Like an Eagle

It's for the birds.

Not really.

I just wrote that because it's been a while since I used an overused cliché.

It's actually for us.

It's called the Bald Eagle Cam.

In Oklahoma a camera has been mounted on a platform where a pair of eagles have built a nest.

They're raising a youngster there.

And they have no idea that more than a million people from 60 countries are watching their every move.

That's a good thing.

What parent in their right mind would agree to such an arrangement?

When an Internet glitch interrupted the reality show, people went nuts.

I guess they do exist.

Eagle Video Junkies.

What's the big attraction?

I could come up with some picturesque description I suppose.

Or.... just let you find out for yourself:

You probably didn't expect to be thinking about eagles today.

Me neither.

But maybe it's God's unusual way of encouraging us.

Isaiah 40:30-31 (ESV) "Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
