Definition of consistency

according to Chat GPT- “Consistency refers to the quality or state of being in agreement or harmony with oneself, with others, or with a particular standard or set of principles. It implies that something is reliable, stable, and predictable, and that it does not contradict itself or violate any established rules or norms.”

Oxford definition:
the quality of always behaving in the same way or of having the same opinions, standard, etc.; the quality of being consistent

let’s be consistent men!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My wife was selected by KCS to go back to grad school (again!) for more education on literacy.  She’s in her final course, which focuses on mentoring other teachers to become more proficient and effective reading teachers.  Her school had more than one teacher selected for the program, which brings this story to life.  As the professor was describing their final project, and the type of person to look for for this project, she turned to her colleagues, and they all simultaneously said, “Ms. Cooper”.

Then I asked myself the question, “When there is a topic of conversation, when does the room simultaneously say, “David”?  What characteristics and behaviors do I demonstrate that people will immediately associate with me?  I challenge you to consider this question for yourself.  When does your name come up in conversation?

Inch worms again?!

THE SCENE: around 35, full moon and dry
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

warm up stuff

THA-THANG:
I had a stack of about 30 or so cardboard pieces with different exercises and quantities on them. The PAX grabbed an exercise and ran to the next cone, roughly 30 yards away and did the exercise and quantity. Then they ran back to grab another card and brought it up to the cone as well. We continued until all cards were brought to the next cone. We repeated the process along a marked path. Some runs were longer than others, and we also picked up additional cards along the way. Exercise included were as follows: Merkins, squads, toe touch planks, inchworms, Burpees, dry docks, crunches, big boy sit ups, side straddle hops, jump, squats, and maybe a couple more I can’t remember. Quantities varied from five Merkins to 30 dry docks.

MARY:
Not much in terms of at work today. We just finished the last couple minutes with a round of ring of fire inchworms

What is a chiral molecule?

A molecule is said to be chiral if the object and its mirror image are non-superimposable, just like our right and left hand. They are essentially the same but completely different. One hand when placed over the other on a table do not line up, but when placed up against them selves they do. In the case of the well-known chiral painkiller, ibuprofen, the (S) or right -enantiomer has the desired pharmacological activity while the (R) left -enantiomer is totally inactive. In the case of Thalidomide, The R-enantiomer is an effective sedative, which has a soothing effect that relieves anxiety and makes the patient drowsy; while, the S-enantiomer is known to cause very serious teratogenic birth defects.
We can see this example with God. God created us in his own image when looking at us, we may look like him, but we are way different than he is. The difference that separates us from him is sin. When we separate ourselves from him we can become ineffective or even toxic and deadly. So how can we change this? Turn away from sin and come closer to God. Read his word, pray to him, follow his commands. When we turn towards him we change.
