What do Birds, Planes, and Christ Have in Common?

This is a Brown Pelican taken from our porch as we were staying in Point Clear, Alabama. The one below is  a Blue Heron. Don takes so many wonderful pictures of birds--but I took these!

At this moment in our lives, "wings" seem to define us.  (Who else goes to Hawaii and comes home with tons of bird pictures and only a few of scenery that Hawaii is famous for?) Wings of birds, wings of planes, and may I adopt the symbolic wings of angels that the world uses?  [We think our children and grandchildren are angels! :)] Then there is the all important role that Christ plays in our lives with using the symbolic wings again:

   2 Nephi 25:13 Behold, they will ^acrucify him; and after he is laid in a^bsepulchre for the space of ^cthree days he shall ^drise from the dead, with healing in his wings; and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God. Wherefore, my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him, for I have ^eseen his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name.

Though we don't believe Christ literally has wings, we know He has the power to heal.

Isaiah 40: 31 But they that ^await upon the Lord shall ^brenew their^cstrength; they shall mount up with wings as ^deagles; they shall^erun, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

We have a private family blog, but I felt I wanted to do my own public one based on Elder Ballard's suggestion that we use the Internet for good things: " Make sure that the choices you make in the use of new media are choices that expand your mind, increase your opportunities, and feed your soul... As I said in the beginning, the power of words is incredible. Let your voice be heard in this great cause of the gospel of Jesus Christ."  These two sentences came from a talk he gave at a commencement in BYU-Hawaii in December of 2007.Elder Ballard

Hopefully, I can stay motivated and walk and not faint!
