Faith is an everyday commodity in some circles. “Just have faith” or “Keep the faith” is thrown around every time there is some kind of crisis or need for encouraging words. But what exactly is real faith? What does it mean? We use the word glibly but rarely do you find someone who courageously acts on his or her beliefs. If you want to demonstrate real faith, then you should “live like you are trusting!”

I really love country songs. In my opinion so many of the good ones are true works of art. The way the composer turns a phrase and uses words to send a message or tell a story shows a lot of creative genius. “Live like you are dying” is a phrase from a popular heart rending song that always gets me thinking. If I knew that I were dying what would I do? The lyrics speak of a whole bucket list of activities the singer would seek to accomplish while alive and healthy knowing that someday he won’t have the chance.
