dash poem movie

Posted: February 7, 2010 in One Month to Live

I hope this works, someone sent me a link to the dash poem movie — a very brief, but excellent video that challenges us to “live the dash”.  A fitting way to end the One Month to Live series.  http://www.dashpoemmovie.com/

Wouldn’t be proper not to at least reference football once this week– after all, two big football events occur this first week in February: Signing Day and the Super Bowl.  Signing Day, for the uninitiated, is the day when high school recruits sign their letter of intent to attend, and play football for, a university.  [...]

Leave Boldly

Posted: February 2, 2010 in One Month to Live

We are coming up to the final week of our One Month to Live series.  This coming Sunday, the theme will be “Leaving Boldly”.  You could probably title it “Live Boldly”, because it has to do with living a “no regrets” kind of life.  When it all comes down to it, we want our lives [...]

How appropriate it is that this week’s theme for the One Month to Live series is to “Learn Humbly”.  In the past week we have received a report from a group of Mystery Worshippers and a list of Prescriptions from the Healthy Church Initiative (HCI) team.  Both of these have offered to us look at [...]

I have been reading the book “Momentum for Life” by Michael Slaughter as part of my peer mentoring group.  It occurred to me today that it dovetails nicely into the “One Month to Live” program.  Slaughter talks about what it takes to keep the momentum of our lives going forward in order to fulfill our [...]

As I shared in the Living the Dash blog, our One Month to Live series begins tomorrow — January 10.  It is important for us to take time regularly to assess where we are in our lives and how we are doing in focusing on our priorities and this next six weeks will provide a [...]

Living the Dash

Posted: January 7, 2010 in One Month to Live

This week begins our One Month to Live campaign.  Sunday (January 10) I’ll be preaching on “Living the Dash” to begin the 6 week program.  The dash refers to the dash between birthdates and deathdates on tombstones — you know, John Doe, October 1, 1900 – November 1, 1988.  That little mark on the stone, [...]
