Double trouble

I long lived with the philosophy of an old man who once told me about the pills the doctor had prescribed that he take once a day: “If one will do me good, two will do me twice as much good.” In his own convoluted logic, that kind of thinking seemed to make sense. I have used that type of ridiculous reasoning about my own lifestyle many times in life. In reality, taking more than the Great Physician has prescribed isn’t better— it’s toxic and will eventually create problems which ultimately destroy our spiritual health.—Steve McVey, A Divine Invitation, electronic edition
