10 Life lessons from my pencil

March 30, 2020May 1, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

What drawing people has taught me Lesson 1: Don’t underestimate the power of a tool. The tools I use are important in creating. Tools are extensions for peoples hands. When my hands and fingers aren't able to change an outcome, I need a tool. Tools produce change. I want to learn what the right tools … Continue reading 10 Life lessons from my pencil

How Will Corona Effect You?

March 26, 2020May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 4 Comments

This virus which causes us to cover our faces, and hide in our rooms seems a little bi-polar to me. It's  providing the world right now, with both the antagonist and protagonist of the story, the hero in some ways and the villain in other ways. I suppose it depends on who you speak to? … Continue reading How Will Corona Effect You?

Tom Brady

March 20, 2020May 3, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I want to thank Tom Brady for giving us something to read in the news  yesterday besides Coronovirus, something to talk about, to grieve, to get excited about, I have to say he announced this at just the right moment when America is in a state of shock over the increasing numbers of sick people, … Continue reading Tom Brady

My voice is my pictures, spoken with my pencil, my ideas , thoughts and beliefs spilling wildly over my paper, creating and forming and bringing something, and more often someone  back to life.

When Christians are too “others-centered”

September 6, 2019May 6, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

  Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others. Philippians 2:3-4 This is a beautiful sermon Paul wrote on God's instruction from Leviticus, to Love your neighbor as … Continue reading When Christians are too “others-centered”

I am not in control of My teens journey towards God.

September 5, 2019May 8, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Yesterday was the first day of 24 days of my prayer challenge. The focus was on praying for my teens honesty. I started the prayer with my own honesty with God.  I have been struggling to pray this summer. I was honest about my feelings, my anger and my fear and that honesty, I came … Continue reading I am not in control of My teens journey towards God.

saying goodbye to summer

September 3, 2019April 30, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Letting go of your kids Today with millions (maybe thousands) of other parents across new England , I sent my two teenagers off to the first day of school, although I didn't really send them, they just go now. And I exhaled. Many years ago I would be anxious sending them off, now I rest. … Continue reading saying goodbye to summer

The Problem with Pride

February 26, 2019May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

His father never crossed him. David didn’t discipline his son Adonijah. Adonijah, was never held accountable, nor was he ever told, “no”. this could be in direct proportion to being King, or it could be in general. Either way Adonijah’s self-importance was permitted to grow unhindered. The hard skin around his heart remained untrimmed, and … Continue reading The Problem with Pride

Can I feed the birds

Can I feed the birds

If I can learn to feed the birds  Then I can be ok Then I can learn to care for others  In kind and caring ways Then I can learn to look beyond  my pain and all my need To see the rest, despite how small  And set aside my greed If I can walk […]
