The Bridge is Out

When one knows that the bridge ahead is out, one warns family, friends, even strangers of the danger that lies beyond.








Mom tells of a great grandfather who threw his theology books (and Bible?)into the Atlantic as he sailed from Germany to America.

Deuteronomy 5:9
I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found


Joy to the World
--music, G. F. Handel
--lyrics, I. Watts, 1719
