So I read In a pit with a lion on a snowy day, but that doesn't matter unless I do something with it. Inspired by the book and it's author I am in the process of creating one of those infamous lists of things to do before you die. I have never had a list like this, but think that it would be so valuable as I am very goal oriented. If I am not working towards something then I go into a sort of atrophy.
Right now I am creating a 101 things I want to do before I die. It will be a mixture of ministry related items and just plain fun things. A mixture of challenging and not so hard to accomplish. I will have to adjust my life to do some of them and others I will simply need to just drive there. All will be sorted through a lens of prayer.
Here's a sampling of what I have so far:
- Visit every continent
- Run the Boston Marathon, which leads to another goal
- Run a marathon under 3:15 (technically my qualifying time right now is 3:10, but next year when I am a year older it will be 3:15. Yes, another 5 minutes)
- Preach in another country through a translator
- Write a book
- Baptize all my kids (I already have Ethan, so only 3 to go)
