I expect that you generally treat people as though you would like to be treated in person and online. I have no doubt that you are spiritually mature enough to admit mistakes and deliberate insults, confess the mistake/insult and seek to repent. I expect the Holy Spirit prompts you to be reticent when in the company of spiritually immature or people offended by certain subjects. I pray you that I are conscious of the prompting of the Holy Spirit at all times. I pray that we each listen/read through and think before responding to slights, insults, and false statements in person and online. 'In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.' Matthew 7:12ESV], my sister-in-Christ Maj Kim Patterson .

I pray that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters are doing our best to treat others as we would like to be treated. Give us eyes to see and ears to hear how we are behaving in order for us to spiritually mature and become more gracious, kind, and compassionate. LORD, I pray that YOU make it clear to each one of when we are speaking in the presence of spiritually immature and /or think skinned individuals who are easily offended. ‘So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved.' [1 Corinthians 10: 31-33 ESV].

I pray that YOUR sacrificial love is shining through each of us and drawing others to YOU across this nation, as well as UK, France, Germany, Israel, Jordan, Canada, Mexico, India, South Korea, the Philippines and Australia. YOUR sacrificial love motivates us to share what we are able to sacrificially and to give of ourselves in helping other by time, talents, and treasure. 'My command is this Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends.' [John 15:12-13 ESV]

I pray that majority of the elected leaders, legislators, appointed officials, and judges throughout the USA, [as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America] are becoming more respectful in-person, in interviews, in phone conversations, and online. I pray that as summer draws to a close the partisanship heat will be tempered down, and light of communication will increasingly replace heat of confrontation.

I pray that you are slept well Wednesday night along with those you love and that you each awoke refreshed and healthy on Thursday, June 1, 2023 morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen a colonoscopy is still a MAC procedure, just a bit heavier with the Propofol. With eye surgery they keep it lighter so you don’t startle awake while they are working in the eye.

As I've posted before, I was called into HR for saying what day it is so I'm not going that way today (Some people have no sense of humor) If you can't find the way then you shouldn't be a leader.
