Have you ever research your family tree? I had a great-great grandfather who fought in the Civil War. Another was a tailor and another built several churches in his state. Many were pioneers in the early history of America and came … Continue reading
NATURAL BORN SINNERS
Children aren’t taught to be naughty. It’s as natural as a dog chasing its tail. Teens aren’t molded into bipolar Dr. Jekyls and Mr. Hydes. It’s part of the hormonal imbalance of that age. College students aren’t just naturally rebellious know-it-alls, who think … Continue reading
RANDOM THOUGHTS OF SUMMER
Original art by Paul T. Boecher© On these particularly cold, winter mornings of below zero temps and frosted window panes, it’s nice to look back at the beauty of emerald grasses, wildflowers and brilliant blue, clear water. I am blessed … Continue reading
ON BEING A WINNER
I’m originally a Wisconsin girl, so my heart was happy when the home team, the Green Bay Packers won yesterday. Spending most of my adult life in Minnesota, I was sad to see the Vikings lose by such a close … Continue reading
MY CHURCH FAMILY
In the past week, two of my church family members left this veil of tears to enter the kingdom of heaven. I’ve prayed for another who is going through a divorce from a long time marriage. I’ve felt concern for … Continue reading
RETIREMENT?
Those of us old fogeys in our 70s can laugh at this joke. Some in their 50s and 60s might chuckle a little, but to those in their 30s and 40s, this is no laughing matter. When Social Security was … Continue reading

DAY 6 JANUARY, 2016
Almost a week has gone by and all the resolutions made a few days ago may have already been discarded. We step from one year into another with hopes of making drastic changes, only to realize that life simply goes … Continue reading
RANDOM THOUGHT – GLORIOUS

RANDOM THOUGHT – POWER
Original art by Paul T. Boecher© A water wheel converts the energy of free-flowing or falling water into useful forms of energy. God’s love pours out on us giving us power beyond imagination.
SUPER HEROES
I happen to be a fan of the new “Super Girl” series. Maybe because it’s something different than the usual crime and violence we see on the tube and I don’t mean the nightly news. Most of us like the idea of … Continue reading
TAPPING YOUR POTENTIAL
When you’re a student and your being encouraged to make it into a great college and your grades don’t meet up to the standards, you might think your dream will never come true. You may even go to extreme … Continue reading
THE STORM OF THE DECADE
Remnants of carved Jack-O-Lanterns hidden by a blanket of snow. Little trick or treaters tucked into their beds as folks pushed shovels to stay ahead of the storm. The blizzard of October 31, 1991 buried Minneapolis in more than 2 feet of fresh … Continue reading
RANDOM THOUGHT
Original art by Paul T. Boecher© Birds cannot fly unless they open their wings. How much more are we capable of if we just try? For the next 365 days we have that many chances to open our wings and fly.
KEEP ON TRUCKING
A story begins – we’re introduced to the characters – see their goals and failed attempts at reaching them – get involved in what happens next. With the turn of each page, we see the mistakes they make, root for them to … Continue reading
NOTHING HAPPENS BY CHANCE
As we wind down another year, our natural tendency is to look back at the mistakes we made – the goals we missed – the lost opportunities – the habits we didn’t break. We look forward to a clean slate and … Continue reading
RANDOM THOUGHT
Original art by Paul T. Boecher © Soon this leaf cluttered green turned to the white of winter, bringing the solace of an icy, glimmering peace. We live life fully in the spring and rage through the heat of summer. Each season has its … Continue reading
WINTER
Original Art “SNOW” by Paul T. Boecher© The sun sprinkles a handful of fairy dust upon clinging icicles. Each one hangs on for dear life hoping that tomorrow the thermometer allows them to dwindle a bit, but in reality that … Continue reading
WHO IS THIS CHILD?
God created life before it existed. He carved the mountains into majestic peaks – He filled the seas with living things – He looked at the heavens and placed the stars and planet. Each tree was planted perfectly by Him … Continue reading
RANDOM THOUGHT
Original Art by Paul T. Boecher, “WINTER”© A fresh coating of snow is a great reminder of how God washes the darkness of sin from our hearts. His blood makes us whiter than snow.
