ORIGINAL ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©
The mountains are a perfect location to view God’s majesty. This painting shows how those mountains were precisely carved by His own hand. The sky is filled with His breath as it moves throughout the expanse. Trees point upwards to view His face, but no one sees it. This God, who created all things – who guides the way of its inhabitants – who provides for all their needs – who knows what is in their hearts -who feels their pain and has healing in His wings – this is the One true God. Each day has already been mapped out for our lives. In a world that is filled with uncertainty, evil and hate, we can be sure that He is there to turn the chaos into order. I thank Him for giving me a life filled with challenges, frustration and depression, because He has also given me a balance through His Holy Word. The blessings far outweigh the bad stuff. Life in this world is not perfect, but God’s own Son made it possible for us to achieve perfection both here and in eternity. Our true home is heaven. I look forward to it more and more each day. In life and death, oh LORD, abide with me.
Were you there when He placed the land and divided the waters,
Did you witness the division of night and day,
Were your eyes open as each living cell was formed into a thing of beauty,
Did you smell the smoke as it sprang from the mountains at His touch,
He was there,
He made it happen,
He alone,
No big bang or explosion,
Just His voice,
He spoke, and it was,
His Word is sufficient,
Who can claim such glory,
Who can design such beauty from nothing,
Who can take a tiny seed and grow it into towering tree,
Who can fill the earth with life,
Who can take it all away,
Only God.

Amen, Kathy. Your poem kind of reminds me of one of my favorites, the book of Job. I just love the line, “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion?”

I love the book of Job too. When my husband lost his business and we personally lost everything, it was a go-to for both of us. It’s very humbling to think we can do a better way to make it in this world. Especially when he’s right beside us fixing things.

This painting reminds me of Van Gogh. Years ago, I was blessed to visit that museum in Amsterdam. Seeing up close the thick, vivid strokes one could almost see the passion oozing out. Just when I think I have a favorite, you post another!

My husband had many styles, but he was eat known for his ability to sweep those brushstrokes across the canvas almost faster than his mind worked. Thanks for enjoying his work.
