Good News - October 2022

Now that we hope things are back to a new normal in the way we live our lives, Good News Wants to Know... What's the top item you would like to check off on your bucket list? The top thing to cross off my bucket list – to lose the 10 pounds necessary to shed, as preparation for my enjoyment of all the culinary delights that I feel obligated to partake in as I continue to travel the world. Alan Platt, Doxa Deo/City Changers I confess that I really don’t have a bucket list. I look forward to traveling again once the airlines get their issues worked out. I am grateful that we have been blessed to see and experience some of the most beautiful parts of the world. William “Bill” C. Davell, Director, Tripp Scott The top of my list would beAntarctica, but realistically I don’t think it’s going to happen. Bill Tolia, Chairman, South Florida CBMC I’d love to take my son to every ballpark in the U.S. He likes Roblox + Minecraft more than baseball, so this whole thing will likely take place in the metaverse in the year 2033. Bob Denison, President, Dension Yachting I've been blessed to have had the opportunity to do most of what I've wanted to be able to do...but one thing I haven't, and probably won't, is hiking the entire Appalachian Trail straight thru. I've effectively hiked, in bits and pieces, the trail from the North Georgia Mountains to Virginia but have never come close to having the six months or so needed to hike the whole trail, and I don't think I'd do that to my wife Ashley or my knees later on. Brian Mudd, Program Director and Host of The Morning Rush & The Brian Mudd Show, iHeartMedia I had the honor of traveling to the cradle of our faith when I joined Governor DeSantis on the trade mission to Israel, and that was a bucket list item. I think the next one would be to travel Europe with my wife and visit the cultures of the countries of Italy and Spain where our ancestors came from. Chip LaMarca, State Representative, Florida House District 100 Even though I am not a big traveler, I would love to travel to Alaska with my wife and enjoy God’s creation in a way that I have never experienced. That would be super cool! Chris Lane, President, First Priority of South Florida Despite all the travels over my varied careers, there is one “bucket list" trip I would love to take: a family tour of the Holy Land. With the sights, sounds, smells and flavors of Israel combined with the deep spiritual connection of our family’s faith, that would be worth checking off! Chris Simpson, President, CBMC International Mine is: Get down to writing the Forman Family’s history. H. Collins Forman, Jr., P.A. Primary on my bucket list is to win as many souls as possible for God's Kingdom - with one on each hand when I go to heaven...besides this, I'd like to retrace the steps and voyages of Paul's second missionary journey. Deborah Cusick, FAUCampus Volunteer, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship The top item I would like to check off on my bucket list is seeing my immediate family come to know Christ as Savior. Runner ups would be skydiving, paying off retirement house on the coast, and vacationing along the west coast. Dennis DeMarois, Executive Director and CEO, Gathering Palm Beach County I have always wanted to tour England, Ireland, Scotland and other areas in Europe. We are planning such a trip for 2024 for our 25thAnniversary, but I have learned not to plan too far in advance and also be ready for God to have another plan. If I could go today, though, I would! Dolores King-St. George, President, King Communications and GraceNet Radio For the past 12 years we have been building a mission Hospital and College of Nursing in a very rural area of Nigeria. Next door to the medical complex are two schools; it is our vision to see all 4 institutions self-sustaining and flourishing as they make an impact for Christ on the region and the entire country. Don Campion, President, Banyan Air Service, Inc. Bucket list? Hmmm, great question. Well, my greatest hope beforemy time here comes to an end is that in some way or another God saw fit to use me to bring at least 10,000 souls to Jesus through my broken and imperfect efforts and His Great and perfect Grace. Starting of course with all my family, friends, and associates who have been a blessing to me. Eddie Vega, Pastor, Fuel Life Church Laurie and I have been wanting to go on a river cruise since before Covid. We cannot wait for next summer or fall to go! We are not real fans of ocean cruises (as we both get seasick very easily), but we feel a river cruise would be fantastic! Fred Scarbrough, DVM, Founder, Scarbrough Animal Hospital and HOPE South Florida Bucket listsbecomemorevaluableasweget older.
