Rediscovering Messiah

March 28, 2017May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

Messiah is the central message of God, the center of creation, the why and how of the universe from the beginning until the end. He gives all creation purpose, his word cleanses, his light reveals, his spirit seeks and his identity saves and empowers all who know him. Rabbi Levi ben Gershon (RALBAG), of the … Continue reading Rediscovering Messiah

the beginning of Love

January 26, 2017March 9, 2018 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

There’s a part of me that believes, if I do something big for God, he will love me, he will value me more, he will pat me on the back and say, “good girl, faithful servant.  I desire my heavenly Father to love me.  God designed mankind with a desire to be loved, cherished and … Continue reading the beginning of Love

breaking the glass

January 7, 2017May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

I made the centerpieces myself, an apartment was prepared, plans finalized, my dress hung ready with matching satin shoes, like the ones I saw in my mother’s wedding album. I remember sitting in her closet while inspecting the forgotten images; images that appeared stained with time and tears, outdated and lost; images that were part … Continue reading breaking the glass

The festival of victories

December 22, 2016May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

A historically documented miracle. God fighting on behalf of his people. We must remember this. Those who trust in The Most High God must remember his victories among his called out ones. A small shepherd army defeating a trained multitude of armed soldiers. Soldiers hungry for blood and power. God proved himself strong on behalf … Continue reading The festival of victories

Bridled Horses

December 20, 2016May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Writing for me is a necessity. Each day I must engage in the process of writing in order to yoke my thoughts, tire my intuitions , gather up all my loose ends and ride the powerful insights to purpose and production. If i let my thoughts go without taming them i risk injury. When I … Continue reading Bridled Horses

God of Salvation

December 14, 2016May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

But, my heart shall rejoice in Thy Salvation. Psalms 13 Pastor Pete awakened our hearts to the reality of God outside of time in last week’s sermon. I thought of this as I read Psalms 13 this morning. God is also outside the doors of humanity, earth, sin, enslavement, affliction, fear, death and oppression. Since … Continue reading God of Salvation

God’s Coming to Connect

December 12, 2016May 1, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I realized that those having life in them desire life beside them. Life attracts life.

a Christmas Carol according to Christ

December 10, 2016May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I will live in the past, present and future Ebenezer Scrooge promises.     Let the life behind you and the life beyond you effect the life within you and you will live with wisdom, knowledge and grace. Open your arms wide with one hand reaching towards yesterday and the other toward tomorrow, and time … Continue reading a Christmas Carol according to Christ

complacency

December 10, 2016May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

  What I want the most is consistently bullied by what is necessary to get there. The two are in a constant battle over my life plans. I always find myself sheltering the victim mentality of desire and together we flee from the bully, hard work. I'm not sure why I never seem to reach … Continue reading complacency

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
