It seems that someone reported a suspicious car around 4am yesterday morning. The police found the car to be stolen, and the suspect took off on foot. Trying to evade the officers, he climbed over a 12 foot fence, topped with barbed wire, and jumped down on the other side.
Sounds like an agile person, but his agility did not help in this case. The fence he had scaled was boundary of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Facility (FLETC). Not a good choice.
This suspect was looking for a way to stay independent, but found the opposite.
We are all looking for that freedom. Freedom to be and do what we want.
But there are fences that we don't need to climb over.
Sometimes we seek to flee from God and His commandments. We don't realize that these roadblocks may not just restrict us from some things, but actually are good for us. They are "love" barriers, not punishment fences.
They may also keep us from jumping straight from the frying pan into the fire.
