“When they (Jesus & His disciples) had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.” (Mark 14:26)
“Certain psalms also came to be associated with certain special days, particularly the Passover. When Jesus and the disciples sang a hymn before going to Gethsemane, it was probably one of the Hallel hymns. The Hallel (think: Hallel lujah) hymns included Psalms 113-118, plus 136. At least some of these were sung in the first century during temple ceremonies, but they were also used by families when they ate the Passover meal in their homes.” (Wolfe, Songs, Cymbals, and Tambourines, p. 71)

Hey everybody just wanted to say thanks for having me during the very first faith rally at your box. It’s incredibly reassuring to see other believers involved in this great sport known as Crossfit. I attended the Oly cert a week ago and had a great time meeting all of you. Chip, you’re a gracious host and what a great facility you’ve been given headship over. Again, thank you and God Bless Crossfit Cookeville and Crossfit Mayhem.
