Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. Praying for all those deployed or in danger on this RED Friday.
Wake up calls...you never know when they will come. Some people seem very good at ignoring them and putting on earplugs so as not to hear anything that will cause them to move out of their comfort zone. While it may be tempting to do that, it isn't a good place to stay; no progress was ever made in that place. If you want to move ahead, be creative, do worthwhile things, you have to be willing to wake up and take that call for change.

No snooze button for me when the light comes through window I'm up, ready for coffee, and then start the day.

It doesn't matter what time I hit the sack I am up right about 0530 every morning without the clock. My wife would sleep until noon if I let her.

I expect your zest for life inspires those who rely on you for leadership, advice and knowledge. No doubt there have been periods of your life that you were awake nights including military duty, caring for infant and toddlers, and perhaps sleepless nights. I hope and pray that no matter when we waken, you and I spontaneously praise and thank the LORD. 'My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples.’ [Psalm 57_7-9 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.

I lift those who work at night and sleep during the day to YOU LORD. Some people work by choice while others work shifts including police, hospital medical and staff employees, military service members, and repair technicians. I pray that YOU enable each to get sufficient sleep and rest to work safely and alertly. I pray YOU bless them with great listening skills and an abundance of love especially when families are on different work schedules. LORD I pray that you calm tension in every household of YOUR adopted sons and daughters with spouses working and sleeping at opposite times. 'I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. [John 1633 ESV]
LORD I pray that YOU bless couples raising infants and toddlers with a large measure of compassion, kindness and goodness especially during teething periods, nightmares, and crying periods during the night. I pray that YOU bless each spouse with stamina, endurance, the ability to sleep well and ears to hear what they need to hear during the night. I pray that YOU protect the infants from SIDS and that YOU enable each toddler to see enough unmasked human expression as they need to develop as a well-adjusted child. ‘The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain’ Isaiah [11:8-9 ESV] By YOUR grace, YOU bless parents with insight into how their children learn best. ‘Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.’ [Proverbs 22:6 ESV]
In these challenging times, remember the admonition of the LORD and take heart “But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.’ [Ephesians 5:13-16 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Friday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

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 May 14, 2021 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of October. 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 recovery time

Today's message is wake up day, after a HEART TRANSPLANT I MUST SAY THIS HAS NEVER BEEN MORE TRUER IN MY LIFE GOING FORWARD.

I quote," some of us wake up, some us roll-over.
Mark Twain
The picture depicts my inner thoughts

Not me SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Yu know I'm and going everyday my friend. Have a great day Joe...

“It’s definitely time to ‘Wake Up’ and get started with inspiration and motivation on this great day all of my RallyPoint Members, Friends, and Connections. Don’t waste any time, you might miss out on something great…

‘Wake Up!”

May you wake up every morning with a smile and tell yourself that today is the day that we make things happen (whatever that may be for you). It could be a cup of coffee, a nice morning walk, or just rolling out of bed refreshed and ready to take on the world. May you wake up positive and inspired each and every day; 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. This is your ‘wake up’ call everyone.” – COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Join me on Saturday evening for Warriors for Life (WFL) as we explore and discuss “Neurofeedback from Traumatic Brain Injury!”
