So I was having this conversation with a friend and she was talking about show choir, and I was talking about marching band and I offered this observation. The funny thing about high school is that while all these activities and successes or failures, and the politics (or pseudo-politics) of who gets what part, and who's best at what are incredibly important to us in high school-often every day's waking moment, etc. The only catch is once you leave high school, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that Jefferson City high school has 9 band directors and 10 times the budget as mine... it has zero affect on my ability to go to grad school or get a job or get married. Part of the gig at college is sort through what's left of high school (GET OVER IT) and move on to what's really important.

And then....

I thought that maybe what we do right now.. doesn't really matter. Like , the rich kids, the star athlete, the beautiful people, and the misfits aren't really in that order forever- and the rest of the world could care less who you were in high school. Maybe heaven is the same way- no one there cares who you were in life. Like maybe the rockstars, the successes and the failures don't really matter to the people in heaven.
