Could it be that I finally figured out what I want to do? I was researching a man who wrote a review for one of the books I have to read for my Anatomy of I dentity class. He was at the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard. In looking it up, I found that this is part of the Harvard Divinity School. Hmmmmm....so I looked it up. Apparently my new goal is to get a ThD (Doctor of Theology) from Harvard. It is interesting, in talking to several people about my new goal they all seem to think that it is just what I had been seeking. That is, apparently unbeknownst to me, I have more than a passion for religion(s) (which I do) but more of a passion for theology: not the what of the religion but more the why.
And I think they're right. I was looking at the comparative chart and I think it is exactly what I've been looking for.
For now, at least...because it will inevitably change within the next year, I'm sure.

"Refuse to fall down. If you cannot refuse to fall dow, refuse to stay down. If you cannot refuse to stay down, Lift your heart toward heaven and like a hungry begger, ask that it be filled, And it will be filled. You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising. But no one can keep you from lifting your heart toward heven--only you. It is in the middle of misery that so much becomes clear. The one who says, "Nothing good came of this," is NOT YET LISTENING." -C.P. Estes

A long lost friend of mine graduated from HDS. He was a wonderful guy.
But, yes, you are right. Your mind will probably change quite a few times before you decide on something.
