I traveled up Highway 97 this past weekend to visit my family for Christmas. The roads were good the whole way. It was overcast all day with some rain and fog but no snow or ice and temperatures were above freezing.
The photo is of Beebe Bridge which crosses the Columbia at Chelan Falls. The river here is a reservoir called Lake Entiat that backs up behind Rocky Reach Dam which is just north of Wenatchee.
Bridges are kind of shortcuts that help us reach our destination faster. The Bible talks about not trying to take shortcuts to God!
“Don’t look for shortcuts to God! The market is flooded with surefire easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life – to God – is vigorous and requires total attention!”
Matthew 7-13 (The Message)
