How I did it
How to learn to play the guitar
It took me
6 years
It made me
Thankful

How I did it: I'm self-taught on the guitar.  I started by learning how to play the basic D, G, and C chords.  From there, it was just a lot of experimentation.I played on-and-off for about 4 years and can't really say I got much better.  Then I started using my guitar to worship God, and found that my abilities increased exponentially.  My fingers learned how to express the praise in my heart; and there was no stopping me from spre… Read how I did it…

How to learn to juggle
It took me
2 years
It made me
Feel accomplished

How I did it: I started out with several balls of socks, which I found to be far too lopsided to be of use.  So I graduated to a beginner set of Klutz balls.  I practiced every day, but I was frankly horrible and didn't know what I was doing.  Then I bought a book that showed the actual mechanics of the operation; suddenly it all made sense.  After a few days of practicing the basic 3-ball cascade, I had it down pat.Later I figured … Read how I did it…

Get my HAM radio license
Totally Worth It 16 months ago

I got my Tech license in 2003 and was upgraded to Extra by April 2005 just in time for Field Day. Amateur Radio is one of the greatest hobbies I’ve ever tried and I’ll continue to enjoy for the rest of my days!

Read every book in a series that has more than 10 books in it
Left Behind 16 months ago

Early last year I finished all fifteen of the Left Behind books by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. They are fantastic books and I recommend them to everybody. This is a really cool goal because it encourages people to get away from the computer and enjoy a good book.
