Bobby’s Bucket List

So a while back I was inspired to make "a list" when reading post by Heather and Randy.  Actually, I can remember being inspired to do this way back in 1999 while on tour with Young Americans.  One of our directors, Merilee Webb, had mentioned making one at a workshop once.  So I finally am getting around to it and thought I’d share it with all of you here.

So here it is.  My list of things I want to accomplish before I kick the bucket!  In absolutely no particular order:

Help lead my kid(s) to faith in Jesus
Go Hang-gliding
Get SCUBA certified
SCUBA off Hawaii
SCUBA off Australia
Visit all seven continents ([Visited-Not Yet]: North America, South America, Australia, Europe, Asia, Africa, Antarctica)
Climb Mt. Shasta
Finish a sprint triathlon
Finish an Olympic triathlon
Finish ½ Ironman triathlon
Learn to fly a plane or helicopter
Take a missions trip to Africa
Sing in a gospel choir
Take my wife on a cruise
Take my wife to New Zealand
Adopt a child
Climb half-dome
Plant a church (OK, have been a part, but I mean really lead the charge)
Produce an album of original music
Ride in a hot air balloon

I decided since I just made it, to not put on things I’ve already done just to check em off.  That’s a lame cop out.  Kind of a long list, but the way I see it, I’ve got somewhere in the vicinity of 72 years to fill.  So you can bet that as I think of and see more things I wanna do, they will be added.  It will get longer.  And I know one or two of those things are totally unrealistic, but hey, one can dream, yeah?  Might as well aim high!

So, there it is.
If you have any ideas how I can accomplish any of these sooner that later, lemme know!
If you have any you think I should add, lemme know!
And the best part…as I check em off I can share them with you here!

So  how about you?
What are two or three things you want to do before you die?
I really want to know!
