What's It All About?

Have you ever had the time to sit down and think about your life; past, present, and future?

Do you ever wonder what you're "here" for? Why were you born into this world? Was it to do nothing more than earn a paycheck, incur debt, make babies, and then die? Am I seriously nothing more than a credit score. God, I hope not; mine sucks!
(I apologize for the morbidity there)

I have recently had some time to reflect on my life and what I'm doing here. I want to do more than simply use some else's oxygen. I have done one mission trip, and have volunteered my time coaching soccer to young kids for nearly 10 years. And somehow, I still feel incomplete. 

People spend alot of time with their children, and that's all fine and well. But in the end, you children will find love (hopefully) and move on with their lives. What then? There has to be more to this life than that. There MUST be something fulfilling; something with some depth to it. A way to live one's life in such a way that it impacts all those with whom you come into contact with. 

I have been catching up on TV lately and have seen a couple of "survivor-man"-type programs. I used to think that these dudes were completely off their rockers. But after listening to their stories and how they came to desire such a lifestyle, I must admit that it's not completely nuts to want to live "off-the-grid". No taxes, no rent or mortgage, no car payment. Just find something to eat every other day or so. That's it. (I would desire some deodorant though) As I feel more and more like a number in this world full of numbers, going off grid appeals to me a bit more every day. 

I suppose it's just something to think about........or maybe reality????
