What would you do if you knew that you only had one month to live?
Would you take that trip of a life time? Would you spend every moment with your family close to you? Would you cry for a month because you lived your entire life without ever really living?
The community of Burns Flat, Oklahoma joins others in western Oklahoma as we explore this provocative question.
What would you do if you only had one month to live? While pastors and preachers of all denominations have asked this or similar questions over the years; churches in this area and individuals across the country are taking this challenge in 2010. We are using the book by Kerry and Chris Shook as a common daily devotional, or perhaps more accurately, as a common daily provocation. Reading a chapter a day, we will ask ourselves some challenging, perhaps life-changing questions.
Whether you buy the book, read someone else's copy, or just follow along online; the goal is the same. Let us do the self-examination now that will enable us to live a regret free life going forward.
If you live in the Burns Flat area, just contact Tom Spence at 580 562 4706 for more information. If you are wondering what this One Month to Live is all about, just go to http://www.onemonthtolive.com/ for more information.
This site will link you to daily articles about the one month to live challenge and hopefully provide a venue for those who want to take the challenge but live outside of the western Oklahoma area or whose work or life schedule does not accomodate the meeting schedule of the many churches in this area. Our prayer is that most will find a way to a church to be a part of this, but for those who can't; opportunity for online commentary will be provided in the daily articles.
Start the process now by asking God to illuminate the words that we will read together and ask him to send his Holy
Spirit to guide us to the life changing decisions that will enable us to live this life to the full and live it without regrets!
Semper Fidelis,
Tom Spence
