What if your greatest adventure isn't swimming with dolphins or climbing Kilimanjaro, but something far more profound? Since Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman popularized the concept in their 2007 film, "bucket lists" have become cultural fixtures-catalogs of experiences to complete before we "kick the bucket." But what if we've been thinking too small? What if God wrote your bucket list? This question invites us to reimagine our life goals through divine eyes, where the spectacular gives way to the truly significant, and our deepest fulfillment comes not from checking boxes but from aligning our hearts with heaven's priorities. The adventure God has in mind might look radically different-less about collecting experiences and more about embracing transformation. Instead of moving to an upscale neighborhood, perhaps your divine assignment is genuinely loving your current neighbor. Rather than dining with celebrities, maybe it's breaking bread with someone in need.
