In 238 BCE the Romans started building roads with cobblestone. This innovation was such a vast improvement over packed dirt that they ultimately built over 400,000 kilometers of road using this technique. Before the use of cobblestone, pathways developed ruts and became mired in mud in the winter and early spring. By using cobblestone, roads resisted ruts and gave horses and other pack animals a firm footing year-round. Yet despite their functionality and seeming beauty from a distance, these stone paved roads offered a bone jarring ride.
You can use the analogy of cobblestones, when comparing your spiritual life with that of others. It is easy, given enough distance, to think that while you travel an uneven path, others experience a journey that is smooth and serine. Yet, everyone’s spiritual journey is replete with its own ups and downs, as well as various joys and sorrows. Fortunately, there are practical steps you can take to diminish this unevenness so you can experience a smoother pathway to enlightenment.
Join Reverend Dennis Ashley this Sunday for a lesson that offers ways to even out your spiritual path.
