Final Blog Entry

When I first started blogging I blogged only about music, as you can see below. When I first started blogging about my QU 201 class, I continued to do the same but soon realized that it didn’t completely apply to the class. An argument can be made that I do put a lot of my faith into music to get me through hard times, and to celebrate the good times. I soon learned how write about subjects that better pertain to the class.

I owe a lot of my growth in writing journal entries to the 2008 election, which I have tried to get heavily involved in. As the semester went on I started writing more about how different people’s faiths are impacted by government, and how the leaders of the country have faiths that impact our laws.

Sometimes it was challenging to write about how faith has affected my life, because I don’t have a strong faith in religion. I often talked about how I have faith in other things, and how they can affect me in the same manner religious faith affects someone. However writing in the journal did make me pay more attention to this election than I previously was and become more opinionated on subjects like abortion, euthanasia, and the death penalty. These are all things that every person should look in to so they may establish a strong opinion on such controversial issues.

I think my journal was always honest and deep, since day one. That reflects who I am, which is an open and honest person. I’m always willing to share my thoughts, and I think that has made for an interesting journal. It must be an experience to know what another individual is thinking about life. In the beginning of my journal I did mess up some of my entires by not making them apply specifically to class, however this is a type of gradual learning experience that I think should be factored into the final grading. I also missed three journal entries and there is no excuse for that. Although I made them up, the fact that they were late is a problem and I’d probably use that as the reason I deserve an B+ on the journal. To end the journal, I’ll let someone speak about the meaning of faith in the community better than I ever could.
