13 Year Old Falconer Hunts With Golden Eagle… April 17, 2014

… I love birds. I always have. They’re funny little creatures that God gifted with flight. I imagine they’re one of His favorite creations. To me they represent total detachment from the world. Birds possess a freedom we’ll never attain until death — a complete dependency on God to care for their needs.

Matthew 6:26 “Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them.”

That and they can fly. Flying’s pretty cool.
