In A World Of Screwtape Find Your Cricket Song

Last updated on: September 1, 2024 at 4:22 pm   By Kathy King

“If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph; The only proof he needed for existence of God was music.” Kurt Vonnegut  Have you ever heard of the Cricket Song? There is a reel that is making the rounds at the moment, it was popular a few years ago and kind of dropped out of sight. Today as I was scrolling, the video started to play. It was called: “Cricket Song.” There was a man who loved... Read more

A Podcast And A Review Of It Ends With Us

Last updated on: August 30, 2024 at 1:05 pm   By Kathy King

“The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.” Oscar Wilde   This is a different musing. I had seen a lot of reviews of the movie, “It Ends With Us.” I thought I would share my thoughts after reading the book.  I love to listen to differing podcasts Recently I was listening to Allie Beth Stuckey. Now, before you all say, “She’s really conservative!” In my defense, I listen to the spectrum of podcasters. I am not wedded... Read more

A Hymn, A Mentor, A Life Deposit And A Lesson In Faith

Last updated on: August 27, 2024 at 10:09 pm   By Kathy King

“Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark.” Rabindranath Tagore  I’ve been wrestling in my faith walk the last few days I’ve kind of been in a mood in the last few days. My son’s deployment is inching ever closer, I get in a surly mood and just stare at the ceiling. What can I do? What will I do when he leaves? Will he be okay? A year is a long time to... Read more

You’ve Just Got To Put One Foot In Front Of The Other

Last updated on: August 24, 2024 at 8:41 pm   By Kathy King

You have simply got to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on a plow right on.” George Lucas   Yesterday I was at the store, the assistant who was ringing up my groceries looked at me as they all do and said, “How are you today Ma’am?” It had been a day, I took a deep sigh and said, “I’m making it, a little slow but that is okay.” He stopped, looked me... Read more

The Conundrum of Trusting God. Is It That Hard?

Last updated on: August 20, 2024 at 9:33 pm   By Kathy King

“Faith in God presents a fascinating conundrum. So many of us have faith, but when doubt and unbelief creep in, our faith is the first thing to be compromised.” John Tesh I’ve found myself struggling to trust God As the week starts, I can’t help but take a moment and dwell on the state of the world. I am an American, I am glad that I am. I have children that serve in the US Military. I proudly support them.... Read more

A Sweater Is Like A Hug From The Lord

“A sweater is like life, you get nothing out of it that you don’t put into it.” Marilyn Monroe It’s Hot here right now! Today we woke up and our house was a soupy 69 degrees!  Summer is still giving us its humid and sweat inducing grip day in and day out. A couple of nights ago we had a hum dinger of a storm that knocked our power out for a good while. We brought out the candles and... Read more

Two Hymns A Day Keeps The Blessings Coming Your Way

Last updated on: August 16, 2024 at 2:20 pm   By Kathy King

“Music is well said to be the speech of angels.” – Thomas Carlyle Yesterday I wrote how a hymn a day can keep the spirit stayed. On the Subject of hymns… Do you have a song in your heart? The phrase coined by Shakespeare comes to mind.. But rather it was not coined by Shakespeare, was it? Music is well said to be the speech of angels. Well, if that is that case perhaps music should be a dwelling place, should... Read more

A Hymn A Day Can Keep The Spirit Stayed

Last updated on: August 15, 2024 at 12:57 pm   By Kathy King

“Hymns have been a powerful instrument of God to draw people closer to God’s word and the saving riches therein.” Billy Graham I have had hymns on my mind recently Today I opened my browser, I squinted my eyes, took a deep breath and read the news. I have regrets. I don’t think that we should ignore the world, but can we have one day of good news? I grow tired of politics, division, lies and puffy pieces to blow... Read more

Can We Have Another Jesus Revolution?

Last updated on: April 21, 2025 at 1:57 pm   By Kathy King

“You don’t need to clean up your life and come to God. You come to Christ and He will clean your life up.” Greg Laurie I finally got around to watching The Jesus Revolution I must admit, I am a bit late to the party, but yesterday I finally watched Jesus Revolution.

Are We Entertaining Angels Unaware?

Last updated on: August 30, 2024 at 3:57 pm   By Kathy King

“An angel can illuminate the thought and mind of a man by strengthening the power of vision.” St. Thomas Aquinas   There have been many shows dedicated to Angels over the years. Touched by an Angel, Highway to Heaven, Good Omens. The list could go on.  Today I was reading Hebrews, I had been toggling between Hebrews and Revelation. I parked on Hebrews 13:2: Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels... Read more
