1. What makes people fall away? Is it logic? Lack of empirical evidence? Loss of that first love feeling? The stagnation that will inevitably come? There's so many forces in this world which try to pull us away from faith. This is not unique to just Christianity. Isn't it weird how we can't hold a sustained fascination of amazing things? Everything seems to just...normalize after a while.
Just wondering, not judging. =.=;;
2. Something similar to thought 1 that I shared about how I would "forget" how great my God was. For me it's like my mother's cooking. She is an absolutely amazing cook, but once I came to college and was deprived of that cooking for a semester, I began to wonder. Was her cooking really that good? Was I imagining it? I mean, she was gonna come to Mich to feed my friends and I was doubtful, wondering if they would like it or not. I started to doubt it by saying that maybe I like it so much only because I grew up with it, because it was slowly ingrained into my taste buds. It's weird, when we're away from something for a while, we forget so easily.
3. Nineteen years has passed and I still don't think before I speak/type. I'm working on that. Even the stuff typed before this was just blurted out because I have to sleep soon. I should work on refining my thoughts, looking at the implications of my speech/words, and considering the impact on the reader/listener. I'm too slow in thought, but too rash in action. Perhaps this is one of the worst combinations.
4. Along with 3, I just need to stop talking about myself so much. Humility is not thinking less of oneself, but thinking of oneself less. Amen. I need that. This post isn't really helping. hahahahahha
