A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, August 14th

Good Morning, God,

Over the years, Lord, we have enjoyed the different uses for the word "eagle." An eagle is a great job on a golf hole; an eagle is a member of a civic club; one may have an "eagle eye"; a spacecraft has been named "The Eagle"; our national bird is the majestic American Bald Eagle.

But none of these uses match the pride and accomplishment of a young man who has come up through the Boy Scouting ranks and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout.

Generally Speaking, Lord, an Eagle Scout is a top-notch young man. When we know an Eagle Scout, we know a person of high integrity, morals, persistence, kindness, honesty… and a few other adjectives. Many men who have accomplished much humbly claim to be an Eagle Scout.

Gracious God, thank you for the young man and their families who know Scouting's highest achievement.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
