The Colonel's Motivational/Inspirational Quotes and Message of the Day!

Sgt (Join to see) You're very welcome brother Kerry.

Sgt (Join to see) - Definitely heading out the door inn about an hour to catch a flight to Costa Rica as we continue to chase a dream brother. Thanks for the great quotes...

“The ‘Chase Dreams’ message comes today as we head out for Costa Rica to continue work on dream that Steve Durgin, myself, Victory for Veteran, Inc. and a number of Investors have been working for the last two years. We’re catching up to that dream and it’s becoming a reality. That what visions and dreams are all about. Our dream is to build a Life Readiness Center (LRC) for Veterans and Frist Responders that will provide a variety of holistic modalities for PTSD, TBI, MST, and other Invisible Disabilities/Wounds in a tranquil off the grid location of beauty. That leads me to this quote about Chasing Dreams…

‘It’s not enough just to dream of your ideas, you’ve got take action to bring about their creation.’ — Doreen Virtue

May you catch your dreams that you’re chasing; 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. I’ll be posting and responding from Costa Rica as best I can over the next 10 days.” – COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Outstanding meme Sgt. Harkins.

I hope your dreams are in alignment with the plan of God for your life as well as HIS plan for the lives of those who depend on you. I expect you appreciate the types of challenges which stimulate your mind without too much stress on your talents and resources. No doubt you are aware of the admonitions of the LORD to submit our plans to HIM and rely on HIS guidance. ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways submit to Him and HE will make your path straight.’ [Proverbs 3:5-6] my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).

I lift each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are facing significant challenges to health, welfare and/or financial resources especially those suffering from PTSD, mental illness, significant burns, communicable diseases and their family members and caretakers to YOU LORD. YOU are always aware of the needs and desires of each person. By YOUR grace YOU provide for our needs. Sometimes YOU act sovereignly while many times YOU motivate people to help in YOUR perfect timing. ‘And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life.’ [Luke 12:22-25 ESV]
YOUR common grace blesses all flora, fauna and humanity with sunshine, rain, gentle winds, morning dew, and the symbiotic relationship between flora and fauna – oxygen and carbon dioxide generation and exchange. ‘The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion. The LORD is good to all; His compassion rests on all He has made.’ [Psalm 145:8-9 ESV]
I pray for sufficient self-control, patience, and stamina for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters, dear LORD, to persevere through the challenges we will face through the summer. I am thankful that YOU are strengthening the character and fortitude of each of us as YOU prepare us. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. [2 Peter 1:5-9 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Thursday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Friday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Work hard, live out your dreams it's very rewarding.

I want the memories of hatred and revenge to fade and my depression to end. I want to find a new dream and a fresh sanctuary or space to adopt. I want memories of a great military life, when the thoughts of that hatred, those threats, the wrath, those fake charges and the predetermined trials, which hurt not only the Government's case, but others too. The ugly leadership depresses me. What should I do?

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - I used a lot of Dylan lyrics as poetry in the high school class I taught, and some of the other teachers laughed at me for it. Then I went bonkers the day Dylan got a Nobel Literature Prize for his lyrics. I was yelling, "Told ya so!"

I have a dream - I have the firm belief I could make it work - I do NOT have the resources. Therefore...............

SP5 Jeannie Carle - One of my dreams was to build a radio or TV station, from scratch. I was laughed at, when I told my friends. Less than 48 hours later, I got a phone call, offering me the job to built a TV station. Be Blessed!
