About Judy Eurey

In my life I am a wife to Ed, a mom to Amanda and Charles, Mimi to Sara and Jessy, and Judy to my friends and family. In 2019 I retired from pastoral ministry and have settled into my new normal. Frankly I love being retired. Unless otherwise noted, the Scripture passages used on my blog DayLight are my own paraphrased interpretations. I invite you to verify, dispute and otherwise comment. I am open to discussion.

Processed by: Helicon Filter;DayLight Scripture – God is our refuge and strength, a help always near in times of great trouble.

DayLight Prayer – Lord, You have firmly planted me in a place of refuge. I am blessed to have your strength to help me in my troubled times. You guide my steps, and keep me from falling, even when I don’t know that you are there. My praise and adoration can’t be long enough nor loud enough to express my gratitude for your love.
