Just over a year ago on August 1, I was interning at PFM and stunned to learn the news of the 35W bridge collapse.

Well, today is the day of new beginnings. The brand-new 35W bridge was opened to traffic at 5 this morning, and now is probably one of the safest and most state-of-the-art bridges in the world.

I find it so interesting that disasters, while terrible and catastrophic in nature, often bring about the most significant and positive changes. God does work in mysterious ways.
