A few years ago I read the New York Times Best Seller, “Execution, the Discipline of getting things done.” I thought, “Hey that’ll be a good read and be good for me in being a “git er done” kind of Pastor!”  
I can’t tell you my disappointment when I came to the chapter titled, “The Leaders Seven Essential Behaviors,” and found that essential behavior number four was…are you ready?... “Follow Through.”  
Really?  I paid $27.50 to be told to … “Follow Through.”  Is there someone out there that doesn’t understand that getting things done means you have to, “Follow Through?” 
But isn’t that our main difficulty in living the Christian life?  
God says, “Love one another,” and I struggle with, “Follow Through.”  
God says, “Pray,” and I struggle with, “Follow Through.”  
God says, “Read my Word,” and I struggle with, “Follow Through.”
You get the idea. I’m bogged down with spiritual procrastination syndrome.  
How do I break the syndrome and get better at, “Follow Through?” 
That’s the destination this week as we continue on the Journey:
Committed to being Solution Focused.
