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 MAGNIFICIENT on this day March 1, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of April. 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 sometime on the weekend before I start my running around (CHRUCH TIME THIS MORNING)to respond my friend.
Today's theme is “Rural America Day!” I was raised in Ridersiville, Alabama--Dirt Road in the late 70s and early 80s. I thank God for the work ethic Grandma and Grandpa taught me on 5 acers of land, living of the earth. God is Great all the time.
The picture depicts my inner-thought:

I expect that you appreciate fresh fruit, vegetables and other products from the bounty of the earth created by the LORD and that YOU enjoy freedom of travel and vacationing in this nation Joe.
I pray that you and I realize that the LORD is in complete control of the environment and all creation and HE is patient, righteous and HE does not share HIS glory with anyone, my brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
Thank you, LORD for YOUR perfect creation. YOU atoned for all sin of YOUR adopted sons and daughters and yet sin has infected all of creation. It is only by YOUR restraint Holy Spirit that the potential virus and bacteria epidemics are held to bay
I lift the farmers in California and other areas of this nation and around the world where radical-left bureaucrats and corrupt officials are restricting water and other resources from farmers, small farming towns and communities to YOU. I pray that YOU convict those bureaucrats and their supervisors and do what it needs to get their attention to release the water and other resources required from farming and the livelihood of the farmers and their families.
I pray that each adopted son and daughter of YOU demonstrates respect for our neighbors, those who raise the food we eat, those who prepare the food for distribution, those who distribute food, those who serve us, those who clean up after us, those who protect us, those who treat us medically and dentally.
I lift ministries which collect and distribute food and other essentials to people who have lost much including home, livelihood, and health to YOU. I pray that YOU bless the volunteers and move people to support these national, regional and local ministries with their time, talents and treasure.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Sunday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs An interesting topic today. There is not enough appreciation in my opinion for what rural America is or what our farmers do. That was pretty clear from a number of candidates during a recent debate when one said "farming is easy". Only from a distance is it easy work to get one's hands dirty. It's clear that what made us great (hard work and sweat and faith) is currently undervalued by some people. I do believe we will all come to regret that.

I wouldn't give the way I was raised for no man's money, growing up on a farm prepared me for life, and will continue my life for a long time to come.
