We’re starting a new series that we’re calling “One Month to Live.” The idea behind this series is if you knew you had one month to live, what would you value? This question isn’t new. It’s been around as long as death has been here If you knew you had one month to value, what would you do?
One month to live, what would you do? Talk to me.
- Go to Israel.
Quit my job.
Spend it with your family.
Eat!
Slow down.
Drink Diet Pepsi. Amen! Amen to that! (But why diet?)
Take a cruise?
(Well, for starters, I wouldn't pick the month of February!)

Ilove thlist from Alice. I had 10 things on my list. Mainly dealing with my family and one special friend.
Nice list but I would put on mine...have sex once.
1. my family
2. my spiritual life
I found out that my cancer has spread. My one month list may become my 'one month list.' I wish I had made this list before chemotherapy.
To turn the words I love you into daily acts of kindness. To love my family more and be who they need me to be.To pray as I go, over strangers I pass, foreclosed homes, boarded up shops...To smile when no one smiles back. To forgive and let go of the past...and to live each day with purpose and passion...
Never leave my wife's side....
Forgive myself and then forgive others...
oh yeah...go to Las Vegas...
Is that really pastor Gene on the bulletin cover?
THe answer is...no. That is not me (notice the skinny waist!). If I ever bungee jumped, you would only hear two sounds; me screaming like a little girl and the bungee cord going 'snap!'
