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

Corrie Ten Boom

March 17, 2020May 3, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 1 Comment

Corrie Ten Boom. Not many people have heard of this great woman. This strong and selfless woman. This beautiful God-fearing, people loving woman. Corrie lived in Amsterdam in the house of her father when she was middle aged, no children and no husband. she worked with her father as a watchmaker out of their home. … Continue reading Corrie Ten Boom

My Loudest Voice

March 17, 2020May 1, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 1 Comment

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

Back in the Saddle…

February 10, 2019April 30, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Oh those words. I have such a bitter sweet feeling when the spin instructor says that. because riding the bike from the saddle is just harder and it burns. As hard as it is,  what I realize when I'm pushing the limits of physical endurance is this:  I am thirsty.  I drink a lot of … Continue reading Back in the Saddle…

A Coming of Age Story |  Kim Blenkhorn 

A Coming of Age Story |  Kim Blenkhorn 

Chris was my first love. I was 6. Our relationship was innocent, hauntingly delicate and charming in its own way. His mother married my father. I was a visitor on the weekends and he was a full time resident. He was my first kiss,  In the basement under the watchful eyes of three curious older […]

Revealed – Part II | I Samuel 16

Revealed –  Part II | I Samuel 16

God chooses a King after his own Heart. David is revealed.  Saul’s character is fully matured. Saul is Revealed.  David is the anointed king in the midst of his brothers. This small detail is significant. David is a type of Messiah, being the predecessor to Jesus, as the Son of David. The scene is dramatic. […]

The  Room of Important Things 

The  Room of Important Things 

That room containing all the versions of myself in fragments of stuff sits there untouched week after week. Silent, waiting. looming over me like a giant to do list that I can never complete. How do I organize it, I asked ChatGBT. ” you don’t have an organization problem you have a decision problem.” it flaunted.

Revealed – Part 1 | 1 Samuel 16

Revealed – Part 1 | 1 Samuel 16

Samuel grieves. He fears. He makes assumptions. Samuel is profoundly human. Yes, even Samuel the prophet the man whose words never fell to the ground- what a relief.  I want to sit with Samuel for a moment because it’s easy to forget that the great heroes of Scripture were not immune to disappointment or even […]

1 Samuel 15 | Called and Tested 

1 Samuel 15 | Called and Tested 

God’s initial call often aligns with a person’s natural abilities or desires (what they can and want to do). Over time he tests not their ability but their heart. The test reveals the heart by demanding surrender in the very area where self-will is strongest. This test works to deepen relationship and intimacy with God. […]

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
