About Eagle's NEST name & logo...
Growing up, I always had a love for Eagles, especially Bald Eagles. And just as much, I have always had a fascination with nests … from eagles or hawks, any large nest to me, was fascinating.
Even more importantly, the imagery that opens up the book of Genesis (Ch. 1, vs. 2) shows the Spirit of God hovering over this newly forming creation. The New International Version (NIV) Bible Commentary says it this way, “like an eagle ‘hovering’ over its young with great concern”. (For complimentary phrasing and meaning, see Deuteronomy 32:10-11 and Isaiah 31:5)
From the very beginning, God showed great concern for his creation – we should too!
Joy and Peace!
