Pointless

My life is pointless.  

Would you find having a pointless life discomforting?  My first thought is that yes, you would. But I'm telling you now: I have absolutely no qualms about it. I have Solomon to thank for enlightening me that much. 

Yet again today, I've been frowned upon and laughed at (literally!) because I told my English instructors I would not be going on for a graduate degree.

"A waste!" my friend exclaimed. "What a waste of such an intelligent mind!"
Granted, I do appreciate that she thinks I have an intelligent mind. 

But I'd rather use the intelligent mind for God's purposes, and not the world's, thank you. Would they understand that though?  Sadly, no. But I do.  And He does.  And that's all that matters.

Oh, please. Graduate degrees are completely overrated. I have not for an instant regretted my decision not to go on to grad school. Actually, it wasn't so much a decision as never an option in the first place, lol, since I find the idea so unappealing that I'd never do it in a million years.

Well, that at least makes two of us then :-)
