Canal Project - 4

Since I had already posted the Mr. Mai’s story, this last canal entry is out of order.

Underneath the Chinese roof is an enormous LED screen. It fills the whole space and is not lacking on brightness. It is used as an outdoor theater during the daytime. Most billboards are like this over here. That technology has not caught on in the states yet. Some street signs are even that way here.

Here we come to another bridge and a very strange building.

You think this buuilding looks strange in the daytime; you should see it at night when the lights are on inside.

This is the last bridge across the canal; different.

Finally we have walked the length and are at the smaller lake.

Here is the six lane bridge that goes across the smaller lake. At this point I am about two thirds the way across. Back there in the haze is where the project is. Most of the haze is from burning rice fields and is a serious problem every fall. On a bad day you can’t even see the buildings over there. The brownish color stone down the walkway is for blind people to follow. It is very hard to walk on.

Tearing down old buildings, digging the canal, building all the bridges and new road, installing the park type walkway and all the buildings across the canal cost a bundle, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. It is nothing to level a mile or more of city to build a modern city in its place. There seems to be no end to money here where in America there seems to be no end to debt. We seem to be doing something wrong and that blame I place squarely on the shoulders of Christians (2 Chronicles 7:14). We possess God given resources that we haven’t been using and as a result we live like the world and it is headed toward judgment. Don’t forget the Judgment Seat of Christ is coming up for believers.
