Today is January 15, 2020. This pastor is still trying to accept that the year is truly 2020. Do you remember how some people were concerned when the date was December 31, 1999? Some felt a great cosmic happening would take place, and here we are twenty years beyond that date, and … Continue reading Little House on the Prairie | Walk With Ken Boyle – January 15, 2020

Haircut | Walk With Ken Boyle – January 7, 2020
Dale left our home this morning to go to a hair salon. She enjoys having her hair done and looks forward to her scheduled appointment. Before she left home, I did not tell her that I planned to have my hair cut after I dropped our dog, Molly, off at daycare. Molly goes to day … Continue reading Haircut | Walk With Ken Boyle – January 7, 2020
Uncle Joe | Walk With Ken Boyle, January 2, 2020
It has been too long since we went on a walk together, but in this New Year, I hope to walk with you each and every week. I’ve missed walking with you, but it seems that life just caught up with me and my schedule; although retired, it has been more complicated than I thought … Continue reading Uncle Joe | Walk With Ken Boyle, January 2, 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
Saint Patrick’s Day – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXVIII
Good morning. It is nice to have you visit with me on this snowy Sunday. I know I have not walked with you for a while, and it is just that even though I am retired, I do not seem to have enough time to do all the things I wish. Now that I am … Continue reading Saint Patrick’s Day – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXVIII
A Warm Fire – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXVI
Comment from Ken: I wish you time to sit by a warm fire and tell stories from the past. Scripture: 7Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea. 8But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. 9Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. 10Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.” 11Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. 12Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord. 13Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. 14This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead. Good evening. It is a little late for a walk, but when I walked … Continue reading A Warm Fire – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXVI
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
No One Can Server Two Masters – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXI
Comment from Ken: If my story on this walk is rather confusing - it was a little confusing to write. Forgive! Scripture: Matthew 6: 24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal the one and despise the other. You … Continue reading No One Can Server Two Masters – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXI
