GOD KNOWS WHEN . . .
ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER Our days are numbered in God’s eternal calendar. We don’t know how long, where or when, but we will all die. There is no question about it. We have no control over … Continue reading
HOMEWARD BOUND
The photo attached to this post made me think of the journey my husband and I are traveling right now. We started our life together as high school buddies at the age of 13. He was a fun person to … Continue reading
OUR WEEK IN REVIEW – WORKING THROUGH ANOTHER CHALLENGE
We grew up together. We explored life together. We raised a family. We loved each other. We grew up some more. We got lost in each other’s arms. We made mistakes. We danced and held hands. We supported each other’s … Continue reading
A MAN OF SORROWS
“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” Isaiah 53:3 Why did God allow this to happen? … Continue reading
WHAT PRICE FOR ART?
I didn’t post yesterday, because we ventured out to church in the morning and then spent the rest of the day on a date together. Usually I post some of Paul’s art on Sundays along with some poetry of mine. … Continue reading
HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD
Since today is Throwback Thursday, I thought I’d share an old post from 08-24-15. This story from the Bible has always amazed me. To imagine bones coming back to life creates visions of Stephen Spielberg’s creative mind. It seems an … Continue reading
A QUEEN LAYS HER CROWN AT JESUS’ FEET
I must admit, I didn’t tune in to the Queen’s funeral. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to stay away from current events and the news. Our world is filled with so much bad reporting, false news and … Continue reading
THE HARDEST TEARS
When we cry in silence, I think it’s probably the best time to communicate with God. Not that we should be sad when we pray, but that we feel so connected to Him, that we have no fear in laying … Continue reading
DYING WITH THEIR BOOTS ON
I love the movie, “Second Hand Lions,” with Michael Caine, Robert Duvall and Haley Joel Osment. It’s about two old codgers who won’t give up on life, even though they’re reaching that point in their existence. They use their own … Continue reading
WHAT IF YOU KNEW WHEN YOU WERE GOING TO DIE?
If I knew the exact time, day, year and hour when I would die, I certainly would be in preparation mode. At my age, I should have thought about things like wills, final wishes for my funeral, songs I wanted … Continue reading
IS THERE SUCH A THING AS GOOD GRIEF?
We know that grief is a very common emotion among us humans, yet when we’re experiencing it, there is nothing anyone can say or do to keep the tears from falling – the heart from longing – the mind from … Continue reading
DON’T GIVE UP
God gives us some good advice in James 1:3 & 4. He tells us to hang in there – to hold on to our beliefs – to trust in His wisdom. It isn’t always easy to do that, especially when … Continue reading
DEATH HAS NO POWER OVER ME
Death seems to be surrounding us lately. With the influx of new COVID cases, even those who are vaccinated are not immune to the last breath of life as we know it. My thoughts have turned to this subject of … Continue reading
DEATH SHALL HAVE NO DOMINION
And death shall have no dominion. Dead man naked they shall be one With the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone, They shall have stars at elbow … Continue reading
FRIENDS ARE FRIENDS FOREVER WHEN THE LORD IS LORD OF THEM
Many of the members from our first church we joined, when moving to Minnesota,are now pillars of our current church. It’s funny how we can pick up with people from our past and become immediately reattached. Two years ago, we … Continue reading
LOVE RE-TOLD
In Nicholas Sparks’ book, “The Notebook,” a poignant love story unfolds. It’s the same type of story that filled our hearts with tears when the movie, “Love Story,” came on the screen. Both of these tales, fill us with a mixture … Continue reading
AN EMPTY CHAIR
It was a lovely Tuesday morning. The air fresh and clean, the sky blue – a perfect day to tackle some of my pruning chores. As I walked down our driveway, I was met by a street full of emergency … Continue reading
THERE IS NO SHAME IN CRYING
What will heaven will be like? Will we all be sitting on white puffy clouds singing and playing golden harps? When someone we love departs this world, it’s natural for us to wonder. As Christians, we have the joy of … Continue reading
DEATH WITHOUT STING
“To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, ’tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish’d.” William Shakespeare, “Hamlet” Today we’re attending another … Continue reading
