Memorial Day 2021: The Bravest Boehme
My mom and I visited Sunset Lane today–our hometown cemetery–to honor loved ones on Memorial Day. The scenic property overlooking Sinclair Inlet was bedecked with American flags while hundreds stood for a military ceremony then visited nearby gravesites.
We walked the grounds and placed beautiful rhododendron from mom’s yard by the tombstones of our loved ones. We prayed, thanked God for their lives, their love of God and family, and their devotion to our country.
May coming generations continue to remember them.
Every Memorial Day I love to honor my “Uncle Dick” Boehme who gave his life for our freedom.
He is the Bravest Boehme.
Fifty Years of Journaling with God
A wise New Zealander named Blythe Harper told me when I was nineteen that one of the smartest habits I could practice in life was to keep a spiritual journal.
I started practicing his advice on October 30, 1972. I have been doing it ever since.
Right now, I am looking down at the yellowed first page of that record when my handwriting was still young and vibrant, and thoughts flowed like water. I’m sure glad I heeded his advice.
That fifty-year legacy is now on-line for others to enjoy. It’s called “Ron Journal” and you can click on it here or scroll to the bottom of the usrenewal.org website page.
The Trojan Horse of BLM
The Trojan Horse is a story how the Greeks used stealth to win a war. It’s part of Greek mythology–but possibly based on real events.
I’ve regrettably concluded the Black Lives Matter organization (BLM) is the biggest social Trojan Horse of our time.
We better “drag it out” of our nation before it’s too late.
