ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER
Our journey through this life is filled with tangles, obstacles and messes along the way. This pencil sketch depicts the many roads we can take. Our choices can be burdensome or smooth sailing. God gives us the ability to decide which road to take by giving us a free will, but often that leads us down the wrong path. When we allow Him to lead the way, the roadblocks are just bumps in the road.
So many times we turn away a stranger. We push them out and never let them in.
Yet one so small lay in a lowly manger. So He could touch our stone-like hearts of sin.
He came in poverty to wash away those sins. He lived that way so we’d have wealth unknown.
When we push Him out you know devil wins. We simply cannot get through life alone.
So open up your heart to Him today. Our Jesus wants to make His home right there.
He loves us even when we turn away. He cares for us and answers every prayer.
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.

Amen. Kathy, I appreciate the significance of this testament’s title. As our faith matures in God’s righteous breath, His grace will bring us home.

I didn’t realize the tree picture wasn’t a photograph until I read your second sentence. So lovely!

I’m glad you enjoyed this art piece. My husband is the artist and he passed away on January 1, 2025. I am honoring his memory by posting a work of art along with some of my own words each day so far this year.
