INTEGRITY
There has been an appalling lack of integrity in the past fifty years. We see it in business dealings. It rears its ugly head in our colleges and universities. It even infiltrates the youngest of minds on the playgrounds of … Continue reading
A STORM TO REMEMBER
It was the first time the world had ever experienced rain. Up until this time in history, the earth had been covered with a canopy of moisture to nourish and sustain it. When God finally lifted it, it was as if … Continue reading
FINAL EXAMS
This week many college and/or high school students will be taking final exams. I can relate to the pressure they’re under. I never liked taking tests. I would often wait until the last minute to cram every ounce of information … Continue reading
ARE YOU A PALEONTOLOGIST ?
During a time of restoration in our lives, both my husband and I took any kind of jobs just to make ends meet. I’d spent 13 years as a volunteer drama director at the high school our kids attended. With … Continue reading
MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU . . .
I must admit, I’m not a great Star Wars aficionado. I know, I know, what’s wrong with that woman anyway? My kids enjoyed the Star Wars movies. I love Yoda and the baby Yoda characters. Didn’t much care for Jabba … Continue reading
THE MERRY MONTH OF MAY
“As full of spirit as the month of May, and as gorgeous as the sun in Midsummer.” ― William Shakespeare It’s May. It’s May – the merry month of May. Originating in Ireland this holiday was designed to welcome spring with … Continue reading
SURVIVOR
ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER© Life gets complicated, Torrents of troubles rain upon us, This brief time on earth is a mere whisper, How do we withstand the storms, How do we live through them, How do we … Continue reading
HOW DID YOUR WEEK STACK UP?
I love these old dudes from the Muppets Show. They would sit in their private balcony and review whatever was being presented at the time. Of course, their reviews were always negative and left me thinking “Is this as good … Continue reading
SPRING RAGE
ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER© A mass of melting snow trickles gently over rocks and crevices, Weeping as the tears of God, Hemorrhaging from each pore within the granite, Shards of glasslike ice – intertwining, mingling, coexisting, Fraternizing, … Continue reading
DEATH & TAXES
Woo hoo, it’s April 15th and time to get your taxes paid or receive a refund. I never did quite understand why we should be taxed on what we earned by actually working. It seems ludicrous in a way that … Continue reading
PEARLS OF TRUTH
There’s really nothing funny about getting older. The fact that you have become your mother isn’t really all that bad. You loved your mother, right? I know I did. She came to live in our home when she was my … Continue reading
AS YOUNG AS YOU FEEL
Today is “As Young as You Feel” Day, according to the list of wacky holidays. I guess you could say that today I feel like I should’ve died a long time ago. The skies are grey. I have no great … Continue reading
MY IRISH EYES ARE FAILING
I will be undergoing cataract surgery in the next few weeks. My eyes probably are about all that I can claim as Irish. The image attached to this post is not me, but those eyes are so nice and clear … Continue reading
ARE YOU A SAINT OR SINNER? YES!
There seems to be an interest in getting a bird’s eye view of other people making foolish mistakes or trying to be something they can’t possibly be. We see it in the weekly reality shows on television – movies- in … Continue reading
LEARNING TO TRUST
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.” Psalm 9:10 Many of you know my husband is an artist. He went to school at the Chicago Art Institute so that … Continue reading
PROPHECY FULFILLED . . .
There was no question as to who Jesus was. He fulfilled every prophecy ever written about Him. He spoke with authority, He did miracles, He left His home in Heaven and took on the form of man, He died on … Continue reading
EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could simply hit the reset button and start over with an absolutely clean slate? It seems to be the way we handle things today. When something stops doing what it’s supposed to do, we … Continue reading
JUST ANOTHER HOLIDAY?
I’m old enough to remember when we celebrated President Lincoln’s birthday on February 12 and Washington’s on February 22. As time went by, all presidents were celebrated on the third Monday of February. As with most American holidays, it transformed … Continue reading
PRESIDENTS DAY FUNNIES
HEY, WHAT’S THAT IN THE SKY?
With the sighting of several “weather” balloons in the sky recently, I couldn’t help but wonder why we go into panic mode when anything unusual happens. Instead of making light of it, we tend to turn our attention to the … Continue reading
