For Americans, the Mississippi Bridge plays a vital role in connecting the state’s agriculture-based economy. The 27.6 kilometer long bridge connects the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The bridge was built by the Minnesota Department of Transportation in 1967 with a height of 64 feet or about 20 meters.
However, the eight-lane bridge collapsed on August 1, 2007, during rush hour and many vehicles were passing on it, killing 13 people and injuring 145 people. It is suspected that the bridge collapsed not because of an act of terror, but because the construction of the bridge has become brittle with age. The bridge, which was forty years old, finally collapsed.
“… for everything there is a time, for everything under heaven there is a time.” Time passes so quickly. No one could stand it. Throughout the process with time, one can enjoy the dynamics of life. There are happy times, there are also sad times. However, God always makes everything beautiful in its time.
While the breath is in the body, using time responsibly is a must. Is not everything will continue to change Philosopher Heraclitus gave a wise expression, “Nothing remains in this world except change.”
Today we are still breathing, tomorrow not necessarily. Today we are still working valiantly, tomorrow we don’t know. Therefore, let us submit ourselves to Him before it collapses like a Mississippi bridge.
