Oh, the dreams we have...
My dreams for my life:
1. Become a bush pilot in Alaska. Fly a Cessna Amphibious Caravan between outlandish rural communities, delivering food and medicines and basic necessities, while spending time to cultivate relationships and advance the gospel.
2. Plant a church in Australia. Koala bears. Kangaroos. The beach. And living on an island (though a big one). It sounds like paradise. I'd like to work on a team to plant a church that connects with people who are sick and tired of Christendom but searching for something more in life.
3. Start a monastery. I've always been fascinated by the monastic lifestyle. Why not start my own 21st-Century Protestant monastery? It would be quite the adventure.
The question: "Which one do I want to pursue? Or do I pursue them all?" Answer: "Why settle for one when you can settle for all three?"
So here's my plan: Go to Alaska, buy a plot of land, dig up a lot of soil, and ship it to Australia. In Australia, buy a plot of land, cover it with the dirt from Alaska, and become a pilot to deliver food and supplies to scattered Australian outback settlements. In the meantime, I can start a monastery and then start a church plant WITHIN the monastery.
It sounds simple enough. I'm going for it.
(And if that doesn't work, I can always settle for living in Alaska. I'll have a koala bear shipped to me via UPS or Fed-Ex, and I'll have a greenhouse where I can grow eucalyptus plants to feed my koala bear).
P.S. There is some creature living in the school's drainage sewers. Don't go near them at night. P.S.S. You've been forewarned.
