Backing Up

I really don't get it. Since we built our house in 1997, we've enjoyed a meticulously paved State Route as an address. One morning last week, we awoke to the sound of a road crew using jackhammers to remove the edge-line reflectors. By days end our address was a chip & seal - over pavement country road. Go figure. Why would anyone tar-glue gravel to the surface of an asphalt road?

Kind of reminds me of the times we Christians take what we have in Christ and cover it with our old ways or past behaviors. Maybe we hit a bump in our spiritual road and instead of allowing Jesus to renew us, we glue some black tar and gravel from our past or sinful nature to our lives.
Makes about as much sense as chip & seal over pavement. ???!!!
