ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER
Our thoughts are filled with fear and dread,
The tines of life like wildfire spread,
We even wish that we were dead,
Yet God would not release His hold,
He held us tightly in the fold,
To teach us to be strong and bold,
He never let His love grow cold,
His roots run deep, His hold is strong,
He keeps us where we now belong,
He turns us right when we do wrong,
His Word is like a lovely song,
He pulls us out of danger’s way,
He gives us light in each dark day,
He leads us back when we would stray,
He even teaches us to pray,
He’ll never let us go.
Life is filled with challenges. Day by day we get through them because God is at our side and will see us through anything – no matter how difficult. His life on earth was one of compassion and unconditional love. This is love we cannot understand. It’s unselfish, willing to serve, giving, kind, without merit. We can try to imitate Jesus, but we will always fall short. Thank Him every day for giving you life and hope.
THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR ANOTHER DAY!

What intrigues me about Paul’s painting is the dark figure on the right. Your opening words match the mood of the figure- filled dread and fear, trudging along a path. Excellent words by you and beautiful painting by Paul. What’s not to like about that?!?!

Paul was an avid outdoorsman as well as a hunter. The figure might be him.
