LifeThoughts from Khris: February 2005
http://khrisblog.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 07, 2005. I will miss my grandmother terribly, but I will celebrate her salvation in Christ. Where there are no goodbyes). When Lynn Kirkland's dad died, I wrote the following. I keep thinking about this:. It’s the song of angels. The whisper of your heart. The mark of a new life. Like a dove flying to the ark. The doorway to Canaan. A land full of promise. It’s a faith that is sure. Sure as a mother’s loving kiss. Feelings of home again. Inviting me to live. A ship sailing to shore.

LifeThoughts from Khris: September 2004

Tuesday, September 21, 2004. Well, I'm "Blog In The Saddle Again".it's been a week or so since my last blog. It all started with being excited about blogging that I totally forgot my user id (stop laughing). Well, after an extensive trial by error exercise, I've got it back.now it's written everywhere. How embarrassing. A lot was discussed from Garry's lesson to the LifeWalk Group. Things like the sin nature versus God's nature and which one in my life was being nourished the most? We even looked at Spir...

Tuesday, December 07, 2004. Assessments were made and the teams paired up. What’s even cooler about the whole situation is that she is a teammate of Mallory Porterfield. We used to go to church with the Porterfields at the Hoover Church of Christthat was over six years ago (hard to believe). Plus Stephen Porterfield (Mallory’s dad and an old friend) is one of her coaches! Donna Porterfield (Mallory’s mom) called me and said how excited they were to reconnect. I told her there was nothing more enjoyable t...

Thursday, September 29, 2005. Often as a young boy, me and my brother would visit my Grandmother (Granny) and Grandfather (Granddaddy) in Caruthersville, MO (southeastern Missouri, right near the Mississippi River) during the summer months for a few weeks. Tim would ride his bike to Granny’s house to see us. There were so many times that the three of us would ride on one. Bicycle to get to Aunt Betty’s house. When one or three are desperate to get somewhere, you can get pretty creative. We would rotate t...

LifeThoughts from Khris: April 2005
http://khrisblog.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 09, 2005. I Shot the Bird. No, it’s not what you’re thinking (as far as you know). I was actually thinking back when I was in 4th grade when I literally killed a bird. It was a Robin and afterwards I felt terrible. It was a warm summer day in St. Louis. I walked out of our house on Jane Avenue with my brand new Daisy BB gun. This was going to be a great day! I slowly took aim as it just sat there unaware of its impending doom. I fired. What? I started feeling bad about the whole thing and...

LifeThoughts from Khris: May 2005
http://khrisblog.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 23, 2005. I'm not sure where to begin with this post. My emotions are very mixed right now and it's easy for me to get all choked up. Andy, my only son (he's 22), is getting married this Saturday (May 28, 2005). I'm very happy for him, but I keep thinking back on his life and reliving some of the memories. I can honestly and sadly say. About a month ago Andy told me about the book he is reading. He said he was reading "Wild At Heart" by John Elldredge. He said it teaches him about the...I pra...

Tuesday, August 30, 2005. My good friend and brother in Christ, Ron Dodson, gave me a book to read. Ron is the Director of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction for the Hoover, AL School system.obviously, when Ron recommends something, I'm going to heed his advice. The book is simply called "Speak". It's written by Laurie Halse Anderson. My intention is to make sure Bailey reads this in the spring of 2006.right around the time when she is finishing up 8th grade. I cannot say this enough: Any parent that h...

LifeThoughts from Khris: March 2005
http://khrisblog.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 14, 2005. Fire and the Flame. I wrote these lyrics a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share them with you. Hope you like:. Fire and the Flame. To my soul, I’d say. That I had made. To my heart today. My soul whispers with hope again. The hours of my life became gray. Aliveness in my soul begins. Purified by fire and the flame. Oh the holy fire and the flame. Came to melt a heart made of steel. Confronting me with all my shame. Allowing me to love and feel. To my heart I prayed.

Monday, July 11, 2005. Off the Beaten Path. Oftentimes when traveling, I’ll try to take the ‘road less traveled by,’ just to see what’s there and to check the scenery. I have this desire to be away from congested interstates and intersections and would much rather take a scenic route that has a white-capped stream, mountains that reach for the sky, valleys that are rich with wonderas long as it doesn’t take me too far out of my way. For my thoughts are not your thoughts,. As the rain and the snow. Which ...

LifeThoughts from Khris: November 2004

Wednesday, November 17, 2004. The Duke of Hazard. The dream happened just a few years ago, but I’d like to share it with you. It changed my life. The dream is still as vivid today as it was then and it has opened my eyes to who I am and how Jesus feels about me. I’ll set the context for you:. I grew up loving John Wayne movies. My favorite is. Other movies depicted similar character roles for John Wayne. Movies like. The Green Beret, The Sons of Katie Elder, Big Jake, The Longest Day, Rio Bravo. Surely t...
