crossing over

It was a tragic occurrence. A Minnesota bridge collapsed this week. Unfortunately, there were some fatalities.

.

I gather from the news reports that this was abrupt and unexpected. When it happened, the victims were just rush-hour commuters crossing over a bridge.

.

This incident serves as a reminder of the uncertain timing of a certain event. To put it bluntly, our death is inevitable. It is a bridge we must all cross over, but we don’t know when.

.

Here is my question. If your appointed time came suddenly today, how certain are you about a hopeful prospect on the other side? Why or why not?
