What'cha Expect'n?

People expect the clergy to have


the grace of a swan,


the friendliness of a sparrow,


the strength of an eagle and


the night hours of an owl -
and some people expect such a bird

to live on the food of a canary.

Soaring Above


The Ways of the Eagle
by K.J. Hopper

How does the eagle mount above every care?

A mighty bird gracefully soaring above
Her broad wings stretching into the heavens
All the while observing the happenings below
Thus allowing me to glean from the beauty of her spirit.

On the crag of the rock, she builds her nest
A lofty residence cordially shared with nature
Then looking afar, she seeks a trace of prey
With keen eyes, marking her unsuspecting target.

How amazing the eagle in its conquests!
In air, she slices through the mighty winds
On the ground, she gathers diverse rewards
Authority and power travel upon her wings.

May my desire be to learn the ways of the eagle.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint." Isa 40.31
