JKEST What!?

Some of you may have wondered where JKEST came from... Wonder No More!
It began with a persistent wife... Whose husband loves to start projects but never seems to complete them. So after a few years of a half completed painting project in our living room
it began again. Removing 13 years of outdated paneling was the order of the day. Under (boxed in stairs) paneling was removed only to reveal a flawed wall. We well knew this to be a hollow wall. I thought maybe I could get some built in book shelves made to hide the flawed wall. Ultimately this would create more work for the husband. This is kind of what Jesus does with us... He cuts away our flaws and makes something usable out of our mess. Once the wall was cut away an empty space was revealed, it was dark and dusty but after some work it was made habitable. We all have such spaces in our hearts that Jesus wants to clean up and fill with His love. This space is still a work in progress, kind of like us all. So of course all 5 kids became excited about this new "room"... Not being conventional, too small for a bedroom... Although I thought about it, aww my own space!? LOL! It could have made a rather interesting closet... What to call it? JKEST, first letter of each kids name... Don't ask... Then the Lord gave it to me! Jesus Keeps Everyone Spiritually Together.
This "room" happens to be in the exact center of our home. We have used it to do family devotions. Everyone has to pay attention... No distractions, packed in like sardines. It reminds us of how close Jesus wants us to be to Him. We are all works in progress and will never be finished until the Master Carpenter signs-off on us... being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Phil 1:6 And says ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’Matt 25:21.
