CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I will work on a better bomb, but worry was the bomb for today..Based on Mathew 6:27 Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?  I did a poor job of quoting and could only paraphrase; however in this time of Covid-19, political disgrace, and the continual need to trust in the workouts and not worry if it will be good, good weather, you can make it through or not … one should practice good judgement but not worry for this only creates additional stress that works against our health.
MOLESKIN:
I wish I could cadence, but I have two left feet and no rhythm, something I will work on for next time (and a better BOM).  Shout out for Tank jumping in and helping and for Woodshack finishing it off so everyone can hear what a good cadence sounds like, thanks HIM’s!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

God doesn’t need our good works, but our neighbors do.

From Matt Perman’s book — “What’s Best Next”.

“That’s the biblical ethic.  We are not to be scant and scarce in our good works, or even nominal and mediocre, but abundant and liberal in doing good.  We are not simply to do good for some people here and there; we are to do good for all people as often as we can and as much as we can.  While we cannot do all the good that is conceivable, the Scriptures do expect us to do a lot of good — that is, to abound in it.”

Proverbs 3:27 — “Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.”

Galatians 6:10 — So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone.”
