He told a story about eagles. It was a story I had heard before, at another chapel service, at another Scouting function. I am going to share that story with you this morning. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Here is the story.
Eagles are a big bird.
They often have a wing span of six feet. They build their nests in high places, at the top of the tallest trees, or on a ledge of a high cliff or mountain. They build a large nest, four or five feet across. The base of the nest is built of long, sharp sticks woven together so they poke straight up through the bottom of the nest. After the base is finished, the nest is lined with leaves, feathers, and grass, woven into the sticks to make a soft place on which to lay the eggs.
