We Must Be The Church During These Divisive Times

Last updated on: September 24, 2024 at 4:48 pm By Kathy King

“Being a good neighbor is an art that makes life richer.” Gladys Taber Just about everyone that I speak to these days feels such a burden not just for this country, but the entire world. They say things like, “I don’t know how much longer we can go on like this.” Other times I’ve heard people express hatred and vitriol towards a certain person or political party. In some cases, even wishing harm on those that disagree. I cannot... Read more

A Host of Angels. What Do They Have To Do With Us?

Last updated on: September 20, 2024 at 9:59 pm By Kathy King

Do not neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests. Hebrews 13:2 Picture this, 1989, I was a little one sitting in church. Mom had warned me that I needed to be quiet during church because we were worshiping God. We had a little orchestra, organ player and a beautiful grand piano. We started singing Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty. One verse struck me as... Read more

Perhaps It’s Time To Get Serious About Prayer

Last updated on: September 18, 2024 at 4:30 pm By Kathy King

“I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn’t change God. It changes me.” C.S. Lewis My day was indeed in need of prayer Today is the day my son left for deployment. As you can imagine, I gave him a hug and I cried a lot. I am crying as I write this. I told him that I would...

No Matter Who The Next President Is Jesus Is Still King

Last updated on: November 5, 2024 at 11:00 pm By Kathy King

God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.” C.S. Lewis Yesterday I had a very interesting conversation with someone. They were absolutely worried about the presidential election that is going on here in the US. To be honest, I was as well. Almost to the point that I was losing sleep over it. My worry is mainly for the myriad of soldiers in my family. This week, I... Read more

God Wants Us To Get To Know Him

Last updated on: September 13, 2024 at 4:52 pm By Kathy King

“There’s a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. When you truly know God, you have energy to serve Him, boldness to share Him, and contentment in Him.” J.I. Packer God wants us to get to know him A few days ago I wrote about the possibility of a great awakening. Traveling along that same vein, I wanted to talk about knowing God. As a child, I felt that God was this distant entity that you could never... Read more

Is It Time For Another Great Awakening?

Last updated on: January 30, 2025 at 9:44 pm By Kathy King

“No Great Spiritual Awakening has not begun anywhere in the world apart from united prayer.” Edwin Orr Is It Time For a Great Awakening? I wrote this musing right after the debates, before we knew who the next president would be. Some people were quite upset by the outcome, others were truly glad. One common theme I hear over and over in Christian circles is sadly, hatred. I’ve seen posts comparing the newest president to Hitler. Have you heard of... Read more

Politics. It’s Exhausting and Filled With Hope.

Last updated on: September 11, 2024 at 1:31 pm By Kathy King

“God isn’t asking you to figure it out. He’s asking that you trust that He already has.” Unknown Tonight, there is a pretty big debate that is going to happen. Of course, I am praying as God commands us to do for our country and the world. I am going to try and remain a-political in this post. You are probably thinking, “How can she do that?” Well, maybe I can’t, but I am certainly going to try. Once again,... Read more

Blue Willow Life Lessons

“All great change starts at the dinner table.” Ronald Reagan Today we had a big gathering Today we had a gathering at our house to allow others a chance to say goodbye to our son who is about to deploy. I asked my son what he would like to eat, so naturally he chose one of his favorite dishes at our house.

Three Fierce Women In The Bible A Prophet, Queen and Judge

Last updated on: May 24, 2025 at 8:10 pm By Kathy King

Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 I’ve been spending a little time studying the women in the Bible. They sometimes stepped in a sea of men and helped lead the charge of faith. Who were they? What did they bring to the table? How was it even possible for them to forge ahead in a position of faith and leadership in a male dominated culture? I can... Read more
