Reframing The Picture
June 5, 2014
Read: Deuteronomy 32:7-12
For 3 months I had a ringside seat or should I say a birds-eye viewof Gods amazing handiwork. Ninety feet above the floor of Norfolk Botanical Garden, workers installed a webcam focused on the nest of a family of bald eagles, and online viewers were allowed to watch.
When the eggs hatched, Mama and Papa Eagle were attentive to their offspring, taking turns hunting for food and guarding the nest. But one day when the eaglets still looked like fuzzballs with beaks, both parents disappeared. I worried that harm had come to them.
My concern was unfounded. The webcam operator enlarged the camera angle, and there was Mama Eagle perched on a nearby branch.
As I pondered this reframed picture, I thought of times when I have feared that God had abandoned me. The view in the forest heights of Virginia reminded me that my vision is limited. I see only a small part of the entire scene.
Moses used eagle imagery to describe God. As eagles carry their young, God carries His people (Deut. 32:11-12). Despite how it may seem, the Lord is not far from each one of us (Acts 17:27). This is true even when we feel abandoned.
Under His wings I am safely abiding;
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild,
Still I can trust HimI know He will keep me;
He has redeemed me and I am His child. Cushing
Because the Lord is watching over us, we dont have to fear the dangers around us.
Todays reading provides us with a wonderful template for instructing the next generation in the provision of God. The entire Song of Moses extends from Deuteronomy 31:3032:43. In it we see praise given for the God of Israel in spite of the nations periodic lapse into disobedience. In His good providence, God created for Himself a chosen people whom He has both redeemed and preserves. This theme of divine love that will not let go is to be reiterated to each new generation so that Gods covenant people may continue in relationship with their Creator and Sustainer. We learn from the New Testament that through Christs atoning work on the cross, this covenant has been extended to all who believe (Rom. 5:6-11).

It makes me sick too.
What really bothers me is that my Grand children will have to live in this new world and sometimes it seems there is nothing we can do to prevent it.
Some of the worst people in the world now control our government. I mean totally control it.

The day that Reagan died, I was attending a rail meeting in Yakima (WA) along with Libertina and a host of passenger rail advocates. I heard the news as I was preparing to enter I-82 to head north to Ellensburg where I would take I-90 to Seattle.
The radio stations in Yakima were respectful to Reagan, and there was genuine sorrow in his passing. But as I entered Snoqualmie Pass on I-90 and began to pick up the Seattle stations, the tone changed. There was joy in his death and ridicule for his record. The reaction of Englands young people to Thatchers death was very similar. I had to turn off the radio.
That summer I heard a wonderful story about Reagan from concert violinist Ida Levin at the Seattle Chamber Music Festival. Ida had appeared with pianist Rudolf Serkin in concert at the White House. Serkin was notorious for his stage fright before a concert. As an old actor, Reagan recognized the symptoms backstage and engaged Ida and Rudolf in conversation to calm him down. It worked. Ida was surprised to discover that Reagan knew her father, who was a California superior court judge. Reagan was tickled to find that the daughter of Judge Levin, a great jazz afficianado, was a classical violinist.
In 2007, I flew from Seattle to Los Angeles to attend the 70th birthday surprise party of my cousin and her husband. He had written for Bob Hope, Laugh In, Carol Burnett and others for decades.
A few days later, we went to the Reagan Library to see the Air Force One exhibit. The film about Reagan that we saw before going to the exhibit had some in the audience in tears. My cousins husband, the comedy writer, left the movie; he was an unrepentant Hollywood liberal.
I had lived in Simi Valley from 1993 to 1997 on the same hill as the Reagan Library, but just a few hundred feet lower by the Wood Ranch Golf Course. One thing I loved to do was drive up to the library, park and walk to the railing where a piece of the Berlin Wall stood. It was the perfect place to watch the sun set over Ventura County and disappear into the Pacific.
This time there was something new by that patch of ground: Reagans grave. I watched as some folks walked to the grave and turned back with tears in their eyes. I understood. I went over to the grave and gave the man my most profound thanks for his service.
Back at the house, I went into my cousins husbands study and found a framed script on the wall with lines for Reagan and Bob Hope. It was from Hopes 85th birthday special on NBC in 1988. It had lines scratched out and written over almost to the point of illegibility. I asked him what that was all about.
He had written the sketch for Hope and Reagan, and he had faxed the script to Reagan who was on Air Force One at the time and who was to record his lines from the plane. Hopes lines were to be recorded separately and edited together before show time. He knew that Reagan would have a problem with one particular joke, so he was not surprised when Reagan called him at home from Air Force One. For the next half hour, he and the President of the United States went over that joke again and again until it finally worked as intended. It was case of two comedy professionals of different political views working together to put the icing on the cake.
That script had pride of place in his study. The story was accompanied by a certain grudging respect for Reagan: one old pro to another.
