Live Free or Die

June 18, 2020June 19, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Why are we still taking extreme precautions for a virus that we know 90% of the population is recovering from?  In a utopian society people would manage the world "perfectly". We don’t live in Utopia. At the end of every nonfictional day we go to bed flawed, imperfect and broken individuals. Humanity is capable of … Continue reading Live Free or Die

Sound Sensitive

For children the world can be a place of adventure or a place of fear and uncertainty, and most often a little of both.

Clothe Me in Eternity

June 12, 2020June 12, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

After a hard rain, the world around me seems greener, healthier, newer somehow. The most delicate spiderweb intact, the tiniest tomato plant upright, flower stems unbroken, leaves unfallen. , how does life hang on after such heaviness? I don't know. But it does, birds nests remain nestled loosely in tall branches without nails or glue. … Continue reading Clothe Me in Eternity

Our Father

June 11, 2020June 18, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I believe all peoples , from every nation are created in the image of One God therefore all are an equal reflection of that One God. “Hear o Israel the lord our God the lord is one.” It is only when we deny the one true God as Creator that we begin to lose sight … Continue reading Our Father

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela recognized in order to break the cycle of hate and anger, he had to become  better than those who behaved badly, not the same.

Five Blind Men and an Elephant

June 9, 2020May 2, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

The Blind Men and the Elephant is a famous Indian fable that tells the story of six blind sojourners that come across different parts of an elephant in their life journeys. In turn, each blind man creates his own version of reality from that limited experience and perspective.1 It was six men of Indostan, to … Continue reading Five Blind Men and an Elephant

No Perfect Parents

May 29, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

Our foxes hanging out under the bird feeder When something doesn't go well, I have a tendency to look back at all the things that I should have done, or could have done differently and beat myself up, but God keeps reminding me that no matter how well or imperfectly I parented He is in … Continue reading No Perfect Parents

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 […]

I am also a portrait artist. I draw portraits of people who I believe have been of great importance and value to humanity. To see more, my latest, as well as some of my paintings visit my website: kimblenkhorn.com
