I checked out God or the Girl last night because the reviews said it was respectful and I'd seen the guys interviewed and they seemed to know their Faith pretty well. They ran 2 episodes last night back to back, and I found it interesting. But more than interesting, I found it really hitting home. It was comforting almost to see that there are other young folks out there who, like myself, are incredibly confused about the next step to take in their lives. Of course I'm not trying to discern priesthood but I still do think about the religious life ("nunhood"!) on a regular basis, and when I'm not thinking about that, I'm thinking about marriage and all that entails. Everything was so simple as a pre-teen. Then everything was simple again as a late-teen. What happened? When did I decide I couldn't decide anymore?
It's got to be selfishness, laziness and faithlessness all combined and fizzling like one dangerous chemistry experiment. The kind that blows up the lab and gets you expelled from high school.
