Each One is to Be Holy to his God

May 11, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Parsha Emor - “speak” Leviticus 21-24  The main idea of the portion EMOR, is holiness and purity, the purity and holiness of priests, days and offerings. The concept of holiness is revealed through repetition. For example: God is speaking to Moses and instructing Moses to speak to Aaron, who is then to tell  the children … Continue reading Each One is to Be Holy to his God

Parenting Teenagers

May 8, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I know how God Feels about his children when I look at mine, all the Love and all the frustration Divine. I’m tired of trying to get ungrateful and unredeemed children to obey my rules all day I know how God felt I’m tired of emptying myself to give them what they need, and getting … Continue reading Parenting Teenagers

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

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

Pray for our nations leaders!

May 1, 2020May 2, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

One thing I’m reminded of these days is that I’m not responsible for outcomes. I will be accountable to God for what I did with his instructions. Regardless of the outcome I may or may not want. God is watching over his word to perform it and God is responsible for the outcome. I know … Continue reading Pray for our nations leaders!

Deep Roots | Kim Blenkhorn 

Deep Roots | Kim Blenkhorn 

How fragile is my relationship with God? Today I was reading about plants. I typed into Google, “What happens to a 40-year-old plant?” I thought that if I could understand how plants grow, maybe I could understand something about my own spiritual state of existence. After all, are humans not living things? Are we not, […]

Appetite and Allegiance | I Samuel 2:12-36

Appetite and Allegiance | I Samuel 2:12-36

“The sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the Lord.” The purpose of the semicolon here is to hold together both the cause and the judgment.The cause: they did not know God.The judgment: they were worthless men. These two ideas are closely linked. Our relationship with the Lord determines much about who […]

Actions Are Weighed | 1 Samuel 2:1–11

Actions Are Weighed | 1 Samuel 2:1–11

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 […]

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
