Where the Socks Go
While getting ready yesterday, I chose a shirt that has a sort of ruffle type design on the front. I noticed part of the shirt seemed to have come undone from the shirt. There was a part that was puffier than the rest. I thought I would have to start over. Find something else to […]
You Never Know
You never know the influence you have on someone. One word, one smile, one action, one suggestion may alter the course of someone’s life. Just yesteday I ran into the person who said to me, “Kim, you should get a blog.” That was about 9 years ago. I love to write and have greatly enjoyed […]
300th Post

That Moment Changed My Life
My manager at the funeral home suggested I get my funeral director’s license. Nah. He kept saying I was good with the grieving families. I had been serving in ministry for years, but mostly children, youth and seniors. Grief. Hmmmm……Hospice nurse he suggested. That moment changed my life. I enrolled in school with nursing as […]

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 We worry. Have such anxiety. People can’t function, can’t sleep, […]

Overwhelmed
Rather than being in a constant state of being overwhelmed by life, Let’s choose to be overwhelmed by God. Creation, sacrifice, love, power, miracles, laughter….be overwhelmed. https://youtu.be/F6oxXwRWFTo
I’m Held by You
I have loved this song for some time, but it hit me the other day in a powerful way. Music is one of the highest forms of prayer. Praise connects us to the Holy Spirit, lifts our hearts, helps us forget – if even for a moment- our problems, reminds us He is here, He […]
The Kaleidoscope – Chaplaincy Experience
When people learn that I’m a Chaplain, I often hear, “Wow, it must be hard to be around death so much.” Often, they think Chaplains are Grim Reapers and represent gloom and death. Is it challenging and heartbreaking to be a Chaplain? Of course. It is so much more though. Being a Chaplain is having […]
What to Say When Someone is Hurting/What NOT to Say
We have all been in positions where we don’t know what to say when someone is grieving, sad, angry, afraid, etc… Don’t Say: It happened for the best. Calm down. (Let me them express how they feel) Don’t cry. Don’t worry, you can have another baby…you have other children… I know how you feel. What […]
