Good morning Col Burroughs. As usual a great topic. Many of us have been around our spouses/children more since we started this lockdown. The question is, how have you used that time? It's not just being around someone, it is how you are connecting/listening/relating to that person. I remember going to a kids' sports event and watching parents who paid absolutely no attention to the play on the field; even at the breaks when their child looked up at them, they were busy with phones/pads and other things. Just putting your butt in the seat doesn't count. Now that we are together are you working at that connection?

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
Lt Col Charlie Brown - Great message about parents and quality time with their children. That is desperately missing these days and you can tell by the children's behavior - just my 2 cents Charlie. Thanks for all the great MEMEs and quote for this topic.
"May you always carve out quality time for yourself (self-reflection and relaxation), with your family, your friends, and if you’re in charge of people, your team! It's so important! May you take the best possible care of yourself through quality time as well; and keep your family safe, secure, healthy and happy through quality time you spend with them. Create quality time to motivate, inspire, and connect!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Definitely one of the reasons I became a police officer because I could work nights and be able to do things with my kids! Every minute was worth more than every penny in the the world! Thank you for keeping things real! Have a great Tuesday!

LTC Stephen F.
The classic song from the 60s band "The Byrds"
I expect that you comprehend that quality time is a metaphor and that time ‘passes by’ at a constant rate for each one of us and those we love. The LORD knows when, where and how we are each born and the same for how we will die. HE ordains the ‘times’ for each one of us. In this SARS-CoV-2 season it is wise to make the best use of time 'Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.' [‘Ephesians 5:15-17 ESV] my brother-in-Christ PVT Mark Zehner.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer understands that YOU ordain the times for each one of and those we love or dislike - marriage, birth, physical death and potentially death of relationships. The Preacher reminds us “Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8 ESV 'For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.'
The LORD will judge each abortionist in HIS perfect timing. Those who confess and repent may well be forgiven by the LORD although the people may not well forgive these men and women. God’s view is infinitely more important that our view on this matter.
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Tuesday night and will awake healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn!

COL Mikel Burroughs good read/share: for the Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day. Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THIER EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICENT on this day August 18, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of September. As you know I would respond a lot throughout the week, but I am full-time DOD employee doing contracts for the Defense Contracting Management Agency. It is good to have some time on my break to respond my friend.
