Making Allowances for One Another-My Rhymes and Reasons 10.25.24
Making Allowances for One Another with Greg
Today’s talk is about making allowances for one another with Greg
Well, it’s a Friday and My Rhymes and Reasons for today. We’ve made it through another week, and we’ve started each day together, and that’s been beautiful. I’m still here at Lake Union. There’s so much to capture here that I decided it wasn’t necessary to be in such a hurry on this day. We’ve had Sun breaks, and now the dark clouds from the West are beginning to roll in underneath the George Washington Memorial Bridge I showed you yesterday.
What we call the Aurora Bridge is another bridge. This is the Fremont Bridge, built in 1917, 107 years old, 197, and here it is doing its thing. The Fremont Bridge is a drawbridge, and when vessels that have a mast too high to be able to clear the bridge are approaching. They sound their horn, which alerts the bridge tender to the fact that it needs to open up to let them pass. It is fun to watch. Perhaps you have a drawbridge in your city or your state.
You don’t see many of them anymore because a lot of the new construction of bridges allows for what space is needed for vessels on the water to pass beneath. It’s a good illustration for making allowances for one another. There’s somebody very special to our family. It’s my wife’s mother, Norma Steven, 93 years old, a retired missionary with Wickliffe Bible translators. She and her husband Hugh continued to live independently in Orange County.
