Well, I have not blogged in a long time. So, I will try to get back at this thing... Right now, I am sitting at a church's coffee shop in Longview, TX called Bridge 281. It is located off of Highway 281. I don't know why it's really called a "bridge" because it's not even on a bridge or an overpass. They probably have their reason for it, but I am going to make up my own reason for it as I sit here.
When I think of a bridge relating to Christianity, I think of the typical picture of us standing on one side of the valley and God is standing on the other side of the valley. The only way we can get across to God is by a bridge (also known as a cross for this picture). The way the cross is formed was when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. This now allows us to get to God when we ask for forgiveness and choose to follow Him.
So now, I realize that they are using this place for any one to come to to study, hang out with friends, have coffee, tea... whatever - it's a place to hang out and this church is branching out to the community and inviting them into a place where God is visible. By calling this place a bridge, people might ask why they are doing this, well I think they are doing this so that they can help make that bridge (the Cross, Jesus Christ) visible for everyone!
Well, that is about it for now. Hopefully I will find time and keep blogging.
And do not judge me for my drawing skills on paint.

The last sentence got to me because I was going to leave a witty comment about your paint skills but I won't judge because I couldn't do much better in all honesty.
