29 June 2014 — Don’t Hold Back!

Got up (again) a little later than normal around 07:40 AM.  Did the morning stuff and headed for the gym.  By 0830 AM I was deep into my workout of Heavy Dumbbell Pullovers, Heavy DB Shrugs, and Heavy Barbell Shrugs.  I won’t explain the regimen but know that I did 90 Sets of 12 Reps.  Stopped, and went home.

Ate some eggs, Blueberries, and Oatmeal.  Church, next.  Had some fantastic speakers.  However, the simple message that came through that seemed to speak to our efforts as people and our supreme focus on our callings came from 2 Samuel 11 when David screwed up with Bathsheba.  We all know the story and the ramifications and how he essentially was tagged with violence for the rest of his life.  Bottom Line for all of us (and let me insert that I am a criminal of the highest order forgiven only by God) we must stay focused on the true passions that we possess and that we pursue.  I believe in “Asymmetrical Living” — which, simply means that all that we have needs to be unleashed on accomplishing the things we set out to do. I am not a “ying and yang” sort of guy.  A great quote from a movie that I recently saw that was put out by “Young Life” says, “Nothing great was ever accomplished by holding back.”

Let me cease with this rambling and encourage each of you to, “not hold back.”  Define your passion (kids, family, cars, sports, religion, money) and go for it!  This is our time.  Until tomorrow….Douglas E. Graham
