On this day in 1916, the James Caird set sail from Elephant Island to reach South Georgia Island. If you don't know about it, I would encourage checking it out! An incredible story, marvelously told in its entirety in Endurance by Alfred Lansing.
To commemorate this day, I'm starting a new Rhythm of the Sword effort! In summary:
- A daily set of 20 pre-selected Psalms each day (including absolute bangers such as the Sons of Solomon Psalms, 78, 118, 3, 23, and more)
- A daily chapter of Matthew and a chapter of Ephesians (just read through the book then start over until the 100 days are up)
- An almost daily workout (Sundays off, M-F 40 Burpees, Sat 6 miles)
- A little writing every day and 0 Entertainment
I'm excited, and trying to put it out there as much as I can so as not to be a fool and call it quits. If they called it quits on the James Caird, they were dead men! And their task was many many times more difficult than mine.

Update
I called it quits on Day 17! It was a good 16-day stretch but I didn't finish the Psalms last night. Going to modify a bit and start fresh Sunday 5/12.
