Philosophical Phase

When I turned 20, things changed.  I did the partying thing for a while so that wasn’t new to me, but I started to ponder about life again.  I haven’t really done that since I was six when I distinctively remember looking up to the sky and wondering how we got here and why we were all here on Earth.

For the first time, really, I was asking questions like, “What’s the purpose of all of this? Why are we here?  How are we supposed to follow God? Or, is life a big party?” It was this internal turmoil that kept nagging at me so I finally became interested in the Greek church again.  Actually, I became obsessive with it.  I started going to church a few times a week.  Yeah… that’s a lot considering all the others my age were out partying all the time.  During the weeknights, I was one of the only young people in the entire church!

I started reading the bible again, like actually, sitting down starting from the beginning.  I don’t know many young Greeks doing that these days.  But I wanted to know the truth.  I was obsessed with finding out the truth.   … and eventually I did find it.  I’ll tell you how it did it later.
