Tale - a Bear, A Bridge and God
This bridge bridge
is on the Old Donner Pass Highway. It has a spectacular view of Donner
Lake on Route 40.
A bear was walking across Rainbow Bridge ( Old Hwy 40 at
Donner Summit, Truckee) on a Saturday when two cars, also crossing the
bridge, scared the bear into jumping over the edge of the bridge. Somehow
the bear caught the ledge and was able to pull itself to safety.
Authorities decided that nothing could be done to help
Saturday night so they returned Sunday morning to find the bear sound
asleep on the ledge.
After securing a net under the bridge the bear was
tranquilized,
fell into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of
the net. (SEE BELOW for the rest of the pictures).
There is a moral to this story; this old bear made a wrong
move and found he was hanging by his nails. Somehow he was able to pull
himself up onto the ledge where he saw he was in a very bad, impossible
situation and what did he do? Yep, he took a nap and sure enough, God
took care of the situation while he was asleep.
So when confronted with a bad situation, sometimes the
best solution is to stop worrying and let God take care of the rest. I
think I'm going to take a nap right now. God is on the job.

Blessed be the Lord
God of Israel, for He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His
people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us.
~ Psalm 14:1 (CEV)
