I have my own to-do list, but it’s all fun stuff. Not as grandiose as a bucket list, but still some things I’d like to do.

1) I want to go see Soul Sufer. Every time so far I’ve tried to see it, it’s been sold out. Hopefully, the third time’s a charm.

2) I want to see Needtobreathe in concert. I’m tired of finding out after the fact how incredible they were and what a fantastic concert they put on. I want to be there in the crowd finding out for myself.

3) Give myself a little more grace. I need to let up on myself and learn to forgive myself for failing. I need to learn to relax the standards I’ve set up for myself and be okay with the fact that I’m not where I’m supposed to be, according to some artificial and subjective standard. I’m where God wants me to be.

4) I want to go to a drive-in movie again. I mean, why not? It’s summer and the weather will be great up until July, when it will be hotter than a furnace fan and I will be sweating like the pig that knows he’s dinner.

5) I want to take more risks and not play it safe and automatically concede defeat before I even begin.

6) I want to read my Bible more and pray more, not because I have to, but because I get to. Not out of guilt or a sense of obligation, but because it’s life and bread and water and joy and the very air I breathe.

7) I want to share my faith with at least one person, regardless of whether they accept or reject what I have to say. I want to be obedient in that area of my life again.

8) I want this blog to have 300 words. Oh wait. That’s done. Good job, me!
