Being the church….

Well, I certainly didn’t think a week would go by without blogging after my new/improved website got up and running, but that is what happened. Can’t even tell you where the time went exactly except whatever I was doing, I certainly was busy doing it.

Are you a to-do list maker?

I am, but then the list gets out of hand with me adding things like “Promote world peace” at the bottom of the list along with buying milk and eggs and the whole thing gets tossed in the trash as way too much to do in a [...]

Hello World!

It is fabulous to be back online with kimzweygardt.com!  Love the new look and looking forward to new adventures in God.  Isn’t it amazing that though He is the same yesterday, today and forever, life with Him is never the same!  I am listening to Brandon Heath’s “Wait and See” where he sings that God [...]

IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT

I love that God wastes nothing in our lives! And I adore that He has a plan for us even when we don’t see it! And I think it is the greatest that He gifts all of us with ways to reach the world for His Kingdom!

Isn’t God good?

Many of you know me as a [...]

ODDS AND ENDS

Depending on where you are in life—buying pencils and notebooks and new backpacks and writing checks for lunch tickets or writing really big checks for college tuition or perhaps watching your grandchildren get on the bus for that first day of school, mid August heralds the end of summer and reminds me that time passes.

Since [...]

HOW HARD IS THIS CHRISTIANITY THING?

Lately, I have been considering the Christian life. Not just living out my faith in Christ but looking at what is it about my life that makes it different from those who do not follow Christ.

I would like to say that all those who do not follow Christ are mean spirited, impolite,

LISTENING WHEN HE SPEAKS

Do you have quiet time? Do you read the Word daily? Do you have personal devotions allowing time for a conversation with your Savior?

Of course you do. You are a Christ follower.

Well……maybe not. I read a recent article from the Center for Bible Engagement that is a little scary. It seems most of us believe [...]

Family

I’ve been thinking a lot about family these days. I just got home from 3 days spent with my Dad and as I rode in the pickup truck with him, fixing fence, checking cattle, and loading hay bales, the day to day work of farming, I walked memory lane.

I don’t get home much. I left [...]

ATTACK OR OPPORTUNITY?

Thanks to all the wonderful ladies at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Goodland, Kansas, as well as First United Methodist, Norton who welcomed me for their ladies soiree’s recently.

It is always an honor and privileged to share with women all that God has done through His Son, Jesus as well as what He is wanting to do [...]

TRUTH

I’ve had great intentions to blog lately, but life has been a little upside down the last few weeks.

Happy, Happy Resurrection Day since I didn’t say it April 12th! We had two wonderful services at St. Francis Community Church celebrating the Truth that He is Alive!

CHANGE

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to change lately. Pastor Kent Morgan of Courts of Praise Church in Atwood, Kansas once said, “Change is mandatory. Growth is optional.”

I like that quote, even as I struggle to grow thru changes!

What is it about change that grates on us? And what is it about getting older [...]
