Last updated on: May 10, 2024 at 3:29 pm By Kathy King

Was The Woman At The Well The First Evangelist?

Last updated on: May 6, 2024 at 10:07 pm By Kathy King

Jesus Traveled Where Some Dare Not Travel Picture if you will Jesus, traveling purposefully into Samaria to meet someone. In his time, it was unheard of for a Jew to travel through Samaria. Much like the Metro Atlanta, Georgia area, there is a straight shot through Atlanta traveling I-75 South. If you are a local person, the thought of driving through downtown brings a collective sigh. It’s crowded, it’s confusing to those who aren’t locals, and it’s just a mess.... Read more

Will Others Know We Are Christians By Our Love?

Last updated on: July 24, 2024 at 4:57 pm By Kathy King

Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.” Anne Lamott As a church pianist, I prepare music each week for the Sunday service. This week as I thumbed through the hymnal to find a piece to arrange, a particular song caught my eye. It is a piece that is in a minor (sad sounding) key. I had not heard it sung in quite some time. The name of the... Read more

2 Funerals and a Pianist. Do We Need a Community?

Last updated on: April 29, 2024 at 12:34 am By Kathy King

The Gift of Your Six “It takes 6-8 pallbearers to lift you up when you’re deceased. Imagine what you can accomplish if you had 6-8 people lifting you up while you are living.” Unknown Where is Your Community? Today I was both the singer and accompanist for a funeral of a member of my church. Funerals in general are not really the most pleasant of occasions to be sure.

What is the bread in your life? What’s in Your Recipe?

Last updated on: April 24, 2024 at 7:18 pm By Kathy King

“Love doesn’t sit there like a stone; it has to be made like bread, remade all the time, made new.” Ursula K. Le Guin Break bread together. A sign of peace. A slither of butter to give those taste buds sweet relief. Toast the bread, eat it warm, eat it cool with jam. What does bread represent? Bread represents every human. Bread is broken together in friendship and in strife. Bread sustains and nourishes. The bread can keep you... Read more

Last updated on: April 18, 2024 at 9:36 pm By Kathy King

If you have been a believer for a long time, you can probably say The Lord’s Prayer by heart. There are other passages that come to mind, John 3:16, Genesis 1:1 and most likely Psalm 23. You have probably read those passages for years and years. Another passage that immediately comes to mind is The Beatitudes. How many times have you read them? When Christ gave his sermon on the mount he gave us this beautiful soliloquy of scripture. My... Read more

The Gift of 86,400 Seconds “Imagine this: If you had $86,400 in an account and someone stole $10 from you, would you be upset and throw all of the remaining $86,390 away in hopes of getting back at the person who took your $10?

Jesus Wept. And So Can You.

Last updated on: April 11, 2024 at 4:22 pm By Kathy King

Jesus Wept. And So Can You. This evening my husband and I had the unfortunate occurrence of having to take a trip to the hospital. Easter had come, we celebrated at church, and we thought we would have a family filled Sunday afternoon. Obviously my husband’s body had other plans. As we made our hurried trip to the hospital the tears were threatening to spill over like a sink that is overflowing with water. The thoughts began to come, keep... Read more
