I bet this happens for everyone at some point. I started really feeding on the Word. And then Jesus picked up the pace. And paise Him, I think I've been keeping up. But I have to say,. He's suggesting that we might be picking up the pace again soon.

Here's a word of encouragement. The atheist is in a better place than someone blinded by their religion. Just be humble and seek truth and you'll find yourself in the right place.
