Lately, it seems I have been using the phrase…”Well, I guess we’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it.”

But now, I wonder.  Do you really have to cross those bridges?

People do different things with bridges.  Some people burn them.
Others find an alternate route.
And still others will make an attempt to get across, even if goes against their better judgement.

Today, as I drove home, I passed the same old “Road Closed Ahead” sign that I’ve been driving by for about a year or so.  It hit me that the road is closed, because the bridge is no longer passable.  It isn’t safe.  It is broken.  No one in their right mind would try to drive over it.  Barriers have been put in place to keep people from making any attempt of crossing that bridge.

And when it is that clear, and THAT apparent…. perhaps you just shouldn’t cross that particular bridge when you come to it.

You see.  I don’t know how to fix it.  I’ll have to rely on a power greater than I…..  to do that big whopper of a job.

So.  There it is.  I’ll have to find another way.

Or perhaps… maybe I need to find a different creek.
