Wings

An article in the National Geographic several years ago painted an incredible picture of God's wings.....
After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesque on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked the bird over with a stick. Upon doing so, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings.
The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. When the blaze had arrived and the heat had singed her small body, the mother had remained steadfast. Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live.
Psalm 91:4
He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

"MaRs"


This is a BeauTiful place to SwiM among all the other locations on the IlliNois VallEy RiVer!! Driving to the swimming hole the ground is red dirt/rock (like St. George), and when you get to the river it's all RoCk....hence the name. We had so much FuN there. The WaTer is CrYstal clear, pretty WaRm, ClEan, and with many locations to enjoy beyond this place...and so far we have been to 2 of them...4 more days left!
