Two Views on the 35W Bridge Collapse

Jess and I found out about the 35W bridge collapse while we were at a meeting at church. When I was going to the U of M, I lived in Dinkytown, very close to the bridge. I have driven the bridge hundreds of times. Jess and I immediately began calling family and friends to see if they were okay, and they were. It was a scary moment, though.

In times like this, people often wonder how God could let a disaster like this happen if He is both all-powerful and all-good. While not getting into the full answer to this good question (maybe I'll talk about that in another post), here are links to the views of two prominent Twin Cities pastors on why the 35W bridge collapsed:

I won't tell you which one I agree more with. If you really want to know, post a comment or email me and I'll tell you.

Peace,
