Faith questioning..

I remember when writing used to be a therapy. It used to be an escape from my life. I used to write out my problems and I'd feel better about things afterwards. Now I feel like writing in here is like writing another paper. I'm glad I didn't get into journalism or communications or anything like that. But I can't even take time to write a few 2 page papers anymore. Maybe this splurging of my time will give me motivation to write those papers? Perhaps. But I have to read papers to write papers. How in the world did I get detached from reading? I used to love reading anything and everything when I was little.
Eventually I became worried about what I was reading. I didn't want to get different theories and ideas in my head. And this semester I decide to take Comparative Religious Ethics and Religion and Sexualities! What a mind opener. Maybe that is why it's even harder for me to get back at reading the textbooks and doing the work, because those thoughts and mindsets will get in my mind. But shouldn't that encourage me to read the Bible more? Is that just another book, or atreasure of truth? That's what my mind is dealing with now. I can't just listen to sermons and take the pastor's word for what the Bible is saying. I have to start reading the Bible again, before everything in the world will start to mess up my mind like these classes are doing to me now.
