Life
So I couldn't focus in class today... my mind kept daydreaming. I feel like I have a lot to figure out. What exactly I have to figure out, I have yet to figure out. But I feel like there is a lot missing in my life. So if you've talked to me over the last month or read my blog, you may have heard me mention that I want to read a lot this summer.. this is probably because I realize that I just don't understand anything. Why I believe what I believe, what do I believe, what am I working towards.. just a whole bunch of questions I don't have answers to..
I'm caught in a crossroads so it seems. Where I am trying to figure out long term goals, as well as short-term goals. What I want to do with my life, what I want to do with school, what do I think is important and worth seeking.. as well as a major transitory period stemming from the change I can only attribute to God, and trying to figure out what the right path to follow is. For the true Christian path is alleged to be a very narrow road.

I'm with you man I've had a hard time concentrating on things, but at the same time I lack a lot of desire to understand things...at least I'm not expressing it. At least you are expressing it, that's a good thing.

Sean,
I've been checking your blog everyday. In the past, I've also embarked upon summer reading/figuring it all out; there is only one thing I know with certainty at this point: the more I learn, the more I realize how little I really know. It's perplexing and paradoxical, but entirely true. Our minds are huge and powerful but the world, and history, are much much bigger.
But I'd strongly recommend A History of Knowedge by Charles Van Doren. My parents have read it several times and I'm rererereading it right now. I could hook you up...
