Come on in, the water's great!



The story about a frog in a pot of boiling water is an insightful metaphor, isn't it?

For those who don't know this one: you put a frog into a pot of boiling water and he will immediately hop out. If you put him into a pot of tepid water and turn on the heat, he will get cozy and eventually end up frog-soup.

This, my friends, is very deep.

A pastor said something akin in a recent sermon: "Do fish know they are in water?"

I've always loved that saying too. A good reminder to try and be more aware of the situations that we've are so comfortable in that we don't even notice.
