My wife did her own sixteen things that people would want to know about her. She encouraged me to do my own list. Since, I didn't do her other hundred things to do be for I die for purely morbid reasons. I think that I can do this list without any trouble. It is after all a new year, and I have been telling my wife that I want to live with more purpose this year.
1. I am quiet and thoughtful. I may not say a lot to the people around me, but don't take that as a sign that I don't care.
2. I am friendly to just about everyone, but there are very few people I consider true friends. I know that I am not the best person at letting my true friends know that I think their special to me, band for that I am sorry.
3. I love my job as a law enforcement officer, but I know that I cannot save the world. I can only hope to touch a few lives along the way.
4. I love my children each in the own special way. It is hard as a father of four to find time for each of them but I love them all even when they are not listening.
5. I take politics seriously, but I don't think that anyone change the world through government. Government is a reaction not a cure. It takes people acting with good in their heads, and God in their heart to change the world.
6. I worry about money but have no idea what I would do with it if had all money I needed. I cannot imagine life without sacrifice. God calls us to depend on him, and that cannot be done if we have all we need through money.
7. I have no pretense that I will die a good man, but not a famous man. I would rather that I have the love, respect, and devotion of my wife, children, and friends than fame.
8. I love to play. I know that I don't get out a lot to play my favorite sport paintball a lot. I wish there was more time in my schedule to do so. I also wish that there were a way to include my family so that it was not either or but we could all share in the enjoyment of my play.
This is the end of the list for now. I don't want it the be about everything that is on my mind right now in this second. I will come back on finish off on another day.
