Please pray

The bridge crossing over the Mississippi River, on the main highway into Minneapolis, collapsed last night. It was right in the middle of rush hour and the bridge was bumper to bumper with cars and trucks. There are deaths, missing persons, and lots of injuries. Please pray for the families as they mourn the loss of their loved ones, the search efforts, the medical teams, and anyone else involved in this disaster.

What a shock. I don't know how many times we have driven back and forth on that bridge without a thought to its safety or stability. I was telling Aaron last night, that we barely even recognize it as a bridge as we're driving because bridges have become so common and there is so little fear involved in crossing a bridge. Wow.
