35W Bridge Collapes

Yesterday at 6pm the 35W bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River. I cross that bridge every day to go to and from work. I came home early yesterday around 2pm crossing that bridge. On a normal day I would have crossed the bridge anytime from 4:30 to 5:30. I have recently written a paper on virtue and I comment on courage and the collapse:

The news coverage of this event has been remarkable. Many people who escaped unharmed began to help others who were trapped in their vehicles. When these men and women were being interviewed they said it was a natural instinct to help the others. I think it is fascinating that courage is somehow ingrained in us in times of tragedy. Of course tragedy can also bring the worst out of people, often times pointing fingers and those responsible and even anger at God when such event occur.

Pray that many will turn to Christ and remember life is a vapor.

"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making
the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be
foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is . . . giving thanks
always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ"
(Ephesians 5:15-17,20-21).
