Covered Bridges & More

This is a picture of a covered bridge near Bennington, VT.  Folks like me from Nebraska think of covered bridges as quaint and romantic.  However, the reason they built bridges with a cover over them was so that they would last longer.  It was all about practicality.  Guess what? It worked.  Most of the covered bridges are between 150 and 200 years old! The scriptures declare that God’s banner (covering) over us is love.  God’s desire is to protect us and to preserve us, that we may abide with God forever!
