Holy Crap

Paperback and Kindle. Published with Trilogy Publishing (TBN).

Putting the words “Holy” and “crap” together is risky at best for a book title. But it caught your eye long enough to stir interest, and that is why it works. Everyone has a story. Each of us has survived our fair share of crap. These are Judy’s true stories. Every tear, every heartache and every rescue.

“I have chosen to believe that all of the messy stuff I have endured has been strategically and divinely used in my life to fulfill purpose.”

“He didn’t make the messes, but He didn’t mind getting His hands dirty and pulling me out of the pile!”

“His grace has sustained me but it’s up to me to take the mess I call crap and make it fertilizer for others.”

“The conversation that required I use the words Holy and crap together was one I enjoyed having with God. He said, ‘It’s ok. It was crap, but I made it holy.’”

Chasing Legacy

On living a life that lasts

Legacy happens. Intentionally or unintentionally, we will leave evidence of our existence. We cannot leave an inheritance we do not possess. Materialistic, emotional or spiritual bequests are limited by what actually happens on the journey.

Our success in life is not measured by how much we accumulate to leave others when we die. It is measured by the lives we influence along the way. It is not our dying that establishes our legacy. It is found in our living. If we want to leave a legacy, sometimes we will have to chase it.

“I actually have the opportunity to affect generations. I can be a ripple in the pond or I can be a tidal wave.”

“Legacy is not always established by the person up front.”

“I may bring different things to the table, but as long as I show up to the right table, it’s all good.”

Just Judy, Collection 1 book cover. Film strips of Judy in playful poses.

It’s Just Judy

Collection 1. Columns and observations

Columns, articles and observations written over many years, gathered so you can take something useful from her experience.

“Where are the ‘Vision Casters’? Where are the ‘Dream Pushers’? Didn’t anybody tell these kids when they were small that there was a great plan for their lives and they could be anything they wanted? Hasn’t anyone spent five minutes digging deep into their souls to find their passions?”

“My Mother told me to love others but it was not her words that taught me to love, it was her love.”

“I am what I am. My opinions are based on the truth of the Bible and I make no apologies. I have learned more from my mistakes than I have from my successes. Trust me, you will too.”

Who Washed the Sky?

There is life after grief

Book one in a series on grief. For the moment when you need something solid enough to hold the weight of your pain.

Nothing you could have done would have prepared you for how you actually feel right now, and there are no absolute answers. Judy has suffered the loss of a child, and she writes about grief from the inside.

“There is a moment in grief recovery where we discover something solid enough to hold the weight of our pain, just long enough to help us balance and stand back up. Some word, thought or opportunity that gets our attention and distracts us from the darkness. For me, it was conversation with God.”
