Summary

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! A friend of mine just learned that he has terminal cancer. He wrote a letter to his church friends and it was tremendous. He doesn't regret what he didn't do. He's only sad that he cannot continue doing what he has chosen for his life. That is powerful to me. Would it be that way for me? How about you? If you knew this was your last weeks on this earth, what would you do? This episode explores that important territory:&...

0:00.0	Welcome to the Excel Stillmore podcast. I am your host, Chris Emerson. I'm here to encourage you in your walk with God. Thank you for joining in.
0:14.8	Today's podcast is sponsored by a wonderful company, Creation to Revelation. This group of Christians believe it is extremely important that we teach the Word of God to our kids.
0:27.1	They have original graphic illustrations from the beginning of the Bible to the end,
0:32.2	featuring the beautiful and consistent presence of Jesus throughout.
0:36.5	You can explore all of that at creation to revelation.com.
0:41.7	I'm so thankful you're here, so let's get started. Welcome back. I am thankful, as always,
0:50.0	that you've tuned in, although today I kind of wish we were face to face, because I would love
0:56.8	to ask you if today's title, Bull named Fumanchu, means anything to you? My guess is there are some
1:05.2	people who know exactly what today's episode is about. Even if you're not sure what a fu-manchu is,
1:13.3	you know that this is a lyric from a popular country music artist and you may already be
1:19.5	singing the song in your head. But there are others, I'm sure, who even at this point have no
1:25.0	clue what I'm talking about. And the dividing line between the two probably has something to do with our age, or at least
1:33.2	our taste in music. But today, before we're done, I want to read the lyrics for you from a
1:40.1	Tim McGraw song dating back to 2004. The song is titled Live Like You Were Dying, and
1:47.7	admittedly, it's some kind of heavy stuff. It may make you think about people that you've lost,
1:54.3	or maybe people who are at the end of their lives, or perhaps just sit back and think about
1:59.0	the ending of your own life.
2:08.6	And while most of that is unpleasant, maybe today it can help us understand the way we need to be living.
2:18.6	I want to help you articulate in detail with clarity what it means to live as if you were near the end of your life.
2:21.8	I promise not to get all preachy today,
2:27.1	but you should know from the Bible that we have no clue how long we have here.
2:32.2	You don't know when you will pass from this life or when Jesus will return,
