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

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

the feeder and the feed

May 12, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

The feeder and the feed the sower and the seed the fire and the wood the doer and the good the singer and the song the sinner and the wrong one without the two wouldn't be much use the unity of brothers makes the family stronger a man without his shoes makes the journey longer … Continue reading the feeder and the feed

Looking for Answers

May 4, 2020May 6, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

When you can't pray because of disappointment than praise is fitting. Learn from King David, who started many psalms with complaints and ended in total awe and submission to a Mighty God. With my head bowed and my lips sealed shut I just couldn't ask for one more thing. Maybe you cannot pray because you … Continue reading Looking for Answers

Bible studies together apart

May 3, 2020May 4, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

bible.com/app This is such a great tool to connect with others or even just one other in the word of God while in isolation. Even people in the same household that might feel more comfortable posting a comment rather then having a discussion. My daughter and I did one together each on our own phone. … Continue reading Bible studies together apart

The Shrill Loud Voice

The Shrill Loud Voice

Our new neighbors live across the river from us. Between our small cottage and their blue‑tarped shanty runs a long, crooked river that leads to a deep, beautiful lake in New England. It wraps nearly 270 degrees around our . rolling green hills, tall maples, and sun‑dappled grasses. “It looks like a park,” my oldest […]

The Road Jesus Chose — Luke 24

The Road Jesus Chose — Luke 24

In Luke 24, two disciples walked away from Jerusalem discussing the death of Jesus when the risen Christ joined them. These were men who had lived with Him, eaten with Him, and followed Him for three years—yet they did not recognize Him. Their eyes were kept from seeing who He was, and even His voice […]

Why the Women? – Luke 24:9-11

Why the Women? – Luke 24:9-11

“When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like […]

Expectation – ADHD Burnout

Expectation – ADHD Burnout

My nervous system is about to crack. I feel a deep, aching longing to be alone. Not in a dramatic way. Not to disappear.Just to hide away for a while.To close my door and lock it.To shut off my phone. I want to turn down the noise—the constant hum of to-do lists and shaming and […]

The Quicksand – ADHD Burnout

The Quicksand – ADHD Burnout

Okay. Let me try again.I can do this. That’s always how it starts. A breath in. A small resolve. The familiar tightening in my chest that says focus, try harder, get it together. For a moment, or a day, or a week…I believe it. I line things up in my head: the tasks, the expectations, […]

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
