It is quite popular these days to create a bucket list of all the things you want to do before you die, or in other words, before you kick the bucket, but have you heard of anyone who made a spiritual bucket list? When I think of this, the thief who accepted Jesus as his savior while slowly dying on Calvary next to Him comes to mind. He didn’t have much time to experience the many milestones of spiritual life, but he did achieve a few of the big ones when he announced that he believed in God, demonstrated his faith in the fact that Jesus was His Son, and received a dinner invitation to dine in Paradise with the Messiah Himself. I have always thought that he made a slow start, but finished well.
