The Cracked Acorn: Am I Crazy?

“As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marveled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.” (Matthew 9:32-34)

One of our adopted sons was a delayed learning child and eligible for school programs that required him to meet with a psychiatrist and a psychologist, all needed for education.

Consider the following from WMAL Radio…Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in , “Roger Goes to the Psychiatrist.”

“Good morning, Roger and how are you?”

“I am happy and really love life and I can’t really explain it to you !”

“Well this is most encouraging and I can see that your visits are paying off for you, and is there something that has given you this new lease on life?”

“Yes, doctor! It is because I have fallen in love with someone.”

“Oh this is good news, with a woman?”

“Yes doctor and her name is Stephanie!”

“What a coincidence, Roger, that’s the name of my wife.”

“I know and I can’t stand the thought of you touching her, and I want to kill you, NOW!”

“You are doing so well and I understand your love for my wife, but this is most inconvenient that you want to kill me , at this moment; could you pop by on Wednesday at 2 o’clock and kill me then ?”

“Yes, doctor, I can do that.”

“Goodbye for now , Roger , you are doing so well, I can’t wait to see you again on Wednesday.”

The Great Physician now is near, The sympathizing Jesus; He speaks the drooping heart to cheer, Oh, hear the voice of Jesus!
His name dispels my guilt and fear, No other name but Jesus; Oh, how my soul delights to hear The precious name of Jesus! (from SACRED SELECTIONS)

A last jab at psychology: Once I had multiple personalities, but now we are feeling well.
I don’t suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute.
I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not sure.
The best thing about being schizophrenic is that I’m never alone.
Just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean people aren’t out to get you!
Hypochondria is the only illness that I don’t have.
