I like to think about eternity, and sometimes I long for heaven - to be rid of this world and be with my Lord in person, forever.
Buuuut, I'm not there. I'm here.
My older brother once told me that only 3 things last forever: God, God's Word, and people's souls, and that I need to invest myself in all three.
I believe this.
That said, while I'm here on this Earth, I decided to make a little bucket list of less important things I would also like to do.

That said, while I'm here on this Earth, I decided to make a little bucket list of less important things I would also like to do.
Here be that list (in no particular order):
1. Visit NYC (I've never been!)
2. While there, see a Broadway show
3. Own a real camera and learn how to use it
4. Go skydiving (Matt isn't comfortable with me doing this, but I'm hopeful he'll warm up to it)
5. Repaint a piece of furniture
6. Acquire an impressive collection of classic British literature, read them all, and display them on beautiful, built-in bookshelves
7. Have children
8. Can something (like pickles)
9. Globe trot with Matt to Europe and Southeast Asia
10. Grow a successful garden
12. Master the moonwalk
13. Paint or draw something that I would be glad to hang in my home
14. Start a school
15. Get Lasik
16. Find cool things at thrift shops and relish in my savings
That's it for now. Perhaps some of these are overly ambitious, others not ambitious enough.
It is what it is.
I figure I'll be adding new items to my list as time goes by and as I (hopefully) accomplish some of these things.
