is there any value to failure

January 8, 2021January 8, 2021 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

One time I heard a varsity volleyball coach tell a group of girls before tryouts, that he would "put them in positions where they could not succeed in order to see how they would respond." that has always stuck with me in particular when I am failing. It is good to remember that failure doesn't … Continue reading is there any value to failure

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

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

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

My Burka

June 24, 2020June 26, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I wonder if each and every one of us has a version of a burka in life? The thing that we put on before going outside that keeps us hidden and obscure from the world. I saw a woman today getting out of the passenger side of a small SUV. She had on a burka-like … Continue reading My Burka

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

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

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

The Green Tree – Luke 23:31

The Green Tree – Luke 23:31

It’s a dramatic moment. Jesus is walking the road to Golgotha—the place where he will breathe his last breath. He has been passed between rulers, mocked, beaten, spit on, and mistreated. Yet beneath the physical suffering lies a deeper sorrow: rejection by his own people. Though this suffering was part of God’s redemptive plan, though […]

What is ADHD?

What is ADHD?

I’m hesitant to write this because there is already so much information available at the push of a button. But to begin properly, I need some sense of order and definition—even if only for myself. A good place to start is with a, general understanding of what ADHD actually is. This is what I know […]

Hate Him First – Luke 23

Hate Him First –  Luke 23

Growing up I had a German shepherd named Casey. My dad bought her to protect us after he and my mom divorced; I was about five, I needed Casey. I would crawl inside her cage and lie down beside her, stroking her coarse black back and rubbing her soft brown ears. She followed me to […]

Faith on Trial- Luke 22:30–32

Faith on Trial- Luke 22:30–32

The setting is the Last Supper. Jesus stands on the brink of the greatest trial of His earthly and divine life—His death. In this final, intimate moment with His disciples, He offers a promise: “You will eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” […]

Madman or Mystery- Luke 21

Madman or Mystery- Luke 21

Many people have turned away from the Bible—and from Jesus—because they read it and conclude there are too many contradictions. Too many moments where Jesus appears to say opposing things or gives commands that sit on two ends of the spectrum. Where is the consistency in his messages? That is when Christ feels mysterious, even […]
