Why Am I Here?

December 15th, 2008 by Shane Kenny | Filed under Misc.

First things first… I am not comtemplating suicide or ending it all so there is no need to rush to my aid.  I just wonder if anyone else has ever had that same question?  Maybe it would be better to ask if anyone has ever not asked themselves this question.  This morning I was reading in 1 Chronicles as I ate my breakfast.  This is a part of the Bible I normally skip over because it is pretty boring.  I don’t really care who fathered who, who then went on to father so-and-so.  Most the names I cannot even pronounce anyway.  As I finished reading the geanology of one of the tribes I noticed, “And these are the they whom David set over the service of song in the house of the LORD.”  Then it hit me.  Many of the people listed before this verse it only said, “so-and-so fathered so-and-so” within nothing more important after it.  What does this mean?  Does it mean that some people are simply placed on earth just to raise the next geeration?  Is it possible that Shane fathered Chad and Chase and while I may not do great things one of them might?  I know this is pretty deep thinking for a Monday morning but thought I would pass it on anyway.
