Julie M shared this with me when the Winona bridge was closed – I love it

I was thinking about how much the bridge being closed changes everything!! Last night I asked a Wisconsin graduating kid what his college plans were and he answered, “well…..I WAS gonna go to Winona State but with the bridge closed…” so now he’s looking into La Crosse instead! And last night Ed and I didn’t attend our clown club meeting in Winona either because of the bridge. The club emailed and said no one on the MN side can make the parade this Sunday in Independence, WI and asked if Timber and Jubilee could, but we have plans already. College changes, parade changes. I also am not certain I’ll keep any cleaning jobs there. I’ll bet Ashley Furniture is missing a few MN employees too. Lots of changes due to this one bridge!!!! Then I thought of how Jesus is a bridge to God. And I got a mental picture of someone walking across the shadow of the cross to God. That picture came from a video of Sara Groves actually called “I just showed up for my own life” Anyway, I thought of how we didn’t know the day and hour that bridge would suddenly be out of service for us and how now our lives have changed. So I thought about how Jesus is still calling people to cross over from death to life and how they put him off taking for granted that the choice will always be there. One day the bridge will be out. Changes everything doesn’t it?
