My friend Matty has always dreamed of meeting Amy Grant. Well, that wish was recently fulfilled and surpassed. In the span of one week, Matty scored concert tickets, backstage passes, and a brief duet with his hero. In honor of my friend and his elated state, I've compiled my own "wish list" for this life.
1. Write a devotional book (Working Title: Steadfast).
2. Take a trip to the Holy Lands.
3. Attend any number of major sporting events (Wimbledon, The Masters, Stanley Cup Finals).
4. Milk a cow.
5. See a Broadway show.
6. Visit all 50 states.
7. Take an extended vacation to Europe (tour by train...).
8. Concerts: Michael Buble, Paul Potts, Barbra Streisand, Garth Brooks
9. Attend Jimmy Carter's Sunday School Class.
10. Meet Billy Graham.
These are just the ones that come to mind today. The above list is in no particular order and is far from final. I am sure I'll think of others later and add them as I do. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments section!

Things that Disturb/Annoy Me...
Walking out of a bathroom with two un-purchased books at a local bookstore…
Non hand-washers…especially at a bookstore or restaurant!
Texting while driving
Strangers who have what my friend Julie calls “verbal diarrhea” all over you…
Changing a baby’s diaper somewhere other than the bathroom…
Public breast-feeding
40+ year-old women wearing halters
Toupees (Especially on married men. I mean, all sense of intimacy would be lost when he took that thing off to go to bed…)
Comb-overs
Hair helmets on older (or younger, for that matter) women
Men who wear eyeliner (except maybe that guy from Green Day...)
Smacking
Those shoes with the wheels on them
Little girls in strapless dresses
Jeans that are entirely too low rise (i.e. – seeing a bare rear end on a man or woman while shopping etc.)
Riding a motorcycle without a helmet
Speedos®
Parents who let their kids run all over the place (especially in restaurants)
Walking into a public place (restaurant, mall, etc.) without shoes
Consider this a work in progress...I am sure I will add to it often! Feel free to add your own!!
