“What people don’t realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross. It is much harder to believe than not to believe.”
Flannery O'Connor
I can relate to this. I've been having a hard time lately with believing. I don't know what I was expecting when I joined a church. That it would light a fire in me? Or that the fire would burn brighter? Instead it feels like it has fizzled.
Part of my problem is that I still don't really understand what it means to believe. I haven't internalized this message. I don't feel it from within. When I'm in church, I sit there and think: "Okay, now I'm here. Why?"
