bridge of the Gods

This is the bridge of the Gods.  It connects the states of Oregon and Washington as it crosses the Columbia River.  Here we go.

The nice part about this bridge is that it is made of steel and is wide open on the sides.  This provides for a great view of the river below as you move across the bridge.

This is where I went to church today.  The sanctuary is very contemporary in style with the upper walls composed mostly of windows.  The individual panes of glass are pastel colors.  There is a very light and airy feel to the interior of the sanctuary.  As you look forward you can see through the clear glass windows that overlook a very natural setting of flowers and greenery.

I got to church late.  I thought the service started at 11:00 a.m. but it actually started at 10:30 a.m. so I missed all of the choir singing and the scripture verses.  I did get there right before the sermon started so I was able to hear the message.  I enjoyed my half hour of church today.
