I heard a story once about a frog. As the story goes, if you put a frog in a pot of boiling water, he will immediately jump out. That frog ain't stupid! He knows that staying in a pot of boiling water will NOT be pleasant. HOWEVER, if you put the same frog in a pot of lukewarm water, and gradually turn up the heat, that po frog is gonna boil to death.
The moral of the story? Well, I've just been thinking lately about how we let things into our lives; whatever our demons may be. They are small at first; and then they fester. Then they get to be larger than life. They get to be larger than we can imagine. And then we can do nothing about it.
Friends, take it from someone who is in the boiling water. Nip it in the bud while you can. Whatever your ill is. Whatever your weakness is. Whatever grabs hold of you. DO NOT think that you can control it. If it is a problem area you will wind up a dead frog.
