Looking ahead at the New Year

2nd house

1st house

Yes, indeed it has been a while since we have posted anything. Time goes so fast..... The holidays were good, and we have settled into the New Year nicely here at The Bridge. We have been preparing for the upcoming year and schedules and so on. It has caused us to look back a bit and remember how much has happened in the last several years. When we started in the first house we weren't even sure how long "The Bridge" would last. It has been apparent that God's hand has been upon us the entire time. As we transitioned to a larger house to hold more men we've seen many people come through. The hearts of all involved in The Bridge are for everyone to make a radical change. One persons addiction affects many people, family, friends, coworkers, financial institutions and on and on. Thank you to all who have a part in helping to make The Bridge possible, to the Board of Directors, our many volunteers, our monthly donors and most of all to God. It's amazing be able to watch the transition in a persons life who really wants to change. Thank you everyone for making it possible to have a place where men can come and know God and make changes that last.

Bridge Update

We are in full swing right now in preparing the our yearly fundraising event. But, we did get a little break last week and had some time away to watch a baseball game. It was a great getaway. In spite of the Padres banner we were at a Giants game. However, one guy brought his brother and cousin. They got to experience first had what it feels like to go against the flow. They weren't popular in the stands. But, they maintained their love of the Padres in spite of being among Giants fans. If only that same perseverance would get carried into everyday life. In your ever day life do you stand for Jesus and what's right, or do you compromise when it's tough?

Tragic Fire

Last night there was a tragic fire down the street from The Bridge. Several residents, Mike and Michele, along with many neighbors watched as the apartment building burned. The Fire Crews on seen did an amazing job. I don't know all the details of the fire, but what we do know is it was horrible to watch everything burning so quickly. It was also a very clear reminder of how we really don't know what tomorrow will bring. I don't know how many people were directly affected by this fire, but in an instant all of their lives were changed. Their stuff was gone.... This fire was such reminder of the message Mike taught at the Monday night Most Excellent Way weekly meeting. At the meeting he reminded us that our value should be not be in the things we posses rather in our relationships. First our relationship with Jesus, then our relationships with our families, and others. No matter what a great job these firefighters did fighting this fire, the stuff inside was consumed so quickly. Where are your priorites? Are you focusing on only your stuff? Or are you spending time on building the right relationships?
