It's quite eerie and beautiful.<BR/><BR/>Lethbridge has a "Bridge", the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lethbridge_Viaduct" REL="nofollow">High Level Bridge</A>. While mostly inaccessible to the public, some have still jumped off (at least one while I've lived in the city).

(I have worked with the mentally ill and see the despair and the hopelessness that "the system" offers them). And yet, the film overwhelms me .... "No one can sever something God put in place" ...and how sad that they never view God as the answer or the cure....that His Love is THE Love that rescues, and restores and regenerates a broken life. They know not of this Wondrous Love, or if they do they have left it to replace it with despair. A selfish and sad thing to do. An unforgiveable sin...please...how many of us live in His will. <BR/>Thanks for bringing this to light for me. <BR/><BR/>I can almost imagine...people's depression and disillusionment can take them so far from "here" that "there" is where they land. The phone call....that is the one thing I cannot imagine....not at all...nope, it cannot register. I have seen the life sucked out of people that have received such a call though....Unbearable...almost.<BR/><BR/>In Him,In Christ Alonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126695063065491937noreply@blogger.com
