Tonight my mom called me during dinner to tell me about the bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis. I turned on CNN and was terrified by what I saw. I have had a great fear of bridges all my life. I grew up in the St. Louis area, actually across the river in Cahokia, IL. I had to cross a bridge a lot since all our family and my dads place of work was in St. Louis. As I child I always prayed before going across for safe passage. And now my worst fears seem to becoming true.
Just a week or so ago I took a small trip to northern IL with my husband and we crossed a long bridge so high it made my stomach turn. He always laughs at me when I close my eyes to pray (when I'm not driving). Well tonight he said he was sorry for always teasing me about that.
It just seems so weird, because yesterday while eating lunch at our favorite local Mexican restaurant we views the bridge collapse in California. And I was glad to hear the reporters say that there didn't seem to be any deaths. And now today another bridge collapses. This one much much worse.
Please pray with me for all those affected by these tragedies.
