get blessed, you just have to show up!"
My prayer continues to be that each of us will be awakened and encouraged by the truths and promises of the Scriptures and that each of us will say, as the disciples on the road to Emmaus said, 'Didn’t our hearts burn within us when He talked with us and when He opened the Scriptures to us?' (Luke 24:32) My greatest longing is to touch hearts and inspire souls with God’s word.
Love and blessings, Judy

My passion is the Old Testament, but I also love primitive antiques, country crafts, reading, cooking, entertaining, and collecting Pfaltzgraff dishes. All of the girls in our family have Pfaltzgraff dishes, so yard sales, flea markets and Ebay keep us busy. We are close to reaching the saturation point!
Thank you for stopping by. Please come back again and see the new things we add throughout the year.
"Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy unfailing love and faithfulness". (Psalm 115:1)
