What a beautiful morning to take a walk. The temperature is 75 degrees, and it is a sunny day. How have you been? We need to ask that question of each other because so many people feel, as my son said to me, “These are bleak times, Dad.” Did you ever read the novel by … Continue reading “Bleak Times” Can Lead To Sunshine | Walk With Ken Boyle – June 16, 2020

What’s Behind Your Mask? | Walk With Ken Boyle – May 23, 2020
At night on the third floor of our home in Melrose, I would listen to my radio. In my family, you were fortunate if you had your very own radio – I was fortunate. One of my favorite programs was “that masked man.” Who was that masked man that spoke, “Hi Ho, Silver Away?” That … Continue reading What’s Behind Your Mask? | Walk With Ken Boyle – May 23, 2020
Laundry | Walk With Ken Boyle – May 16, 2020
Two weeks ago, on our walk, I told you that I would talk about laundry. Now that is a strange subject for a pastor to speak about, but it is one of my responsibilities in my retirement. Dale does not like to do laundry, and I do not like to cook. I’ve often said that one of the things … Continue reading Laundry | Walk With Ken Boyle – May 16, 2020

Showing Love In A Difficult Time | Walk With Ken Boyle – April 25, 2020
Good morning. How are you this morning? We live in a strange new world, don’t we? After spending my life as a child, young person and adult surrounded by people, now to be separate from those you care for and love is certainly difficult. When I began my college years, I started to question the … Continue reading Showing Love In A Difficult Time | Walk With Ken Boyle – April 25, 2020

Candleberry Chapel in Attleboro, Massachusetts has a new pastor named Warren Manigault III.

Bosh | Walk With Ken Boyle – April 8, 2020
It is afternoon – one thirty- and the day is Good Friday. If we go by tradition, Jesus would have been upon his cross for an hour and a half. He will live for just another hour and a half. We will not go on our walk today; we will just sit quietly in my … Continue reading Bosh | Walk With Ken Boyle – April 8, 2020
