Putting the Soul
back in Psychology!
We are like the frog who enjoys jumping repeatedly into a nice light warm body of water, where unbeknownst to the frog, the body of water is in a giant pot on a hot stove. Like the frog, we ignorantly believe that because it is enjoyable, the water we are choosing to swim in will never negatively affect us, but rather we will always feel the same satisfaction as when we first jumped in. The water is slowly getting hotter and hotter, but it's so slow and gradual that we don't even notice because we immediately distract ourselves with the plethora of bad coping we have easy access to, while we blame any experiences of psychological and/or psychosomatic physical discomfort as caused by the bad fly we ate for dinner, our brains that we were born with, our spouse acting like an ugly toad, or our disobedient tad poles. Until the day we either decide we have suffered enough and are willing to try something different to help ourselves by following Christ our Savior out of the pot, or we become scalded and boiled to death, while still blaming the fly, our brain, and our disobedient tad poles with our dying breath, becoming someone else's frog leg dinner.
