Comment by Ken: I know many take their Christmas trees down on New Years Day, but not Dale and me. Although it wasn’t put up until Christmas Eve, my mother loved her Christmas tree so much that one year our postman said to my mom, “Mrs. Boyle, your Christmas tree is still up, and it … Continue reading Christmas Decorations – Walk With Ken Boyle LV

Unkind Words – Walk With Ken Boyle LIV
Comment from Ken: All of us are God’s children. The passage of scripture for our walk applies to adults as well as children. Scripture: Matthew 8: 33 - 37 33Then He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?” 34But they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest. 35And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.” 36Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, 37“Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.” It has almost felt like spring this day, Monday, of our New Year. The temperature actually … Continue reading Unkind Words – Walk With Ken Boyle LIV
A New Year’s Walk
Comment from Ken: I was invited to preach at First Congregational Church in Hopkinton, New Hampshire by its pastor Gordon Crouch on the Sunday of New Years Eve. This was the sermon’s rough draft that I delivered last Sunday morning. It is a rough draft so there are errors in grammar etc. Also when preaching … Continue reading A New Year’s Walk
Christmas Letter 2017
To all couples, but especially to the couples I have married over my ministry of fifty- seven years. As most of you are aware, a year ago this last November the time came for me to retire from the active ministry because of my health. This was a most difficult decision, but now a year … Continue reading Christmas Letter 2017
Silas and Molly – Christmas Story 2017
Comment from Ken: Each year for over twenty- five years I have written a Christmas Story for the adults and children of the church instead of a sermon, to be delivered on Christmas Sunday or Christmas Eve. I wished to continue that practice this year so here is a new Christmas Story. I use the … Continue reading Silas and Molly – Christmas Story 2017

The Gift of Mothers – Walk With Ken Boyle LI
Comment from Ken: Forgive a sentimental pastor as we walk today. Scripture: 15So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” … Continue reading The Gift of Mothers – Walk With Ken Boyle LI
Shepherds and Sheep – Walk With Ken Boyle L
Comment from Ken Sorry I was late for this walk. Thanksgiving was a busy wonderful day, and I fell behind on my schedule. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and hope that you did as well. Scripture: 11“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 15As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. 16And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd.” I’m not about to walk with you today … Continue reading Shepherds and Sheep – Walk With Ken Boyle L

Appreciating our Differences – Walk With Ken Boyle XLVIII
Scripture: Psalm 23 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. It is too late for a walk now that the time has changed. It is five ‘clock and it is quite dark outside. Guess you will have to join me here by the stove in the living room. … Continue reading Appreciating our Differences – Walk With Ken Boyle XLVIII
