Job Security
Bowden McElroy of Counseling Notes has a great post discussing how his therapy practice ebbs and flows based on seasons, situations, and timing. Bowden discusses the increase in clients when schools starts - both student and marriage and the reasons for both -, as well as the increase seen around the time each grade card come out. A interesting focus of the post is how people think summer and vacation will help their marriage yet find out that they come back to the same problems when they come home. Bowden also focuses on how starting school reminds families of their church gaps as well.
Summary quote from the post -
Whatever the reason, my life is busy. And I am once again pondering the strange place God has brought me: a messed-up world, ineffective congregations, and watered down theology all add up to job security.
