Cooked Frogs

The frogs are in the pot. The gas is connected, the flame is low but coming stronger. Soon the cool temperature of the water will begin to change and a flush of warmth will make everything seem cozy. The frogs are concerned, but the temperature is just about right. Everyone gets comfortable in a hot tub when the temperature is just right. Over the course of the coming year the heat will rise. Those who speak “frog” will assure the pot dwellers that everything continues to be “cool” (just right). The frogs will wait – November will come – the pot will be boiling, but it’s OK, really. The frogs are no longer concerned.

1 Peter 4:7-8: . . .be clear-headed and disciplined for prayer. Above all keep your llove for one another at full strength. . .
