I tried to revive a thread that I had going of this same thing....but with no success. :/

I have always liked to hear what people would like to accomplish or do etc. :)

how so, jimmy? as long as the things on those lists don't conflict with scripture?

I'd like to see the Grand Canyon. I don't see that as ungodly, do you?

I don't believe so, even Paul wanted to be back in Jerusalem in time for the Passover.




My bucket list is more of a style thing than a 'to do' thing. I want to live Epically, I want to Love deeply, I want to find something worth living for and I want to do all of these things for the rest of my life. I have given up living a normal life in pursuit of finding the joy that only comes from having sacrificed much because the goal and the aim requires it of me.

44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. Matt 13:44-46

If you have ever had even so much as a taste of what it could be like, everything else will seem selfish hollow and pointless.

("oh good grief........ anyways" ;) Amen)

Genesis 1 says that the world God created was "good" in His own words, several times. I enjoy seeing those things in their purest form... oceans, beaches, sunsets, stars, canyons, mountains, waterfalls... I love to break away from the pack and enjoy the stillness and majesty of these things. 'Seems to me that Jesus did this from time to time too. :)

'Seems too that maybe we are all called to live epicly. There's an awesome song I'll post a link to at the bottom of this. One line from the song: "Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us run the race not only for the prize..may the footprints that we leave lead them to believe, and the lives we live inspire them to obey". I want to make a different. I want to know that my life mattered. Touch as many lives as I can for the One I love....and love powerfully.

I'm sure many of us have been told repeatedly that we "can't save the world". We can't, but we know the One who can, and Who has done everything to make that happened.... if they'll only come.

Oh...and I want a yorkshire terrier puppy :):):)

I worked a Skillet concert many moons ago. Halfway through the set, the breaker tripped, killing the lights and sound. The drummer took it upon himself to perform a 10 minute drum solo in the dark. No one could 'see' them, and it was hardly an 'acoustic' set, but it was still cool.
