Once again my boss was disturbed by my comment that my biggest goal right now is to live long enough to bury my mother. I have no other ambition, really. Sure, there are lots of things that I would like to do or accomplish, but in the grand scheme of things, do any of them really matter? If God wants me to do something, He will let me know. Until then, anything I can think of to do with my life is simply for amusement or to accomplish my goal (see above if you missed it).
Sounds like the goal of a cog in a machine, huh? Just go round and round until the job is done. Only like a cog, I am dispensable. There are people who depend upon me, but I can be replaced. There are people that would miss me or even mourn me, but I have every confidence that they would be able to carry on.
Golly, that does sound depressing. I can see why he finds that disconcerting, but it is true. Very Nihilistic, though not truly so. I do have beliefs and loyalties. And I am not out to destroy things, let alone myself. You might consider that someone with an attitude like mine would be suicidal, but do not worry. That would be a sure way to be denied entrance to our Father's house (Heaven, for those that are less poetic --- and if you are less poetic than me you are in serious trouble).
So what does this all mean? Got me. I was hoping that you would know. Peace & Prayers
