With my son working on his vehicle trying to keep it going as long as possible it gets frustrating when you think you’ve fixed one problem then you notice another problem.  He’s persevering and learning.  In life if we aren’t seeing progress, answered prayers, etc.  Don’t give up, keep pushing, working hard doing the right things.  Eventually we will see progress and we learn a lot on the journey.
MOLESKIN:
Prayed for the guys at the Goliath at the Gorge.

Spoke about the use of the term “remember” in Genesis. As a verb the Hebrew word “Zakar” means “to remember”, but as a noun it means “male”. We were made to bear the image of God and to remember Him, but the Old Testament gives a detailed record of Israel’s failure to do so. So just as we remember to set alarms and set out clothes, we should be men who remember God and who we were designed to be
MOLESKIN:
Pray for Drive Thru and his wife as they are trying to conceive and have just begun therapy, Midas for exam grades, and myself and my wife as we try to buy our first home.

When we first come out, it’s about survival. Then we get to the point that we can go for a whole workout. It’s important that we don’t stop there and that we continue to push ourselves to improve.

MOLESKIN:
FNG Rosetta showed up after receiving a Flying EH from “the Snowman” Frosty. Some mumble chatter about how eerily similar this was to the Killer B’s. However, if you want to be the Iron PAX, you have to train like the Iron PAX!

Next week is the CSAUP – show up and be ready!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Building off Abort’s COT talk about inertia I came across this quote about quitting. “If you quit now… you’ll end up right back where you first began, and where you first began, you were desparate to be where you are right now. Keep going.” Whether it be F3, work or life goals, don’t give up. My M compares me to a boulder on a hill. Super hard to get going but once you give it that push and it comes to the point where the slight bit of momentum catches it going forward it’ll be hard to stop. Let’s be the boulder, be tenacious in going after our goals.

MOLESKIN:
Grossly underestimated the time it would take to finish the 500. Need to plan more exercises to have in the back pocket just in case.
