Bridge Integrity

I've been thinking a lot about integrity these days.  You know, like when you drive across the Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick to PEI you expect the bridge will hold you up and not collapse.  Or, like when a baby is born, you expect a parent to do what ever it takes to creating a loving and healthy atmosphere for it.  I expect the rope, which Jesse and Leslie use to cross the gully into Terabithia not to collapse.  I also expect my students to not watch the movie version of this novel until we've finished reading the novel - as I have instructed several times.  Have integrity and you will find your life to have much more meaning - just like Jesse is beginning to discover now that he has found a true friend.

  5. Bridges are some of the most scary places I've been.Over the span of how many years will they hold?How much can they carry?Some are faulty, some are not.You must think about past expirencies.
