>An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a
>penetrating picture of God's wings.  After a forest fire in Yellow-
>stone 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 statuesquely on the ground at the base
>of a tree.
>
>Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird 
>with a stick.  When he struck it, three tiny chicks scuried 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 her 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 remained steadfast.  Because she had been willing to die, 
>those under the cover of her wings would live.
>
>"He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt
>thou trust."  (Psalm 91:4)
