Death
Eve of Destruction?
Baby boomers in particular remember the Barry McGuire tune “Eve of Destruction” which became a theme song of the 1960s and early ’70s. It referenced the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations, the hippie movement against faith-based morality, and the danger of nuclear weapons.
The world wasn’t destroyed two generations ago, but Western civilization arguably began its descent into moral and social disintegration.
Destructive forces have been unleashed this week at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago mirroring the mayhem of 1968. There’s upheaval in the streets and very seductive messaging inside the United Center.
Is the Democratic Party trying to bring back an eve of destruction?

On July 14, 1973, I recorded my belief in a vital truth:

America learned that same lesson–again–on July 13, 2024.
Here are my thoughts on God’s Providence and attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
Memorial Day 2024: The Bravest Boehme

The person I think about most on Memorial Day is my Uncle Dick whom I’ll have the privilege of meeting in heaven. He died near the end of WWII in 1945.
He was the bravest Boehme. Read More
