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.

6-8 INCHES OF NEW FALLEN SNOW – BLEH!
I guess we should have expected it. Last week’s little dusting of snowflakes was just a foreshadowing of what was to come. Yesterday, the white stuff, which we refer to in Minnesota as that horrible four letter word, starting falling … Continue reading
CONTAINED
When we lived in the city, there were countless container cars, sitting idly in the rail yards. In fact, when not in use, they’d be stacked in piles of four or more, to await being pulled into use again. It was kind … Continue reading
OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MORNIN’
I’m a sucker for musical theatre. There’s nothing like someone bursting into song and dance for no particular reason. Music can ease some of the pain we face each day – whether it be physical or mental. Old Testament, David, … Continue reading
I MISS THE HUGS
It used to be that hugs were natural. Now we must be careful not to send the wrong message. Social distancing has made it impossible to show affection, to encourage or show concern with an embrace. We’ should be conscious … Continue reading
HOW HAS LIFE TURNED OUT FOR YOU?
There was a day when I wondered what my lot in life would be. I’ve often dreamed dreams which could be interpreted as bizarre, frightening and downright dark. There have been other dreams too. The ones that show a world … Continue reading
TURN IT OVER
There’s no doubt about it. We live in a crummy world. We can choose to make a difference, to change things, to sit around and fret about it, to hide ourselves from it or we can rid ourselves of the … Continue reading
DON’T MESS WITH MR. IN BETWEEN
It was 1945. I was only three years old and didn’t know much about war. I didn’t understand hate. I didn’t know what it was all about, but I did love the music of that time period. My parents both … Continue reading
ONE DAY AT A TIME

MY COUNTRY ‘TIS OF THEE
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” Ronald Reagan During this time … Continue reading
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE TOLERANT?
Tolerance is described in the dictionary as a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one’s own; freedom from bigotry. The opposite of being tolerant is to be narrow minded, unbending, … Continue reading
PAINTING IDOLS
ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER This morning, John, the eclectic contrarian, spoke about television as being an idol in today’s society. It made me think of the ancients and their idols. I’m posting a few of the … Continue reading
THE WORLD IN DARKNESS LAY
Can you imagine a world in complete darkness? It may seem that the haze covering our earth and intermingling with our thoughts, fears and dreams has shrouded our thinking and even our way of life. When God plagued Egypt in … Continue reading
YOU CAN PUSH ME DOWN, BUT I WILL GET UP

THE AGONY OF DE FEET!
I remember it well. I was nearing twenty. The twist was the dance of the day. A new band from across the pond was making its way to the US. I fell somewhere between Elvis and the Beatles and never lowered myself to swooning … Continue reading
