Sunday at NewPointe we offered an interactive feature to the service: Live text messaging. We put the question, "What would you do if you only had one month to live?" on the screens with instructions on how to text in your answer. The coolest part is that everything was live and in real time. As people replied to the question via texting, their answers would pop onto the screens instantly. Very cool...and a little risky...but it worked. We kept taking responses throughout the service and then used them on the center screen during the closing song (see pic):
It was very cool to allow those in attendance to participate in that way. The responses we received varied from the ridiculous to the profound. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy reading some of my favorite responses that got texted in (the way they came to us):
- say all the things i've been to afraid to say
- I would eat more of Lee Ann's homemade bread and chocolate cake without guilt and give Dave D more bear hugs.
- lick my elbow
- Rub Dwight's belly!
- eat 7000000 pancakes
- travel the world w my family
- I would buy kevin west and danny bunnelle some toupee's...seriously...
- Kiss my husband more!
- i would beg my dr to induce labor
- go skydiving
- meet with friends and renew our relationships
- Hit the sushi bar once a day.
- drive every highway I could as fast as I could
- spend more time with my family and less time working.
- Kiss a japanese guy!
- Quit my job
- do something absolutely crazy!
- go to golden corral and stuff myself silly
- get all my family together more often.
- Stop exercising
- eat sleep and party
- i would run a marathon spend time with fam:-)
- try to mend broken relationships& b their friend
So what would YOU do if you only had one month to live?

Some of us who were in cyber church with NewPointe were commenting during that part of the service and it was cool to participate that way too. That really made us think. Ted and I are doing alot more of living in the present since this series began.

This series has really made me start living. In our small group this week we talked about a phrase from the video, "What are you doing in your life that ONLY GOD can do?" And it really made me start thinking, there are a lot of changes that need to be made in my own personal life. This series has been great thus far.
