Today and yesterday I was struck with the speed of life moving on. On Wednesday we were all struck by the bridge collapse and today television is back to it's normal programming and it's life as usual. I know it's the natural progression of things and people must return to a state of normal. But, my heart also breaks for those who will never know the same normal again. Barry's co-working is one of the 8 still missing, assumed to be trapped in the river. I am focused with thoughts of his wife and family who will never again see their loved one on this earth. I pray for them and for all of Minneapolis to turn to God in this time of sorrow, but I am having a hard time doing that myself. I also have a lot of anger towards those who decided the money didn't need to be allocated for bridge repair at this time. I just hope and pray that precautions will be put in place so this never happens again. But it still doesn't change the fate of the 100's affected by this catastrophe.
And yet, I too find myself moving on back to life as usual as Barry and I prepare for an ultrasound later today. Mixed in with the thoughts of lives lost are thoughts of the little life growing inside of me. Today we may be able to know if it's a girl or a boy...

Hi Angie,
I had heard that a Cappella employee was still missing. The whole disaster hits close to home when it's in our own backyard.I've been thinking of you and Barry and hope the ultrasound went well on Friday. Talk soon!
The bridge collapse was so devastating and my sympathy goes out to all of those that were touched by it. I was blessed to have all of my family in the cities safe and can only imagine what people are going through who have loved ones and friends missing. So glad you are blogging again Angie! love ya!
