Live Like You Were Dying

It is amazing to me how fast time goes by. It has been over a month since I posted last. The time that has passed is gone and cannot be retrieved. Do you ever think of life that way? Do you ever stop and realize that the very moment you are in is a once in a lifetime moment? I have spent a lot of time thinking of this lately. We have resigned our church in Hutchinson and are moving to Wichita. We THINK that God wants us to plant a church there. Right now, we are going to work and try to be obedient in what we know. So many uncertainties. But I refuse to let life run me. There is so much that we miss because we fail to relish every moment. But our life is out of control. We work hard and make a living and, to be honest, enjoy very little of life. (At least in comparison to all the other stuff) You have heard the song, "Live like you were dying". I learned, through my cousin's death, that every day is a gift. And we are not certain how many days that will be. I want to live each to the fullest.
Do any of you feel the same way?

David - if you are considering planting a church I strongly encourage you to go through an assessment for church planters. Yu can do this through the Wesleyan Church - New Church Specialities - or a trained assesser through NCS (I am certified. If you have a positive assessment you become eliable for over a thousand dollars for assistance from the Wes. Church. Also - I would NEVER recommend a church planter to plant a church without a coach. You should consider this. If I can assit please do not hesitate to contact me. PR
