This poem is about a bird who struggles with doubt. Do I dare to try to leave the nest? Will my wings carry me? Can the wind really be trusted?

People love to use the laws of nature to show that the Biblical account is inaccurate, despite the fact that the Bible clearly shows that God is able and willing to bend and even break those laws periodically on a whim. In the end, it still boils down to one thing. Do I believe, and can God be trusted?

This article describes some of that evidence and makes a case that Jesus is in fact the Son of God.
