This is another favorite of Paul’s art. The stark contrast of the lone white tree in the center of darkness is so true of us once we have become part of Jesus’ family. We stand out from others, not because we are better or that we’ve earned our way to heaven, but because our God is so good that He loves us and washes us clean in spite of our darkness.
ART & POETRY FROM PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©
The world is filled with darkness, the sky is filled with clouds,
The hold of sin entwines you, the weeds encase like shrouds,
But in that deepest sadness, one light remains unmoved,
His arms reach out to hold you, your life will be improved,
Just ask that Light to guide you, repent and follow Him,
By giving up the darkness, new life in you begins.
About atimetoshare.me
As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

The contrast of Paul’s artwork certainly reminds me of the ever-creeping darkness near me, but my faith in God illuminates my way so I feel no longer afraid.
Kathy, your poem eloquently backs up this same image. Praise God for both of you sharing your witness.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words. Sometimes I feel as tough I’m chasing the wind, but then am reminded why I do this in the first place – not for my glory, but His.
