Have you seen this show? It seriously has to be one of the best shows on television right now and the fact that MTV produces it is (a) surprising – most of their shows are kind of like crap and (b) awesome – because the production quality is pretty stinkin sweet, the soundtrack is nice, and it is culturally relevant.
What is the show about? “Relying on goodwill, guts and gumption Duncan, Ben, Dave and Jonnie travel the globe in a purple transit bus to complete a list of ‘100 things to do before you die’ and to help and encourage others to go after their own lists. For every item they complete on their list, they help a stranger achieve one of their dreams. Everywhere they go they ask the question: What do you want to do before you die?”

AND – the fact that this was an actual idea of something they came up with before MTV approached them is also a pretty cool deal for the fact that it is not some made-up reality show depicting rich kids in Southern California.
It also gets me (and probably everyone else that watches the show) thinking about what their list may look like (obviously the point of the show) but it also gets me thinking about goals. Sure there are some pretty major things I would like to do before I do – go to New York City, experience an African safari, spend a summer in the deep south and let my son play like Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer among other things. BUT there are some just life/ministry goals that I would like to see happen.

I get to spend some time with some of my student ministry team tonight – we’ll talk about some of these things and we will dream up some just for us.

Already in my life God has allowed me to do things that I never thought I would be able to do. He is good and faithful. This month, I’m going to dream bigger dreams and see what God has in store for me for the future. So – if you could anything – anything at all – what would it be?

Let me ask you a question – if you could do anything – anything at all – what would it be?  Who knows in a few years…you just might be living a dream.
