The View From the Front Porch: Fairness, Forgiveness...and Pineapples

The View From the Front Porch. Saturday, October 04, 2014. Fairness, Forgiveness.and Pineapples. If we forgive a terrible wrong done to us, does that mean we have to like that person and continue our relationship as if nothing ever happened? Is it fair that they receive the benefits of eternity in heaven, if they've been downright nasty most of their life and then late in life accept a Savior who's willing to forgive them and give them eternal life? It's almost an hour long - but sooo. If you've watched ...

The View From the Front Porch. Saturday, September 13, 2014. Gracious words are a honeycomb,. Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. We are watching an eye-opening video series at church entitled "Resolving Everyday Conflict," by PeaceMaker Ministries. It's been very good so far, but last night's session was one of the best. I've heard and read the Matt. 7:3-5 "get the log out of your eye before trying to take the speck out of your brother's eye" parable preached and taught many times. Yet. You've j...

The View From the Front Porch. Saturday, January 11, 2014. I'm Going on an Adventure! Only those who will risk going too far can possibly. How far one can go. Most in my family are world travelers, enjoying that "risk of going too far". but I rarely do. I'm usually the one willing and able to stay home; playing chauffeur to and from the airport, happily staying behind while they go off on their adventures. HOW many hours in the air did you say? An adventure was apparently long overdue. Well, in our famil...

The View From the Front Porch. Monday, September 16, 2013. A Weekend Stroll Down Memory Lane. When a few of my "old" classmates and facebook friends began discussing the possibility of a 30th year class reunion a few months ago, I had mixed feelings. I wanted to see old friends, yet I knew it can be awkward and a bit depressing to get together with people who haven't spent much time together in over 30 years. But my thirty year reunion? And you know what? She NAILED it. My 30th reunion turned out to ...

The View From the Front Porch. Sunday, June 21, 2015. Celebrating a Life - Jennifer Cox. When my husband, Nate, was asked to do a portion of our sister-in-law's funeral service, his biggest concern was that he wouldn't be able to sufficiently honor her. How, with mere words, can you pay tribute to such a life? June 20, 2015. A shepherd who gave us a place of rest. We are here to celebrate the memory of Jennifer Lea Riley Cox. How do we honor a life so well lived? Cancer is a disease that takes more and m...

The View From the Front Porch. Monday, May 18, 2015. Because that which is known about God is evident. Within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." Romans 1:19-20. Grand Tetons, Wyoming, August 2005. Canon in D, without acknowledging Pachelbel? Yesterday, I stood upon an overlook that gives a wonderful vi...

The View From the Front Porch. Thursday, July 18, 2013. When You Walked In. Taylor Swift's song "I Knew You Were Trouble" has been around for awhile. I've never really paid attention to the lyrics - still haven't. But a few days ago when I randomly heard it playing and she sang the line that must be the whole theme of her song. " I knew you were trouble when you walked in". My brain did this humorous flashback thing. He's now my life long best friend, and most days, he's no "trouble" at all. What an ...

http://kohlfrontporch.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
The View From the Front Porch. Sunday, April 27, 2014. Our boy, the youngest of our seven kids, is probably the worst speller of our bunch. I'm not complaining or belittling him - just stating facts. We all know he's brilliant.he just probably doesn't know how to spell it. Side note: We do digress and chase rabbits quite often around here.). Without hesitating, Josiah piped in, "It can't be a UFO - so they'll probably call them AFO's.". A bit surprised at our lack of understanding, he rolled his eyes and...
