Good Wed morning Col Burroughs and Posse. We are all different but that just means that our level of excellence is varied, not that we can't do it or shouldn't try for it. Those who encourage us to do our best, to strive for the top are the outstanding leaders of our time.
Even without that outside push, many of us know within ourselves what we have and what we can give to something we believe in. I encourage you to find that which ignites your passion and you will find working toward excellence is more of a pleasure than an unpleasant task.

“What is human excellence? Is it the ability to move, inspire, and motivate people to the next higher level or is giving all you have to support and help others? Let’s find out what everyone thinks about this topic and here is another one of my thoughts and quotes on the subject…
‘Allow you daily small acts of kindness to degenerate into a lifetime of human excellence.’ — Sravani Saha Nakhro
My you have that sense of meaning, joy, and passion to reach the next level of human excellence through your actions and pursuits of giving and compassion; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy.

Phils song inspired me to put this video together
I hope you recognize that it is by God’s grace alone that you and I have skills, talents and knowledge. No doubt you understand that each person is equal in value in the LORD’s perfect view of humanity. I hope and pray that each of us encourage those who look up to us for leadership, guidance and advice. LORD thank YOU for maturing us. 'Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." [Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
LORD I pray for clarity of purpose and focus for each of us in our daily walk of faith. YOU alone know what the future holds for each of in this life. Give us ears to hear what YOU Holy Spirit know we should do. Thank YOU for sanctifying the soul of each of us as YOU prepare us to face future challenges and trials. ‘Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.’ [Proverbs 19:21 ESV]
I lift the most vulnerable in society to YOU LORD the preborn children, those preborn diagnosed at risk of autism, gender risk of abortion and all others at high risk. I pray that YOU convict and turn the heart of President Biden, his wife Jill and Vice President Harris away from supporting induced abortion towards supporting life. 'For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.' [Psalm 139:13-14a ESV]
I pray for humility and a sufficient increase of the fruit of the Spirit: goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and grace for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to serve the weakest and most needful among us dear LORD. Guide us where we are needed physically and virtually as well as through intercessory prayer guidance. ‘In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.’ [Hebrews 6:17-18 ESV]
The LORD admonishes each of us that humility and service to others is the higher level of human excellence. In the world system the political lords expect to be served. In the Biblical worldview the leaders serve with humility and respect to all. ‘rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free.’ [Ephesians 6:7-8 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Wednesday & Hump Day!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from another beautiful crystal clear blue sky in the Greater Boston area! I'll take each one we get!
Today is: “Human Excellence Day!” Why Not?
My quote/message choices:
"Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well." - John W. Gardner
"Excellence is not an exception; it is a prevailing attitude." - Colin Powell
"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence." - Vince Lombardi
"Excellence encourages one about life generally; it shows the spiritual wealth of the world." - T.S. Eliot
"Excellence is not a gift, but a skill that takes practice. We do not act “rightly” because we are “excellent,” in fact we achieve “excellence” by acting “rightly.” - Plato
"The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence." - Confucius
And who among us does not try to embellish the honor of excellence in life...
...And we know that...
"Great leaders induce and mentor people to follow and thus they become the guardian that reaches out to the next level of human excellence." - COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
