Picture for a moment life as a baseball game. So often we are only looking for, or remembering only the home runs in the game. In reality it is the singles and the doubles that make up the score at the end of the game. Being a mother and father, trying to raise moral children with character is a challenge at best. I believe that Judie has captured the whole game of life with her patchwork of stories, that will inspire and encourage those raising femilies today. As Judie knits story after story together to make up the blanket of life, she gives you the feeling we should be thankful for the little things in life, as well as the big. It is possible with God today to have victory in raising a family. Her loving husband and partner for life Norm Phillips
