I officially have to complete 38.7 projects per week in order to complete 2012 this year–which means that I’m already behind–except that I’ve started on a Bible reading project, a blogging project, a sewing project, a couple of different reading projects, and a memorization project. So I think I’m probably right on target at the one week mark :-)

I’m not at all superstitious–and I happen to believe that no man knows or even can know the time of the end of the world.

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only…Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.”
~Matthew 24:36, 42

But the hype surrounding the Mesoamerican calendar that “ends” on December 21, 2012 makes for a convenient excuse for my variation on the bucket list.

Introducing…

In the upcoming year, I propose to accomplish 2012 things–one for each year since the first coming of our Lord.

I have already prepared a tentative list of 2012 items to do–but I reserve the right to change any to all of them as I progress. I also reserve the right to include as many as 366 “sleep” items to the list (since the prospect of accomplishing 2012 things in 2012 might be inclined to infringe upon my sleeping time!)

Of course, I’ll keep you all updated as I race through the year toward [insert scary music] the end of the world!
