“The sun that brief December day rose cheerless over hills of gray,And darkly circled gave at noon a sadder light than waning moon.”The poet Whittier goes on to say in the midst of that snowstorm-“So, all night long the storm roared on; the morning broke without a sun;”“What matter how the night behaved? What matter … Continue reading Christmas 2020 | Walk With Ken Boyle – December 20, 2020

Thanksgiving | Walk With Ken Boyle – November 22, 2020
I’m so sorry I have not walked with you for a time for I have missed our walks together. My oldest brother told me how busy he was after he retired, and I questioned that would happen when I retired. I was wrong. Part of it is because I do not have the stamina I … Continue reading Thanksgiving | Walk With Ken Boyle – November 22, 2020
Windows | Walk With Ken Boyle – January 28, 2020
It is a cloudy noontime here in Hopkinton. The temperature is thirty- four degrees. My friend Molly is not under my desk as she is at daycare. I miss her on Tuesdays and Fridays as I take her to Peace and Paws to play with her friends, Max, Ellie-Rose, Spryte and Jerome. No matter where … Continue reading Windows | Walk With Ken Boyle – January 28, 2020
Christmas Letter 2019 – Walk With Ken Boyle XCI
How memories come alive at Christmas time. One of my favorite pastimes this time of year is to listen to old time radio. As a family, when I was growing up, we would listen on Sunday evenings to the Jack Benny Show and The Great Gildersleeve. After all, we did not have television as children and to … Continue reading Christmas Letter 2019 – Walk With Ken Boyle XCI
Marriage: Being a Team – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXV
Comment From Ken: Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and Dale and I wish you a Happy New Year. Scripture: Mark 1:14 -21 14Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15and saying “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” 16And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 17Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” 18They immediately left their nets and followed Him. 19When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. 20And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him. 21Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. 22And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. I was so hoping you would join me for our walk this morning … Continue reading Marriage: Being a Team – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXV
Laughter and Patience at Christmastime – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXIV
Comment from Ken: When we start our walk I never know what will be said; maybe tonight there’s too much. I don’t think so – any way, you always have a right to comment back. Scripture: Luke 2: 1 – 7. 1And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from … Continue reading Laughter and Patience at Christmastime – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXIV
Traditions – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXIII
Comment from Ken: Just something to think about before Christmas. Scripture: Mark 2: 23 - 27 23Now it happened that He went through the grain fields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain. 24And the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why do they do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?” 25But He said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him: 26how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread, which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave some to those who were with him?” 27And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 28Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.” Good morning. I am so happy you can join me for a walk together. I’m sitting here at the Welcome Room table. Let me explain. … Continue reading Traditions – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXIII

Comment from Ken : This was one of the hymns we ALL sang at Hebron regardless of our faith. When you take this walk forget the part about what to do during a boring church service!!!!! O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, … Continue reading Hymns – Walk With Ken Boyle LXX
Christmas Decorations – Walk With Ken Boyle LV
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
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
