The 30 Days to Live Challenge

My favorite radio station, KSBJ has been following a local church's "30 Days to Live" challenge. The challenge is meant to give us all a reality check. It's the type of concept that brings priorities into focus, reminds us to be thankful for each breath we take, and pin points our daily decisions--which we know add up to the sum of our life.

I heard about this challenge, and decided I wanted to find out more about it. They sent me a packet of information. It contained a letter and a green rubber "message bracelet" --the type that became popular through Lance Armstrong's "Live Strong" campaign. I was almost disappointed by the simplicity of the packet. I expected worksheets, a brochure, maybe even a small journal to record my 30 day journey. What I found was simply a letter that could best be summarized by one statement it contained.
Every day, ask yourself what you would do if you had one month to live --then live that way.
