random thoughts from a housewife: April 2010
http://kimxtom.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 27, 2010. I just finished reading a friend's manuscript called "Why God? In his book, Bob McAdams leads his readers on a quest to sift through our common human experiences of reason, truth, good and evil, time, and beauty to "gather from this richness some new thoughts about the reasons for belief and non-belief in God.". It was while I reading his chapter titled, " the shoe that does not fit. That I recognized I was on yet another quest. Church should only be about comfort for the sick, t...

random thoughts from a housewife: June 2010
http://kimxtom.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 28, 2010. Are we there yet? Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go. I've been thinking about this verse a lot since last summer when I heard it in the context of a Renovare conference session titled - Where you do not wish to go: discerning and yielding to God's guidance. And beg...

Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Which is still the greatest mystery of all. Lost answered this question through Jack's dad - "Nobody does it alone, Jack. You needed all of them and they needed you." That's still an answer that leads to more questions, but I can live with that. Other post-Lost musings @ The LOST Recap. And Making sense of LOST. Posted by Kim Wilkens. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

random thoughts from a housewife: December 2009
http://kimxtom.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 11, 2009. These are devotions I wrote for the third week of Advent based on our worship theme at Peace of The Weary World Rejoices! I started with the lectionary. Readings and found it interesting how they inspired me in reverse. What should we do? Read Luke 3:7–18. Wouldn't we love to have some general outline of what it is we should be doing - to know what exactly is God's will for our lives? Always be gentle with others. God is here to help you. I will lead you home. Look me in the eye.

random thoughts from a housewife: it's time for a change
http://kimxtom.blogspot.com/2011/04/its-time-for-change.html
Sunday, April 10, 2011. It's time for a change. This blog has been so important to me for my life's journey and as indicated by the title, it has also been pretty random. I think I've gained some focus recently. In the summer of 2010, I decided to focus my energies on two passions: technology teaching and social justice. This has led to a wonderful year of learning and growing. It has also led to some life transforming moments:. This convergence of technology and justice led to the Project Justice. Here ...

random thoughts from a housewife: July 2010
http://kimxtom.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 09, 2010. My favorite new song is The High Road by Broken Bells. It's too late to change your mind;. You let loss, be your guide. At first, it seems like a pretty negative sentiment and being ruled by loss can certainly be a sad fate. I've been thinking about loss a lot lately. My weekend's experience of loss was pretty superficial, but when I thought I had lost the diamond from my engagement ring, I cursed its very existence for making me feel so bad for losing it. Childhood is lost to time.

Monday, November 08, 2010. Project justice - day 1. I have been so excited about the opportunity I've been given to pull together a week long immersion experience for my middle school students that focuses on local social justice issues.

peace pods: February 2010

Devotions, sermons, music and other media available from Peace Lutheran Church. Fasting and feasting: Feasting and fasting - Matthew 6:16-18. Day 1 - Kingdom Living. Read Matthew 6:16-18, Luke 14:12-14. Just as in Jesus' teaching on fasting, the emphasis here is Kingdom Living and right intention. "When you feast (give a luncheon or dinner)" don’t do it for show and personal gain, but "when you invite" those that can never pay you back or add to your status and reputation. Read Matthew 6:16-18 and Luke 1...
