Good morning Col Burroughs. Wishing you a safe journey back to the Eagle's nest today.
Excellent topic; we often forget that the biggest barrier to accomplishment is ourselves. Maybe you are battling fear, anxiety, depression or just a failure to believe in your own ability to overcome, but that will be the biggest obstacle that stands in your way.
I taught a section of an advanced master's class yesterday and I heard comments that resonate with this. I want to but.... I am not sure I can.... I don't know if I will be taken seriously.... All of these require conquering oneself before the goal can be accomplished.

Steven Curtis Chapman - More Than Conquerors (Live)
“More Than Conquerors" available now everywhere you consume music: iTunes: http://smarturl.it/SCCWorAndBelieItunes?IQid=vevo Spotify: http://smarturl.it/SCCW...
I expect that you realize that by God’s grace we who are HIS are more than conquerors by HIS demonstration of love for each of us. Hopefully, you and I remember to submit our tongue to the LORD each day and hour that we are tempted by our fleshly nature to react to words spoken to us. I pray that we each remember to listen carefully and ponder before we respond. ‘No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. ]Romans 8:37-39 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown .
LORD I lift up the deployed servicemen and women on the Global War On Terrorism to YOU as well as the members of the police forces, agents and deputies facing Antifa and other radicals intent on destruction in Portland, Oregon; Seattle, Washington; Kenosha, Wisconsin; Atlanta, Georgia; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, New York City. I pray that the service members deployed to defeat terrorists and their networks are successful in their efforts to interdict terrorists and take down the financial support networks. I pray that YOU bless the police, agents, and deputies protecting citizens, homes, apartments, businesses, Federal and state property with wisdom and insight to interdict the rioters and looters. I pray that the leaders of the riots will be captured with minimal life lost and they will be held accountable.
I pray that each family of YOUR adopted sons and daughters will be blessed with wisdom and discernment. Siddhartha AKA Buddha was wise in his own eyes as was Seneca, Plato, Napoleon Hill, and other individuals whose quotes COL Mikel posted. Only fools believe they can conquer their own self on their own. Without the LORD’s blessing we can not even control our own tongue let alone our total self. 'If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. [James 1:26-27 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Sunday night and will awake healthy on Monday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
Lt Col Charlie Brown - Excellent quotes for Sunday's topic Charlie. When you fix yourself internally the possibilities are limitless. Have a great start to Monday Charlie and we made it back safely yesterday - here is a picture of the mountains in Buena Vista, CO yesterday as we were leaving on the motorcycle.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Let me leave you with this final thought Charlie:
"May you always dig down deep, reach to the very depths of your soul to conquer any fears you have and conquer any adversity you're faced with. May you stay positive no matter what you have in front of you - overcome it. May you keep yourself healthy; and keep your family safe, secure, happy and healthy. Conquer yourself and you conquer the world - Your world!" - COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
