Recently I have been going thru life thinking “life is pointless”. Not in a bad way. I’m not saying I’ve gone through life failing my classes uncaring, and stealing for convience stores. No. I’m saying that I’ve realized how nothing matters. Let me delve.
So recently was graduation. Cameron is now officialy graduated. As I was watching the graduation take place I realized it was pointless. I mean, yes graduating is important, but the whole hoopla of it is really pointless. All the speakers you don’t know and you don’t care what they say. All the music that escalates. The walking, the clothes and funny hat, everything, it’s all pointless.

So this is what I realized, it’s pointless. Everything is. All this homerwork we do, and all this learning we do in school, pointless. Yes I might get myself “farther” in life, but what is “farther”? Really does it matter if your rich? Or have a good job? Not really. What is life all about.

I don’t know. Truthfully I can only guess. I could start preaching about the point of life being living for God, but truthfully I don’t think that’s it. God didn’t create us to live for him. Did he?

Well what about the graduation? What is important? The diploma? The gown? The party…….. ah yes. The party; friends, hanging out. Is that important. Does that bring you pleasure and enjoyment. If so, isn’t that what life is about. Did God really create us to live for him? Or did he create us to enjoy life?

Yes……. yes what? Yes I think he did. I think God created us to live for enjoyment, and he knows that when we live for him, with him we will have the most enjoyment. God wants us to be happy, that’s what we are here for, or that’s what I believe.

So really, life isn’t pointless. Life is just pointless when you focus on the pointless. Really you just need to enjoy life however you can, and to find the most enjoyment would be through God.

Ecclesiastes 1:2

” ‘Meaningless! Meaningless!’
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”

P.S. This is a Plog a Preach Log (According to Riley)

We have a tiki room. It’s quite cool. It has a fountain, and bamboo, and birds and monkeys and fake flowers. It has everything. It’s really cool looking, it even has a bar. When we first bought our house we thought it was really cool. Sadly it is now mostly ignored. We use it as a drum room and a computer room. It hardly ever is used as a party room, maybe every once in a while.

The point of me saying all of this is that I think this applies in more than one area of our life. “What applies?” you ask; the fact that we ignore our surroundings, beauty, and exciting things. We lose interest in what once was enthralling. With our tiki room we thought it was exciting and enthralling, we figured we would use it for parties all the time. Obviously that is not happening.

That’s how life is. We find something exciting and fun, a new hobby, a new friendship, a new electronic item or a new tiki room. A while later we lose interest. The hobby is to hard and not exciting enough, the friend becomes annoying, the electronic item stops working all the way, the tiki room becomes a computer room, and drum room. What we need to do , I think, is that we need to refocu our attention at times. We have to go back to that thing that intrigued us, and view it through that old lens again.

This applies to our walk with God to. We start out, enthralled with what God is and can do, but soon we lose interest. Rather than being amazed by God’s power, we use him only when we need him. We use him to take away our pain, or we think he is just there to tell us rules. We need to refocus on God as the most amazing creator of everything. We need to look at him through our old, or rather young eyes again.

God is amazing, try to never forget that. Try to keep him in your eyes as an enthralling creator and never let that go.
