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
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
Start with “Hello” – Walk With Ken Boyle XC
Comment from Ken; Spring is on its way. For the first time in my life, I saw an otter crossing the road. It was a black otter. At first, I thought it was injured, but it was just having a difficult time crossing the tar road. God’s creatures of the water and woods are seen … Continue reading Start with “Hello” – Walk With Ken Boyle XC

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

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
Veterans Day – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXII
Comment from Ken: A Thank You to all those who have faced danger and war to grant you and me a peaceful, free life in The United States. Scripture: The Beatitudes:“Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. I am sorry if you came earlier to walk with me, Molly and I went out for a ride. We had … Continue reading Veterans Day – Walk With Ken Boyle LXXXII
