I know what it’s like

March 5, 2018May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

I know what it's like to feel like you have no purpose, like you don't count in the world. I know what's its like to feel like you make no contribution big enough to be truly missed, if something were to happen to you. I know what its like to feel bored with life, to … Continue reading I know what it’s like

With the Mourning

February 16, 2018May 5, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

God asks his servants to do hard things, to live difficult lives, sometimes experience pain and heartache, he asks us to swim through affliction. We all know this as Christians. He uses these things to change us, like a carving knife changes a sculpture. But what we sometimes forget is that God often brings us … Continue reading With the Mourning

On Saying Goodbye

June 25, 2015April 30, 2024 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ 2 Comments

There are countless hard things in life.  Death and burial, divorce and betrayal, moving out and moving on, are just a few that come to my mind. Anything that happens to us or near us, that forces us to say goodbye, can be difficult.  In these challenging moments, let’s face it, we want to disappear … Continue reading On Saying Goodbye

Memory Work

May 10, 2015May 28, 2020 ~ Kim Blenkhorn ~ Leave a comment

Sometimes the best way to retrieve memories is to tiptoe through the past, get what you need and then run like hell. Sometimes there are seasons of safety when growth helps you build a tent among the forgotten pieces of the past and get the work done. Unfortunately memories can be like shrapnel embedded deeply … Continue reading Memory Work

Go Your Way

Go Your Way

Jesus is walking the borderlands—the space between Samaria and Galilee—when ten men appear. They do not approach. They cannot. They stand at a distance, bodies marked, voices raised, shouting the only prayer they have left:“Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” The village is unnamed, but it does not need a name. It may have been […]

The Rich Man and Lazarus 

The Rich Man and Lazarus 

The rich man and Lazarus is about compassion, mercy, the afterlife, reaping and sowing, wealth and repentance.  The rich man was not able to secure a place in heaven through his ancestry or his wealth. The Pharisees were known for their love of money, pride, and status. Jesus draws a direct comparison between the rich […]

The Mulberry Tree Parable (Luke 17)

The Mulberry Tree Parable (Luke 17)

Jesus begins with a severe warning: “Woe to the one who causes others to stumble. It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and be thrown into the sea.” He immediately follows with a demanding command: “If your brother sins, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him.” At first […]

The Prodigal: A Story for the Religious

The Prodigal: A Story for the Religious

The parable of the prodigal son has been retold countless times, often as a story about wayward sinners returning to God. But in its original context, it is primarily a message to the Pharisees and religious leaders—a challenge to their understanding of devotion, righteousness, and compassion. Jesus tells a series of parables in succession (Luke […]

The Synagogue Official 

The Synagogue Official 

In Luke 13:10 Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath day and healed a woman. A synagogue during the time of Jesus was a place of worship, torah reading, prayer and community life. These houses of worship were not the Temple where sacrifices were made instead they were like houses which […]
