First Day of Colour

My first time I visited Hillsong, I looked at all the wall of windows that covered the building and thought to myself "I feel bad for the guy who has to clean all those." A year later, I walk in, they hand me a squeegee and tell me to get to it.  We will spend the next few days working on deep cleaning the church property for Colour Conference next week.  Right now, the conference is happening at the Sydney entertainment center (the Exchange film festival will also be host there next month) so all the girls are there working today. I find it much easier to battle of negative thinking towards these long hours of labor, by viewing Hillsong as my church, not the college I go to during the week.

I was talking about my bucket list with a friend back home the other day. I actually don't have a list of things I would like to do before I die.  Instead I have a "Decade List" I started in 2008 and I have heaped more things onto it over the years. But as of this writing, here's what it contains (some of them all already checked off):

1.) Live in another country for a little while.

2.) Learn a martial art.

3.) Get a motorcycle.

4.) Buy a handgun and learn to use it (better).

5.) Go to Alaska with my Dad.

6.) Get a tattoo

7.)Backpack South America 

8.) Have something published.

9.) Hike the Appalachian Trail.

Like I said, I started this list in 2008. Which means I have to have all these things done by the time I'm 28...chump change.

 

Caleb suggested I listen to this band the other night. It seemed like a good choice for this post.
