the perfect number

orangeclouds has tagged me with this lot of 7 by 7 things to answer...

Seven dreams before death:

1. find a good thing
2. raise godly offpring
3. "save one more for Jesus" - though there's only one thing that saves, and it has nothing to do with me... nevertheless "save", and mature, and pass on the baton etc :)
   
4. be able to make music (play something random/original on a musical instrument that actually sounds half decent!)
5. harmonise on the fly
   
6. experience autumnal and wintry canadian landscapes (think maple leaves and snow galore)
   
7. fight the good fight, finish the race, keep the faith
