Spiritual Pull Ups

I would love to say that I’m a consistent blogger. Actually, I would even go so far as to say I enjoy writing posts like this, where I can speak freely and even sound clever doing it. If you consider yourself someone who knows me well, or has been around me long enough, you might appreciate the posts I will be writing on this blog.

I’m not the most clear, or introspective, or witty, or funny writer. I do have many thoughts, some of which I will try my best to post on this blog. 

Why spiritual pull ups?

Discipline. If you’ve never done pull ups before, well you should try doing them. I can’t do too many. I know people who can. They are strong. People who can do pull ups are strong people. At least in comparison to their weight. But still. 

Its spiritual pull ups that no one wants to do. Everyone knows its good for them. But sometimes its too hard to start from scratch, being able to do half a pull up, and trying to convince yourself that this is good. 

I want to try and record some of my thoughts because often, nothing gets acted upon. Spiritual Discipline leads to spiritual health. 

Song is so hot

This song makes me wanna run during the hurricane.

If I didn’t die outside, my mom would probably kill me when I come inside. 

Reading it right now. Eye opening really. Inspirational. Can’t believe this book is so old its still so relevant. I figure it’ll be relevant in 50 years too. Maybe I’ll read it again then.

Sneaker Wars

If you’re interested in how giants became giants, read this! Adidas is HARDCORE!!! Changed the business of sports forever. 

Yeah. Had to.

Poorly Made in China

first business-y book i’ve ever read. Really interested in Chinese politics, business, and culture now. Those chinese…. crazy 

Books I’ve read so far…. in order:

Pujols: More than the Game - a inspirational/informative biography about the journey of Albert Pujols and his (ridiculously epic) faith. Pretty good, really interesting to see how the greatest baseball player for the past 10 years has been living his life for God and God only.

Its Spanish. But its good! →
