I know that such a list has practically nothing to do with
Peace, Justice, or Disability Awareness.
Nevertheless, while these three topics are the stated focus of this
blog, I will share my thoughts with the poor soul who chooses to read this.
So here I go: Twelve
Things I would Like To See or Do In The Remainder of My Life.
12. ... see the day
that all cars sold in the United States must, by Federal Law, average at least
100 mpg.
11. ... visit and
experience the Grand Canyon with my wife.
10.. ...lose about 25
pounds and keep it off.
9. ...build, own and
live in a true log home situated on about 2 or 3 acres of land in a country
setting in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
8. ...learn that a
cure has been found for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
7. ...see the
"land of the midnight sun" while touring Alaska with my wife.
6. ...be held
spellbound by viewing the Aurora Borealis (aka Northern Lights).
5. ...visit and hike
the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania with my wife.
We did this once many, many years ago but I would like to do it again.
4. ...learn that a
cure has been discovered for Autism.
3. ...see the day
that my two sons are once again "best friends".
2. ...know that my
eldest son, who is intellectually and developmentally disabled, is happy, safe,
and well-taken care of for the rest of his life.
1. ...grow in my
daily walk with Jesus Christ and learn to trust him more each day.
