The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the storms of life come upon us -- and all of us will experience them -- we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them. The Bible says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles." (Isaiah 40:31

I'm sure that they do and that's a geat illustration for the rest of us!
Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

eagles are clearly my favorite team besides my home team who unfortunately did not make the playoffs but the way the eagles played yesterday against the cowboys was just amazing the cowboys couldn't stop them and the eagles defense got 2 more touchdowns than the cowboys team.. if they can continue to play that way i don't see a them being beat i see them going into minn, ny, car and advancing to the superbowl against well who knows but i definitely need to thank the raiders for upsetting the bucs and the texans for taking care of the bears for the opportunity for the eagles
