“Free Indeed” began after taking photos of this eagle at a local sanctuary for birds of prey. I didn't know that it would lead me to consider what freedom means so deeply and on so many levels. This eagle holds a tag that says "free" which can mean both "not bound by anything" and "without cost". It's done on purpose to be a reminder that true freedom comes with a cost. We have soldiers that have fought for our freedom in America and a Savior who died for us. This image is a reminder that my freedom was purchased with a cost when Christ died for me and through Him I am free like this eagle to flourish within the parameters God created and someday I can experience true freedom with Him in heaven.
"Who the Son sets free, is free indeed." John 8:36
