Judy passed away on January 27th. God bathed her in his love and took her peacefully. She never experienced any pain. As her husband Michael promised, the last words she heard was him telling her in loved her. Michael took Judy on final adventure to ensure she continues to be a World Traveler. He spread her ashes in the Colorado River and from the currents sent her on her world tour.

Judy we miss you immensely and love you very much!

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference.

I have seen a neuro-opthamologist today who confirms that there is damage to my optical nerve. He wants to do further testing. The date of this test is unknown. But, I do know that I have an appointment with a neuro-oncologist @ UCLA on May 13th. Michael and I continue to lean on each other for strength. Thank you for continuing to keep us in your prayers.

Love Judith and Michael

Judith got some good news last week but there are still many questions to be answered.

The best news was that the pathology report indicated that the cancer was not in her cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). The tumor was re-sected and the margins were clear. Judith's oncologist does not know why her vision is deteriorating and she has been referred to a neurologist oncologist at UCLA. Judith and Michael are patiently waiting to find out when this appointment will take place as no treat plan can be developed until then.

We are praying for the restoration of Judith's sight. It continues to slowly deteriorate in both eyes. Her left eye has been impacted more than her right. There is a new phone number for the weekly prayer session at 11:00 am - pacific on Sundays: (218) 862-1001 Participant Access Code: 935273#. Please join us.

Judy-Jude-Judith slept well last night with Michael's head resting on the bed as he watched over his Sweetpea. Supposedly, no sleep-overs allowed but I am positive Michael would not have taken "no" for an answer.

Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you."

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
