Here is my life list. This is a list of things that I want to do or accomplish before I die. It could be called a bucket list, but I prefer Life List. It's all about living life to the fullest.

Let's see, I'm working on #1; I have done most of #'s 10,23,27,46,61; and I have done 4,5,9,15,24,29,42,43,49,51,57,and 67. I could teach you to cook. Marriage, at this point, is unlikely; children even more so. I had an invitation to preach for/with a missionary in Greece but never got there while he was alive. I'd love to return to both Europe and the Middle East. The list of things I'd still like to do is much smaller, less athletic, and open to divine surprises, since many of the good things in the past were. I never made a formal list, but the informal list has changed since I was your age.
nice bucket list
