Today is my birthday. I turn fifty-six today. I'm officially on the backside of fifty! By God's grace I'm in better shape and I feel better today at fifty-six than when I turned thirty-six! I have so much in my heart I still want to achieve. I thought I'd share just a few items left unchecked on the bucket list!
I want to go multi-site with our church. I'd love for us to have six campuses in Acadiana before it's time for me to retire.
I want to write a series of children's novels. I am half-way through with the first one.
I also have a few devotional books in me. I have started writing the first and my goal is to have it finished by the fall of this year.
I want to ski Whistler in Canada.
I want to visit several European countries with Donna.
I want to play St. Andrews.
I want to open an outreach center in Lafayette that assists the poor and the transient.
I want to help our CLC alumni go after the ministry dreams God has put in their hearts.
Obviously some of these are personal, some are ministry goals. Joel's prophecy in the Bible says young men will have visions and old men will dream dreams. I'm not sure which category these will fall in to but I sure want to see them come into fruition! This isn't a complete list mind you - It's a pretty big bucket!
