If you take anything away from this little book, it should be the grateful rearview mirror version of a life (to date) spent searching for the rich gems our wonderful God has to share with us all.

Forward

Doodlebug wasn't always Doodlebug to me. Judy was and is the most precious person I know. I still love to sit and watch her do "her thing." She actually is more beautiful today than the night I first saw her. They say dynamite comes in small packages; so does nitroglycerin. Actually, when we had been married a couple of years, we had horses and someone in that setting called her Doodlebug, and it stuck. It "fit."

Along with others, I often wonder how this little bitty thing can do all that she does and do it all so well. There is an inner reservoir from which she draws, and this wonderful apprehension of who God is comes spilling out of her. I watch her genuinely love on her students as God loves them; I watch her share the Word with a passion not often displayed in the class or the pulpit. Judy just shares that passion in or out of the classroom. There is no arrogance there, just a certainty and wealth of study that is profound. And yet, Judy leaves room for others to hold another opinion -- and often will provide them with Scriptures which defend their position.

It is said that Judy suffers from the malady of Myopia. One would be hard-pressed to find anyone else as focused, but that is the rare attribute which drives her. Dr. Doodlebug (as she is sometimes called) searches for God with all her tenacity, strength, and passion. No wonder God presses into her the truths and gems she shares, and He breathes on her this exquisite fragrance (of the knowledge of Him).

Judy is the real deal who doesn't solicit or even go looking for prophetic direction. She is impelled to do whatever her hand finds to do. She does it with all her might! If you take anything away from this little book, it should be the grateful rearview mirror version of a life (to date) spent searching for the rich gems our wonderful God has to share with us all. Doodlebug truly is a term of endearment, isn't it.
