The premise of our church study series for the new Fall involves thinking about how you would answer the question, "If you had only thirty days to live, how would you live your life?"

Today's reading looks at how to actually make some of those life changes.

"People who know their lives will soon be over tend to feel a desperate urge to change. But a desperation to change is not enough. In order to sustain the changes, we have to be connected to a power source beyond ourselves." - From One Month to Live by Kerry and Chris Shook

What kind of changes do you need to make? Do you trust God to help you?

"One thing we owe to Our Lord is never to be afraid. To be afraid is doubly an injury to him. Firstly, it means that we forget him; we forget he is with us and is all powerful; secondly, it means that we are not conformed to his will; for since all that happens is willed or permitted by him, we ought to rejoice in all that happens to us and feel neither anxiety nor fear. Let us then have the faith that banishes fear. Our Lord is at our side, with us, upholding us." - From Meditations of a Hermit by Charles de Foucauld

Our pastor begins a study of One Month to Live tonight at the church at 6:00. Come join him and explore this fascinating book.

Grace and Peace,
