I expect you have traveled quite a lot over your life – voluntary on vacations, and involuntary in military deployments and perhaps business. No doubt you have learned much in your travels. Hopefully you have shared what you have learned with those you are responsible for including those who rely on you for leadership and direction. ‘Beloved, it is a faithful thing you do in all your efforts for these brothers, strangers as they are, who testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their journey in a manner worthy of God.’ [3 John 1:5-6 ESV] my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
I pray that each and every adopted child of YOURS who reads or hears this prayer is blessed with ears to hear YOU and a heart/soul sensitive to YOUR spirit. LORD I pray for sufficient endurance in doing well, compassion for the prisoners, widows, widowers, evicted and terminated from employment. For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.’ [Hebrews 10:34-36 ESV]
I lift families and friends who are vacationing this summer after being cooped up to some degree to YOU LORD. I pray for safe and secure journeys for each and warm welcomes and bon voyages at each stopping point during the journey. ‘but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint. [Isaiah 40:31 ESV].
I lift the travel industry including airlines, cruise ships, hotels and motels, shopping outlets, theme parks, national and state parks, and their employees to YOU LORD. I pray for economic recovery and improved health [significantly reduced viral and bacterial infections] for people who live in or who are traveling in Florida, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, North & South Dakota, West Virginia, South Carolina, Alaska and other states led by leaders who seek wisdom from YOU. ‘so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company. May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.’ [Romans 15:32-33 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep 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 morning Col Burroughs and Posse. Safe riding! I know you are on the road and we are looking forward to your arrival on the east coast.
This year has been a tough one for those who like to get out and enjoy the outdoors whether on foot, horseback or cycle....I am glad to see things loosening up because it is so necessary to people's mental health and well being. Regardless of how you travel, you should be able to do so safely.
What is it that you are looking forward to doing now that things are getting back to normal?

COL Mikel J. Burroughs it was a rain out. Got to Cedartown, it had started raining, checked the radar and a line of thunderstorms were heading my way from Piedmont, AL. With only 25 mm x2 of rubber on the ground discretion won out. Maybe next week.
