Seven things

A friend passed this fun list onto me and now I'm passing it on too.

Seven things to do before I die:

1. Go horseriding in the desert just east of Morrocco (the edge of the Western Sahara).
2. Learn to better live in the present and for the future.
3. Learn to love people more unconditionally (answer nabbed from Karen)
4. I want to become a strong intercessor before I take the dirt nap.
5. Make a stop-motion animation short film with Maureen.
6. Get married and multiply.
7. Swim with the turtles in Hawaii again (NOT to be confused with "sleeping with the fishes...")

Seven things I can not do:

1. Eat from a salad bar after I've seen people take food with their bare hands.
