I have faced a loss of marriage and have come close to death on more than one occasion. I don't see how that's relevant, however. I was simply responding to the notion that nothing really matters. As a Christian, I object to it wholeheartedly. I contend that everything--no matter how seemingly insignificant--has a purpose within the triune God's sovereign decree. @awesomenyl professes to believe the same way, and since she does, I took the liberty of commenting on her post as I saw fit. Life is not inherently meaningless, and I decided to include in my posts a response to your comment--a response that I'm still convinced is appropriate.

I could agree with the notion that many things we fret about aren't so important in the grand scheme of things, but that's not quite the same thing as saying that nothing really matters or that life is inherently meaningless.
