GOD IS NOT DEAD

ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER

‘One nation under God,” is what our founders said,

But something happened on the way.

They now say God is dead.

I know our God lives on. He stands at

heaven’s gate.

And he will bring our nation back from greed and lies and hate.

Under our power alone, we cannot run the race.

He sent His dear Son, Jesus, to die and take our place.

Because He is our God, He’ll never let us stray.

He holds our hands and leads us into His holy way.

When we turn back to God,

His arms are open wide.

He doesn’t look at our mistakes,

but instead, He looks inside.

So, let’s get back to basics and

remember who we are.

Our God’s not dead. He lives and reigns in hearts both near and far.

About atimetoshare.me

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.

    I thought I’d share a sonnet I wrote some years ago [ODE to the Infinite, the Finite & Our Foolishness] consisting of my thoughts on rationalism for the sake of rationalism; or what I consider to be smug rationalism. I hope it’s clear enough:

    Humans cling to the view we benefit
    from physical, material delight
    as though naught counts but what’s felt or in sight
    while ignored our souls are desperate
    for what should count the most — the infinite;
    yet we’ll go on till it’s too late, despite
    much instinct in us of what’s truly right
    that life’s content is so inadequate.
    Regardless, to that same life we cling tight
    since but the physical seems definite
    thus for material matters we fight —
    like the blind-mind addict’s barbiturate —
    while Great Hereafter’s placed post-the-finite
    so skewed are values foremost we’ll permit.

  2. Amen. Kathy, I join in with the sentiments of your verses. God remains with us each day. His righteousness is leading, and I feel His presence in Paul’s painting.
