Stressed? Go help someone

Meta has a great post reflecting on John 20:19-31, and among other things notes:

"My pastor/supervisor’s wife is a social worker for the Army. When patients tell her that they’re stewing about inner distress and can’t find happiness, her answer (unless they need medication or further evaluation) is twofold: exercise and go help someone. Both of these treatments call you to take action – to focus on something other than your inner dissatisfactions or frustrations. But pop-religion and culture have effectively proven that it’s trendy to spend life getting squared away."
