I have a illness.
It seems to be quite a common illness among those I talked to.
Can it be cured? No one knows.
It's official title is Bbile Dxleisya (or Bible Dyslexia).
I am telling you that this is a major problem.
Its symptoms include getting confused by Paul's ramblings, never remembering the books of the Bible, watching the words all blur together when trying to read it, and quoting passages from the Bible always starting with "I think it goes something like..."
I don't know why this is happening to me. Maybe I was born with the problem.
Is there a solution?
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am an avid reader. I can read through 400+ pages of a book in one sitting and forget to have meals.
My study looks like this:
And this:
And this:
because I don't have enough room for all my books to put them on shelves.
They are like my children. I would try and save them first from a fire disregarding most of my other possessions.
I read Shakespeare and Aristotle and not only understand them, I enjoy them.
Yet as soon as I pick up the Bible my first instinct is to sleep.
My second is to squint my eyes and try to understand Paul's circular arguments.
My third is to try for 5 mins and then move on to another book.
And I'm a THEOLOGY student!!!!
Does anyone else have this problem???? Tell me I am not alone in this, just to make me feel or good, or even if you actually struggle with this too :-)
