A True Story - March 08, 2007
Years ago, a story appeared in a Northwestern U.S. newspaper concerning a truck driver who, on a foggy night, plunged his rig down a river gorge where he'd expected to find a familiar bridge. Miraculously uninjured, the shaken trucker managed to crawl from the wreckage and make his way back up to the road. Frantically waving his arms and screaming at approaching vehicles, he did all he could to warn them of the impending danger. "The bridge is out! Turn around!" Most of the sparse traffic on this foggy night ignored his pleas, considering him a wacko -- to their own peril.
Such is the situation many in our modern world face. Many have actually experienced the pitfalls this life holds and know which way is the wrong direction. But their warnings go unheeded. In fact, most are reviled or ridiculed for having the arrogance to tell others which is the wrong way. But what if the bridge really is out? Are you sure that the road you travel won't leave you without a bridge at your journey's end?
