----He hung there----
like that painting on the wall
but the blood was real
not dried oil paints -
the thorns sharp and alive
not just strokes of a brush.

Short and powerful!  Can't get that picture from your mind?  That's a good thing!  Though I honesly can't remember who had it hanging on the wall.

Where there is faith,
there is love.
Where there is love,
there is peace.
Where there is peace,
there is GOD.
Where there is GOD,
there is no need.

Quite impressive.  How many of us would be wiling to endure what He did for our fellow man?

Thank you.  We need to be constantly reminded this was far more than a story or a picture on a wall.  Wht. Dove, That picture was on my wall.

whtdove - it's on my wall too!!! (the wall of my mind if not literally on my wall).
Kelly - i know it was a rhetorical question but i took it literally and discovered that few if any would - makes His sacrifice even more powerful. thanks guys for reading!!!

Very beautiful....He suffered much for us. He will never be forgotten. The wounds he took are ours....which we, unfortunately, do deserve.
