2015 Scavenger Hunt

A friend from college posted a scavenger hunt challenge. Apparently him and his buddies did a version of this last year in 2014, and it'll be an annual thing for them.  Although I'm not participating with that group per say, I am certainly intrigued.  And I want to borrow their idea...rise up to their challenge...join their game...

The 2015 Scavenger Hunt List is below.
I love it.
I love the idea of this, I love the summons, I love how a game can make us/me/we LIVE MORE!  Seize the day.  Try new things.  Take advantage of the adventures life has to offer.  And although I have quite a few personal/professional/ministry goals for 2015, I love this more than New Years Resolutions!

I want to live my life as a continual adventure, full of travel and seeking out the good, the different, the interesting, the unique. 
And so, I'm going to try this little Scavenger Hunt! 
Some of these things on the list I've already done in my life and probably won't be doing over.  Some of these things I'm truly just not interested in and I'll probably forgo those as well.  I could add some more things, but really I think this is a pretty good list.  Hopefully I can knock out quite a few tasks throughout the year!!  I'll give it a go, anyway. 
Join me. 
Yes.  Feel free to join me, and let's share our endeavors with one another.
