Lighthearted the Listener

Bridge "... you will end up living under a bridge." I already do: The bridge between heaven and earth; The bridge between God and man; The bridge between what was and what will be—      that is, what is; that is, today. Today, I live under a bridge. His name is Jesus, Son of Man and Son of God. The bridge hangs upon cross beams; it beams with light. Under its almighty shadow, here I dwell.      This bridge, this cross, he hangs and we hang out. You say I will live under a bridge. You are partly right. More fitting is the truth in full: I live under God's bridge, today.      Today— not only under, but in the end dying on it with him,      With him, in him, touching the wounds of God and man— today. Under the bridge, On the cross, In him, he meets me in the tent, That's where my life is,      Today, in paradise, I live with him whose kingdom comes...  ... on earth, even as it is in heaven.  --- Luke 9:58 ...
