What's Going On

ANDREAS, Pa. — Contract workers repairing a stretch of roadway paved straight over a dead deer that one official says was hard to miss. Do what? Pave over a deer, I guess it wasn’t their job to remove deer their job was to pave the highway. Have no fear this wasn’t the decision of one man but 14. All 14 members of the state Department of Transportation crew responsible for paving a deer in Schuylkill County have been disciplined. Excuse me it was only 13; I didn’t want you to think that they were out there without any supervision. The foreman and 13 crew members were all responsible for this decision. I really don’t know what’s going on in Pennsylvania?? A Pennsylvania Department of Transportation official says a crew couldn't avoid painting over a dead raccoon when they put new double-yellow lines on a western Pennsylvania road last week. 

This may seem unbelievable and it is but before we get too quick in pointing the finger to those who actually pave over obstacles in the road let’s ask ourselves do we pave over problems in our own life? God doesn’t want you and I to pave over problems. In the Bible God tells us to repair the problems don’t let them take root deal with them while they are still small. We are told that in the book of Ephesians.
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Let’s not think or act as if we never get angry for we all do from time to time but God says in your anger don’t sin. We can do that by learning to keep our mouth shut; that will control our tongue.

Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Proverbs 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

If you don‘t say it you won’t have to go fix it. This anger will only give the enemy a foothold.                    

Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

 It’s important that you and I don’t pave over problems, for one day just as this deer and raccoon had to be dealt with so will the problems we pave over.
