Old highway bridge demolished

Old highway bridge demolished

As the new comes, so goes the old. The old Highway 8, which began construction in the 1950s over Wright Patman Lake on State Highway 8, was demolished. The demolition was originally scheduled for the 27th but was moved to February 28th. Texas Department of Transportation contractor, Longview Bridge and Road, enforced a safety zone during work so no public access was allowed in the area. It became a necessity because according to TxDOT, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers required the bridge removal after the new bridge was built. The contractor has been working on its removal since November of last year.

Is God Dead?

Is God Dead?

Last week, we explored a common type of resurrection theory by looking at the offering of the atheist David Mirsch. Picking up the story from last week, the plan, Mirsch explains, was to utilize common herbal drugs of the time (namely Shephard’s Purse, Mandrake, Myrrh, and possibly Opium) to aid in Jesus’ survivability during the crucifixion. This concoction was then slipped into the “sour wine” container at the crucifixion site. Mirsch argues that Jesus first refused the sour wine offered him on the Cross because enough time had not passed (Matt 27:34).
