I never saw the movie, but I have a bucket list (i.e.-- a list of things I would love to do before I kick the bucket.) At the present time my list is pretty short. You probably will think I'm strange, but at the top of my list in the number one position would be spending six months on the International Space Station soaking in the amazing view high above the earth. That would be so awesome. The number two item on my bucket list would keep my feet firmly planted on planet earth. I would love to take six months or longer in the Holy Land. I would love to go to the land of the Bible and study God's Word in the places where the events originally occurred. I would love to sit along the shore of the Sea of Galilee reading the Gospels. It would be awesome to walk the country side from Jericho to Jerusalem, and to walk the streets of Jerusalem. There are so many places spoken about in the Scriptures too numerous to list them all. I would enjoy traveling the path of the Apostle Paul's missionary journeys, see Egypt, and walk the streets of Baghdad, ect. Obviously six months would be too short to see it all. Not just the tourist sites, but spend time meeting the people and learning about the cultures. What's on your list?Monday, March 10, 2008
