"I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do."
~ Leonardo Da Vinci

It was 5:00 somewhere when it hit me. It was Wednesday. I was tired and to be honest, a little cranky. I get that way after long days. Tuesday was a very long day. I was at the YMCA at 5:30a and didn't get home until 12:30a after a late night meeting with my India team. (No pitty please, I'm the goof who wrote all the appointments into my Microsoft Outlook.) So with confirmation time quickly approaching and knowing that I still needed to pick up the pizza beforehand, I was confronted with the opportunity to go home for a quick nap or go to the Y for a swim. I really, really wanted a nap. I knew I needed to get some exercise. I got in the car and wallowed in the endless quagmire of self-pity all the way to the lockerroom. I swam. Actually, I swam farther than I have swam in a long time, 2000 yards to be exact. Nothing my Michael Phelps standards but pretty good for me.

The reason I swam so far is because I spent so much time thinking. It's amazing how peaceful a pool can be. No noise. Nothing to do except think and not drown. I thought about my schedule. I thought of all the things that I don't like doing. I thought of all the things that I would like to do. I thought of all the things that I should do. I asked God for clarity. I think we all need to take some time to ask the question, "what am I doing with my dash," that little line that seperates our birth date from our death date.

I know what God wants. He wants us to go. Go and share with the world that a Savior has been born. Go and share. Go and give. Go and help. Go and live. Go and love. Go and learn. Find out what God is asking you to do and go. Just do it.
