Things To Do * Places to Visit/See *

to Find *
I found a
book titled, “101 Things you Should do Before Going to Heaven”,
bookmarked to #46 in my Grandpa's bedroom. So I've decided to add
most of the goals in this book to my bucket list, and update it while
i'm at it. I feel that, that bucket list written when I was 19 should
be updated now that i'm more of an adult. I'm not doing everything
from the book but I'd say about 75% of it.
(If
there is a ** Next to the Goal it means it's from the book lisited
above, Some of them may sound strange but they have Christian Lessons
to help in your Walk with God, but also to help you grow up a little
too, become a better person. So even if you're not a believer, get
the book. Read the Lessons behind each goal. Who knows you may grow a
little as a person, and even become a believer along the way. If
theres a (#) beside it, it means it could coincide with another goal
if I am in the right place, or choose it to.)
"Life on Earth is an
ADVENTURE --- DONT MISS IT!!! One day your soul will leave your
earthly body and your eternal life will began. For the Christian,
what a wonderful day that will be! Until then.. ask yourself: are you
making the most of your life here on Earth, savoring each moment of
beauty, joy, and love? "
