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 ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THIER EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICIENT on this day October 13, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of November when you are at home . 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.

Today's theme is “Neighbor Day!” I quote, “Don’t throw stones at your neighbors if your own windows are glass.” — Benjamin Franklin

The picture depicts my inner-thought:

Certainly a good warning, but Ben may well have stopped with, "Don't throw stones at your neighbors." ;-)

I expect that you have a respectful and courteous relationship with your neighbors in the neighborhood that you live in. No doubt you recognize that the LORD admonishes us to love our neighbors who He places us among. The LORD reminds us to love our neighbors. 'If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.’ [James 2:8 ESV] my brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.

I lift the neighborhoods, neighbors, citizens, elected and appointed officials, and police force and Federal agent personnel in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Europe, India, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines, and Japan to YOU. I pray for an increase in community policing across neighborhoods accompanied by respect by police and security forces for the citizens and increased demonstration of mutual respect and trust by the citizens and local officials.
I pray that each adopted son and daughter of God who reads this prayer demonstrates our love for God WHOM we can’t see by the demonstration of love to the neighbors and strangers that we interact with. I pray we respect each person we interact since the soul of each person has been created in the image of God. The LORD reminds us to treat others as we would like to be treated. 'So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.' [Matthew 7:12 ESV]
I pray for an increase of respect for the law, the enforcers of the law, the district attorneys from local through Federal levels, and the judges and justices in the state and Federal Supreme Courts and federal appellate courts. Romans 13:1-3 'Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority?’
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Tuesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL old Ben Franklin was a head of his time my friend, but he threw some stones at the British Glass window on several occasions... Great quotes and thank you...

"During these uncertain times neighbors can be so important and at the same time don’t take down the fence tomorrow (lol). We have a lot of older neighbors that can use our help and as "Warriors" we should do our part to assist, same for our veterans (old and young); May you enjoy your neighbors and welcome new ones to your community, but keep the fence in tact (lol)' may you always take the best possible care of yourself, so you'll be there for your neighbors, because you never know when you'll need their help as well; may you always have a positive attitude toward your neighbors (we need to have civility and humility in this country from across the lawn or street); and keep safe (fence), secure (fence), happy (fence), and Healthy (fence). A little humor today - Gotta love those neighbors or NOT!" - COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good “Tuesday” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from a cool and rainy day here in the Greater Boston Area... Yep! Rain and wind all day long... Supposed to get over 1" of much needed rain...
More to follow!!!

“Neighbor Day!” Why Not?

1) "Definition of good neighbor: someone to be trusted; a courteous, friendly source of help when help is needed; someone you can count on; someone who cares." - Edward B. Rust, Jr.

2) "All will concede that in order to have good neighbors, we must also be good neighbors. That applies in every field of human endeavor." - Harry S. Truman

3) "The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

4) "Love your Neighbour; yet don't pull down your Hedge." - Benjamin Franklin

5) "We seek a peaceful world, a prosperous world, a free world, a world of good neighbors, living on terms of equality and mutual respect, as Canada and the United States have lived for generations." - Harry S. Truman


“Like a good neighbor, Warriors for Life (WFL) will be there!”— COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
