ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

Today, I’ve decided to post one of Paul’s wood sculptures. It’s roughly hewn with chisels, cutting through what once was a tree – now restored into a thing of beauty. Even the cracks in Mary’s face indicate her humanity. In the center, we see the perfectly formed head of the Son of God and man. The little head would one day wear a crown of thorns as He made His way to His crucifixion. That child would live among us and make it possible for us to join Him one day in eternity.

Do we place upon a pedestal the heroes of our time?
We sometimes make them idols. Do we think they are divine?
When they show that they are human, they quickly tumble down.
They lose that place of honor. They no more wear a crown.

They thought they were invincible – that they could do no wrong.
They took the road most travelled – they sang their own sweet song.
The accolades enticed them. Their greed did overcome.
They tested all the limits. To their pride they would succumb.

The only super-hero that fills our every need,
Is Jesus, Christ our Savior. For our souls His wounds did bleed.
He gave His life to save us – from sin to set us free.
He conquered death to give us life for all eternity.

The superstars and champions may give us all a thrill,
But the Son of God won’t let us down. Our every need He’ll fill.
So, look to Him for lasting peace. The victory He has won.
He is our true redeemer- role model – Number One!

THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR YOUR LIFE, DEATH AND RESURRECTION.

BECAUSE OF THEM, I ALSO THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER DAY!
