CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In life, we have a lot of things that we have to try to keep in balance.  Work/home, food/exercise, cost/benefit, etc.  But there’s one area in which, there’s no way to pile enough on one side to balance the other, and that’s the sin/righteousness balance.  No matter how much good we try to do, there’s nothing we can do in our own strength to tip that balance in our favor.  Titus 3:5 says, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost”.  He put His thumb on the scale when he sent His Son to take the penalty for our sin through His death.
MOLESKIN:
My precision calculation of the number of stones to put in the balance ended up a little high.  But that’s OK, as someone decided to accelerate the filling of the other side by a bit.  Ended up adding burpees at the end, so it all worked for the best!.
