Food for Thought
Working with what you
have
by David Churchill
These
pictures capture the results of some creatively applied talents.
Why would anybody spend so much time, effort, and probably
even money to make such thought-provoking sculptures that would
be soon washed away with the next high tide?
Perhaps they liked difficult challenges
and unusual goals. Maybe they tried to show off what they
could do and to flaunt their artistry using an unlikely medium.
Perhaps they wanted to provoke
a reaction from people passing by. Maybe they thought favorable
images of Christ would be controversial enough to attract either
praise or hostility.
Perhaps they had too much time
on their hands and nothing else better to do. Maybe they
demonstrated their boredom or frustration through religious symbols.
Perhaps the real answer is more
straightforward. Maybe these people were only trying to
point others to Jesus using what skills and materials they had
on hand in a time and place that others would pay attention.
Perhaps you should take more time
to share with others how you feel about Jesus. Maybe, if
someone working with simple wet sand can point others to Jesus,
then you can work with what you have and point others to Jesus,
too. |
