DAY 15: A picture of something you want to do before you die....
When I was in my 20's I had a list,(I think they call it a "bucket list" these days) of things I wanted to accomplish in my life. It included things like; jumping out of an airplane, riding every steel rollercoaster in the U.S., meeting at least 10 famous people, living on my own in a big city, getting a tattoo, and several others things, but things that are just as self-serving. But I guess pleasing yourself is what a list like that is usually about.
During the last 20 years, as I have grown older and wiser (I hope), most of the things on the list have lost their appeal. I accomplished a few of them, but I seem to have lost the desire to leave my "mark on the world". When I came to understand that this world is not my home, but only my temporary dwelling place, my focus turned from worldly accomplishment to spiritual ones. It became more important to me to be known in heaven than to be remembered in this world.
That being said, there are still some things that I would like to accomplish while in this world.
