ART & POETRY BY KATHY BOECHER©
Paul is taking his plein air painting group to a sunflower field to paint today. One of my favorite flowers to paint – not only because of their beauty, glory and delicious color, but because you can’t really mess up a painting of these fancy flowers. I declined going with the group, because of my continuous allergies, so maybe I’ll have to paint one at the house today.
As darkness fills the streets this day,
Think of the price it cost to pay,
For freedom to express your dreams,
To voice our thoughts without extremes,
To thank the ones who fought so hard,
Who came back wounded, hurt and scarred,
They sacrificed the greater good,
Their place in battle strongly stood,
They let their light so strongly burn,
Remember what for us they earned,
The freedom to defend our cause,
The peace we’ve gained through death and loss,
Reflections of the Son of God,
Their actions let us now applaud.

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.

I agree Kathy. My prayers seem to have a consistent theme to them these days, but I feel blessed to be having this conversation.
