life and death

This morning I spied two vultures high in a dead tree, overlooking my favorite pond.  It struck me that two creatures who live by feeding on dead creatures find their best vantage point to spot meals in a dead tree...providing a clear view by virtue of having no leafy branches like a tower.  The Lord provides life from death and finds purpose in every aspect of life's cycle.  Death from life...life from death.  He is ruler over all.

1 Samuel 2:
The Lord gives both death and life;
    he brings some down to the grave but raises others up.
