Marathon Race Results

You might not be able to see in this picture, but if you click on the picture to make it bigger, you'll see the only (2) entries from Pacific Grove in the Metro Silicon Valley Marathon...along with their official race results. There will be more pictures and stories to come, but I just wanted you to see that what Mike and Louie set out to do, they have completed. Well done, good and faithful runners. You may now enter into 'REST'!

Coke Taste Test

Taste Test

It's the Real Thing! Do you remember that slogan? Tonight at The Bridge there will be a taste test to see if people really do know what the real thing is. A test of taste. How is it that someone could boldly proclaim that they can pick out the one true taste of Coca Cola amongst a field of impostors or alternatives? It's only because they have known and are familiar with what 'The Real Thing' is.

Do you realize that this is what our faith should show? If something comes along that is counterfeit, those who have had 'The Real Thing', a relationship with the One True and Living God of the Universe, to know the Second Deity of the Trinity and the way He speaks into our hearts, the One that knows the hairs on our head and the number of our days...are you getting the picture? We should know what our God, our Father is really like. We should be so familiar with Him to such an intimate level that if something came up and people were saying 'This is from the Lord', we should be able to say 'This is the Real Thing!'

My prayer is that The Bridge Guys could discern and proclaim 'The Real Thing' to those around them, and that Jesse isn't going to choose RC Coca Cola over Coke!

What's on Your Wish List?

What's on your Wish List? Do I have your attention? Well The Bridge has a Wish List, and believe it not, 'cars' are on the list!...along with wood, commercial fridges and dairy products! Quite the combination, I'll admit, but the fact of the matter is, they have real, tangible needs that you can fill. Take a look to the left hand column and you'll see. Maybe you have some of these items lying around, and know that The Bridge could really use them. Who knows, maybe you have a car that you've been thinking about donating. What a blessing to give out of the abundance that you have been given! Take a moment and think about how you might be able to bless this ministry with things you might not even think are necessities. And if you happen to have an extra F430 Ferrari laying about, I'm sure that Mike would know what to do with it!

Fund Raiser '08

Well, the day has come and gone, and the memories flood our minds. It was quite a presentation of what has gone on in the last year and a half of what The Bridge is all about....restoration. Testimony after testimony was given of lives changed because of the vision that Mike and Michele have for struggling men. Men trapped by their addictions and lifestyles that rip apart their lives, families and everything around them. Many were present to give account of the generosity and servant hood of The Bridge and it's men. Be looking for more updates of the evening, including pictures of this wonderful event. We've gotten so used to coming to this blog site and seeing the very familiar 'count-down' till the event....kinda miss it now. But we'll always be looking forward to what God is doing in the lives of these men. Stay tuned!
