Before I Turn 40….

I just turned 30 in February and 40 still seems like a long way from now, but looking back to 20 doesn’t seem very long ago.  It seems that recently I have been reading about a lot of people who made some kind of a list of things they wanted to do before they turned 30 or 40.  I have never made any kind of list of this sort.  I was beginning to wonder if I was not very ambitious, but it seems that a lot of my goals are more on the personal development side of things and not really an activity or an accomplishment.  So I have decided to make a list of things I want to do/accomplish before I turn 40.  This gives me 10 years to tackle some of the things that take a back seat to life more often then they should.  I don’t have my list done yet, but I wanted to share a few to get it started.  I plan on posting the whole list on the blog and updating when I accomplish something from the list.  Here is the start of my list.

• Learn a new programming language that can be used on the web.
• Use that programming language to attempt to build something cool on the web.
• Take a family trip out West.  See the Pacific Ocean.  See the Rocky Mountains.
• Meet bloggers who I follow in person.
• Take big risks for ministry.  I am leaving out details on this one for a reason.  I am still figuring it out.
• Become debt free.

This is just a start for me.  When I make lists, I make big lists.  Just ask Santa.

What do you have on your list of things you want to do before…..30,40, the bucket?
