Do you have one? The reference is to having a list of things to do before one "kicks the bucket" I don't plan on kicking the bucket but I do have a list of things to do before Jesus comes. The two main issues to me are seeing a number of people i care about saved and visiting some places.

I've done a fair bit of traveling and really enjoy experiencing other cultures. I'm going to Turkey in Oct. Another bro and I smuggled bibles into China in 2000 with the bible league. That was a little nerve wracking. A lot of cultures have some sort of ceremony to raise the flag each morning/evening. The one in Tiananmen square in China was quite interesting.

In any case one place on my list is the Wagah border crossing between Pakistan and India. They have a ceremony each night to lower the flag and close the gates. I found the video on you tube. Please keep in mind that these people are absolutely serious. From their side there is nothing comical or humorous about it. Nor is there anything humorous to the many Indian/Pakistani tourists who come to see it.

I of course see it in a completely different light.
