CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Current thoughts on Isaiah 26:3, after some recent readings and a sermon on the topic:

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

A little deeper dive into the well-known verse looks at “perfect peace”, which in the Hebrew language is actually “Peace Peace”. The Hebrew language uses saying a word multiple times as a way to emphasize it. The other word I dove into is “stayed”, which intends to convey “leaning on, resting on, being supported, sustained”. So, my encouragement to myself and others is to experience the shalom that we all desire, and to get there by leaning, resting, etc on God. That implies spending great amounts of time with God.

MOLESKIN:

It is always nice to be in the gloom with the brothers. It’s been awhile since I Q’ed a workout, so there were some commands that were out of order. Nothing but love (or silent disdain) from the PAX. Command order was restored before the warmup was over. There were some complaints about lack of creativity, and the jumping lunges did start burning. I didn’t feel sorry for them though, just added a few jump squats.
