I wish I could...

... get some more sleep each night
... find and eat delicious strawberries
... eat a lot and not gain additional weight in the wrong places
... have more time to go to the  gym
... gain a little more patience for the crazy world I live in
... watch a funny movie, an action movie, just any movie
... formulate the content of the draft paper I must submit on Tuesday
... pass by Prague but it's off the list... for now
... eat out and disregard the passing of time
... have sent pictures for the "Now, what?" church theme
... write the words that are swirling in my head

WRITE the Words....You are such an inspiration to me. I have words in my head that I never get out.

Hi Melb, Thanks for your comments. I will visit your blog more seriously in the next few weeks. A bit busy these days. Blessings!

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.

Chase the lion.
