The Big Five

All my girl friends are discussing something in Bible study this week. The focus is on the five things that, if we die tomorrow, we would be ready to let go because we were satisfied in these big five things in our life. This is right up my alley, so I made my own Big Five. Here it goes: 

1.  I want to directly save a life. Not like do something that helped someone helped someone help someone help someone, but actually directly save a life. I am talking like hands deep in blood. Extra points to someone that is really important to me.

2. I want to feel the love I feel for God for another person, and receive it back. The kind of love that is like, I love you so much that I selflessly offer what I want to better that person, to make her happy. The kind of love that makes me a better man, and makes me want to be the best me.

3. I want to do some work for change for people with eating disorders. I would like to maybe give talks or something of advocacy. Too many people suffer from eating disorders, and not only is it life threatening, it threatens quality of life. This is too important to me not do something about.

4. I, want to make a big influence on all my friends lives. Not like, “Oh, he is such a good guy.” I mean the very specific, remember me influence on my friends.

5. I want to be a dad and teach my kids all the important things in life. Besides the obvious reasons of fatherly love for my kids, I want to spread my goodness to my kids, teach them what I have learned, and watch them start their own, good lives.
