Yesss. Another person in the "Never had a girlfriend club!" or, the NHAGC!
Hey there Kido..... You know there are those of us that NEVER had any kind of relationship... Earthly one that is... until after hitting that 2nd decade of our lives.. God knows.. and He cares.... He knows you are longing for a special lady in your life.... Be patient... ummmmm you haven't asked Him for more Faith have ya???!!!! Believe me that is a good way to learn patience...We are here looking to see the next decade of accomplishments when you post them!!! Remember to keep a copy of this list... NOT IN THE OPEN... but put one away so 1/2 way you can get it out and possibly add several things you have done that you had no idea to put on your list..... I know the owner of NazNet, Dave McClung, (he used to be pres. of Eastern Naz University) HE has a list of accomplishgments he has done in his life time. It is interesting to go to read it. I havnt the time right now to look the page up he has it on BUT will so you can see how interesting it is to read for someone you dont know...I would enjoy myself, reading where you have been and what you have done.... even IF you aren't close!!
You are a special kid you know???!!!???

You know, you could have shortened your todo list by just saying, "Be better." :)
Thanks for the suggestion heath. I thought that was too general and would have defeated the point of posting the blog in the first place, but thanks though.
