Diner Diaries: 10/01/2002 - 11/01/2002

Life and Times of a Patron of the King's Chef diner. Monday, October 28, 2002. Just before noon the diner is fairly quiet with only three or four diners at best. The guys are relaxed and happy today as I sweep in. (I never walk in my red leather boots, I sweep or I glide, saunter or sashay on the three and a half inch heels.). One guy spends so much time deciding what to order, I swear I watched his hair turn gray. I wonder if something’s up. I think I might win the pool. Posted by Kim Bentz @ 3:23 PM.

Life and Times of a Patron of the King's Chef diner. Wednesday, November 27, 2002. Did I mention the yard? Oh, do I have to? All of these items would have been far greater if we hadn't done some or all of the work ourselves. And we're not done. I still can't use the living room; the kitchen is a pit; the downstairs bathroom is closed off- unusable at the moment and we can't afford to replace it yet. Posted by Kim Bentz @ 7:49 AM. Links to this post. Thursday, November 21, 2002. I’ve been working on my fr...

Mountain Home Companion: Self-Examination

http://mountainhomecompanion.blogspot.com/2010/03/self-examination.html

Monday, March 29, 2010. I have to ask myself the following questions today. I believe they came from Tozer, but I heard them while listening to an online sermon from Twin Oaks Presbyterian Church. What do you want more than anything else? Honestly examine your hearts cravings. What do you think about more than anything else? How do you use your money? What do you do with your leisure time? Who do you admire and what do you admire about them? What is humorous to you? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mountain Home Companion: JULY

http://mountainhomecompanion.blogspot.com/2010/07/july.html

Sunday, July 18, 2010. Well, most of my writing has been fiction and a few opinion pieces I post for another site, but I thought I should take a moment to discuss some of the personal struggles I've had. I found myself in a pit. So many changes, so much confusion, so little surety in anything in our lives has taken a toll on me. My beloved brother moved away just months after we moved to be closer to him (coincidence? Whatever the case, I was worn out, exhausted, sad and confused. It showed all over ...

Mountain Home Companion: 08/23/2015 - 08/30/2015

http://mountainhomecompanion.blogspot.com/2015_08_23_archive.html

Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Heading through the woods, I was determined to come in behind some flowering trees I had seen from the road. Everywhere I looked there where small flowers taking up residence along the sides of paths, on trees, along the river bank…and among these small wonders, these delicate beauties, were leaves of all shapes and sizes. Just look at all the wonders! The wild garlic unfurls it’s sle. What if I only made one kind of plant? Don’t we long for the variety? Yet I long to be somet...

Mountain Home Companion: A Night Walk in Virginia

http://mountainhomecompanion.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-night-walk-in-virginia.html

Wednesday, August 26, 2015. A Night Walk in Virginia. The cicadas' song in the heat of the day is slowly fading into the nighttime crickets' melody. Somewhere the fireflies are putting on a show, though they aren't performing near me lately. The magnolia tree has put out two or three sad flowers that seem to have no aroma. Although I find the aroma of magnolias overwhelming, it wounds me to smell nothing, to see that magnolia and recognize a brokenness there. Why is the magnolia lacking in fragrance?
