Sexual Sin Weakens Faith

December 14, 2020December 17, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Judges 16 I have read the account of Samson and Delilah many times, it is a sad tragedy of a mighty man losing his strength to deceptive beauty and a lover who betrayed him. Its so perplexing and incites many questions in my heart every time I revisit this particular story. Such as why was … Continue reading Sexual Sin Weakens Faith

Humanity’s Holy Thirst

December 11, 2020December 12, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Photo by Julia Volk on Pexels.com Does God need to be reminded that human’s thirst? This seems like such a silly question, and yet its valid because over and over again we see desperate people petitioning an omniscient God. Is the human need of thirst more important or apparent to our dehydrated lips and sunbaked … Continue reading Humanity’s Holy Thirst

Final Feast

December 3, 2020February 25, 2026 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Oh the mighty hand of God I never can resist, The compelling voice of Christ my King, Seldom ceases to bring me rest, His all consuming fiery love Convincing my heart to beat, His pure untainted words of life Penetrate each time we meet, Oh the seeing eyes of God That fix upon my state … Continue reading Final Feast

The ache of lonely

December 3, 2020December 3, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 3 Comments

Luke 10:38-42 It was Martha who welcomed Jesus into her home. ‘Lord do you not care …my sister has left me to serve alone…’ I hear loneliness in Martha’s plea to the Lord. Typically, this verse is interpreted to juxtapose busy preparations with quiet learning to teach a lesson about work with faith. however, when … Continue reading The ache of lonely

Thoughts on Thanksgiving

November 24, 2020November 23, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Thanksgiving begins in the heart not at the table. For all of us this year thanksgiving looks different. But when I read from chronicles this slightly overused but true verse, give thanks to the lord for he is good. I realize we are not instructed to give thanks for our good things, but for HE … Continue reading Thoughts on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving a Heart Condition

November 24, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Thanksgiving begins in the heart not at the table. Thanksgiving looks different in 2020. Chronicles offers us a slightly overused but true verse, GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD. God’s word never ceases to reveal new thoughts to my thirsty spirit even the overused verses when we seek, we shall find. As … Continue reading Thanksgiving a Heart Condition

Made Alive

November 21, 2020November 22, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 1 Comment

I woke up at 4:00 a.m. this morning and turned to Ephesians 2. "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the [a]course of this world." It's a truth I need to hear.  10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that … Continue reading Made Alive

Sacred Visit

October 28, 2020November 1, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Who Gideon is or is not disappears beneath the torrent of who God says he is, above and beyond every status, label and brand of person we could think of or relate to; Gideon is a valiant warrior because God calls him that.

Jack Brewer

September 23, 2020May 2, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Jack Brewer taught me that there comes a time “when we must prioritize policy over personality.” I first saw him speak at the republican national convention. Jack brewer might not be the mother Theresa, but who is, Jesus said about those who point out others sins, let him throw the first stone who has no … Continue reading Jack Brewer

1 Samuel 2:1–11 — Actions Are Weighed

1 Samuel 2:1–11 — Actions Are Weighed

So much is happening in Hannah’s song. It is more than simple gratitude for God giving her a child. In fact, we see no direct mention of, “the child.” Instead, we see the language consistent with victory—victory over her enemy, over her hardship. Peninnah’s name is often understood to relate to “face” or “pearl,” and […]

Bitter of Soul – I Samuel 1:1–11

Bitter of Soul – I Samuel 1:1–11

“The Lord had closed Hannah’s womb.” Her barrenness was not accidental. Year after year she was provoked by Peninnah, her rival. She wept. She would not eat. She was deeply distressed and bitter in soul. How many times have I been warned about bitterness taking root in my heart — only to sink deeper into […]

The Opal Ring

The Opal Ring

In middle school, I was assigned to write a short story. I must have mentioned it to my dad. I remember him leading me into his bedroom — the room that was always locked, always shut. It felt forbidden. There was a bathroom no one was allowed to use, a secret closet with, a door […]

ADHD and Neurodiversity: A Different Way of Thinking About Differences

ADHD and Neurodiversity: A Different Way of Thinking About Differences

Perhaps my children and family members don’t understand my need to write.  When we argue, I send long text threads — pages of information, systematic logic, emotion carefully laid out in paragraphs. When my son was pledging a fraternity, I texted him daily with my fears and concerns. One day he replied,“Mom, it’s overwhelming and […]

Everything That Was Written — Luke 24

Everything That Was Written — Luke 24

Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 24:44 We come to the very end of Luke’s account of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Luke was […]
