Dreams and Fears

Recently, I had the opportunity to cross an item off of my to-do-before-I-die list. This happened when I got to finally see my favorite soccer player take the field in a live match in Toronto against my boys in red. Who is this player you may ask? Well it is none other than French national player, Thierry Henry. This was only the second game I got to this season for the TFC but watching my soccer hero play made it all worthwhile. I can say without doubt that he is pure magic on the ball and as expect arrogant and brash as any Frenchman should be.

This got me to thinking about the dreams and fears I have for the future since I am in school
retraining and currently not working full-time. Ultimately, this proved to be a hard exercise. After much soul searching, I came up with simply this: I want to live a life of purpose that glorifies God, that honors my wife and children and is filled with lots of laughter, Board games, good music and good conversation and intimate relationships that care more about depth and honesty over frivolity and superficiality.

What is my greatest fear .... that I will FAIL at accomplishing my dream.
