Days gone by

...found this on a website recently and thought that I'd post it. Hope it brings back memories for all. If you feel like you've been left in the dark about this, stay tuned, there will be a follow up about it... -

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!

Look Ma!!!.... New Shoes!

Mike and Louie are continuing their frantic pace of training for the upcoming Silicon Valley Marathon, scheduled for October 26th. But, what good would all that training be without a pair of flashy new shoes to carry them to certain fame and glory? A trip to Del Monte Center and one of the Peninsula's fine retail establishments provided these super sneakers, designed to carry our fearless warriors at great speed on their 26.2 mile quest. So, if you are wondering what that mysterious flash of light was that went whizzing by your PG home in the early or late hours of the day, now you know....

The Poll Is Over

After weeks of collecting votes, I've decided to close the polls on this....and the winner is...you guessed it! Weight Watchers wins the poll. So, Nate, if you had any wagers on the 'weight' of this study, you better reconsider. Maybe if there had been more visitors to the site that wanted 'Fries Animal Style' or a 'Flying Dutchman', the results would have turned out different....at any rate, Mike still wants the guys to be fit, both spiritually and physically. So take off your lobster bib, put on your running shoes, and say goodbye to that 'Bridge Belly'!

In-N-Out Vs.Weight Watchers

Rumor has it that Pastor Nate has been praying for an In-N -Out Burger on the Peninsula. This will haunt me all of my days. Men coming into The Bridge are first Spiritually fed, and soon begin to fill their plates with various types of foods.....three squares a day....and then some. This results in what has become known as 'The Bridge Belly'. Not a very flattering addition! So as for me, In-N-Out Burger would be just one more addiction to fight. So I say - "In-N-Out Burger?!! - Not in my back yard!" Because of establishments like this, I begin to pray for more Weight Watchers on the Peninsula. So, who's side are you on? Pastor Nate's or mine? - Please vote on the left column, or by leaving a post or comment. This is simply a battle of good vs. evil. Thank you for your vote. - Mike C.
