Send Some love

June 23, 2020June 23, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Dear friend, Send someone you are thinking about a card. It doesn’t have to be complicated, keep it simple and send it out. There are ways other than screens to keep in touch with the people who mean a lot to us. God was the very first Writer and he sent words to man from … Continue reading Send Some love

What is Good?

June 19, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Photo by Lukas on Pexels.com If God is all powerful and all good why does he allow people to suffer? Pain and suffering doesn’t prove there is no God or that God is not powerful and good,  it only proves that God allows painful things to happen.  The question here is what is good? God the … Continue reading What is Good?

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

King , Judge and Mediator | 1 Samuel 8 | Kim Blenkhorn 

Israel asked for a king like all the other nations—for three reasons they said: to judge them, to go before them, and to fight their battles. The Judge They wanted someone to uphold justice and teach truth. someone who was an expert in the law of God—like Moses—who could punish the wicked and pardon the […]

The Insecure King | I Samuel 9

The Insecure King | I Samuel 9

We learn a lot about Saul in chapter 9—some clues about who he is, and subtle foreshadowing of what sort of leader he will become. Saul’s hidden insecurities are not neutral traits; they look for protection—either through control and anxiety, or through performance and pride and both exist in Saul at the same time in […]

The Mind Wanders | Kim Blenkhorn 

The Mind Wanders | Kim Blenkhorn 

For someone with ADHD having to conform to what works for the average neurotypical brain can feel frustrating and excruciating. When my body is still, my mind tends to wander aimlessly. If I am asked to sit quietly in church, be still, and simply listen, I often struggle to focus— My leg starts going, I […]

Return | 1 Samuel 6–7

Return | 1 Samuel 6–7

What should have been a day of celebration turns into tragedy—the ark is returned to Israel but God strikes down fifty thousand of His own people at Beth Shemesh. Israel now seems caught on both sides: enemies on one side, God’s judgment on the other.  Why would God strike His own people? And why are […]

1 Samuel 4 | The Battle Is the Lord’s

1 Samuel 4 | The Battle Is the Lord’s

Israel goes into battle against the Philistines—and they are defeated. Their first fatal flaw is revealed in a single question:“Why has the Lord defeated us today?” Within that question is a overwhelming truth—Israel sees God as an enemy fighting against them, rather than a Savior who loves them. It echoes the accusations of the Hebrews […]
