Our Ties

Nothing really different about us... normal people, normal existence, extraordinary journey of blessings brought in the most profound, difficult, devasting, and amazing circumstances. To know our journey is to know grace. I invite you in to view this simple life where extraordinary events shape together to create something only Grace can explain.......

Bucket List

I don't know why, but I feel like writing out my bucket list.  I will start it here tonight,  but I think I will make a permanent spot for it on my main page.  It's important not to just live driven by goals, but by adventure.  I think we all should live with full abandonment in Christ.  And I believe when we do, that brings HUGE adventures!  Okay... so I will write mine and would love to hear some of yours when I am done!

  1. skydiving for my 40th birthday (coming sooner than I expected!  Plans in the works)
  2. publish my book
  3. get my dreams for "Eathan's House", a ministry to families in medical crisis with a seriously ill child, started and in full operation
  4. go on an Alaskan cruise
  5. swim off the beaches of Hawaii and Fiji
  6. go on a safari
  7. spend an extended amount of time in Africa in missions (maybe even live there if God desires)
  8. ride the largest roller coaster in the world
  9. anonymously change the life of someone in need in a way that they can't help but praise Jesus in full belief of miracles
  10. fly in a fighter jet plane where they do tricks until I am sick
  11. share my faith in Jesus with total abandonment to a crowd so large that I can hardly see them all
  12. sing with someone famous
  13. play the fiddle (violin for you fancy folk!) and play it well.
  14. do a heroic act for God's glory that I could not do in my own strength
  15. travel to every state in the good ol' US of A
  16. backpack across Europe
  17. go to the top of the Empire State building on Valentine's Day with my sweetie
  18. ride a horse at full speed in the wide open for as long as the horse can run
  19. be a part of an old fashioned cattle drive
  20. write a full children's book series and have it published and enjoyed
  21. witness a medical miracle of such drastic measures that I feel like I am in the days of Jesus walking on earth healing the blind and raising the dead before our very eyes
  22. perform in live theater as an adult since I haven't done so since I was a teen, other than church.
  23. spend two weeks away from anything modern of any kind with my family
  24. watch my children graduate high school and college
  25. celebrate God-ordained marriage vows of all of my children
  26. be a grandma (notice I want the vows FIRST! lol!)
  27. swim with dolphins
  28. free a whale (okay, so I'm a free willy fan!)
  29. dance in a couple's competition with Todd
  30. leave a legacy for Christ above all
  31. complete my bucket list
