Rise Up Like Eagles
Monday I paddled my kayak up the Little Bull Creek arm of Hillsdale Lake. It was a beautiful morning and I saw a lot of wildlife. As I was paddling back to the put in/take out I noticed three bald eagles in a huge nest high up in a dead tree. The nest was huge. I saw one adult bald eagle with the white head and white tail and two young eagles. The young ones do not have a white head yet and are mostly brown. As I paddled by (not too close), the adult eagle left the nest and soared on the wind current. It was a beautiful sight. It reminded me of the Scripture in Isaiah that says that they that wait on the Lord will rise up like an eagle. The eagle I saw did not do much wing flapping to stay aloft. It just spread it's wings on the winds of adversity and floated! Perhaps that is the way we should approach adversity. Wait on the Lord and then soar with wings like eagles. Live above the circumstances.

I really liked this one. I've never seen an eagle before. Only on TV and in pictures in books. I like to ride my bike like you love to kayak. My favorite part is when i go down hills. Feeling the wind in my hair, it feels like i'm flying. Kaitlin and I saw a Robin's nest at camp. There were three little blue eggs. Then the next day there was four.
