Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. I am looking forward to seeing the progress we are making on building our first wellness center.
We are all impatient it seems to move forward or move on...or whatever it is that we've deemed our mission. Not all progress is swift; remember even God took 6 days to create the world. If the Lord could build in stages how much more appropriate for all of us.
I find myself often counseling folks who are impatient for that progress (whether it is losing weight, improving relationships, changing habits) that they didn't get where they are overnight; so it won't change overnight. It takes time and effort to see progress on projects and changes.

I expect you have made significant progress in most if not all areas of your lifetime. No doubt you have learned a great deal from unforeseen circumstances, shortfalls in resources, and mistakes/accidents as well as operational plans that worked out well. I hope that you and I are sharing our experiences and learned lessons with others who could benefit from the knowledge. ‘Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure, you use it will be measured back to you.” [Luke 6:37-38 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I thank you for sanctifying the soul of each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters as YOU mature our soul in YOUR perfect timing. I pray for a sufficient increase of goodness, faithfulness, and self-control in each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who read or listen to this prayer. 'Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.’ [Philippians 4:8-9 ESV]
I lift the humble, trustworthy, honest, and selfless to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU bless each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are trustworthy, honest, and selfless by answering their earnest prayers with yes as often as YOU are willing – especially their prayers for wisdom, salvation for loved ones, their nation, and relief from nagging pains. 'So, if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. [Philippians 2:1-4 ESV]
I lift the prideful who are satisfied with themselves without humility; those who take ideas and inventions from others and declare it their own with vehemence; and each who takes advantage of trusting souls to YOU LORD. ‘To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.’ [Titus 1:15-16 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Sunday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Monday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Sunday!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from a blustery and rainy day here in the Greater Boston Area...
It is: “Progress Day!” Why Not?
My Personal Quote:
"Progress is our most important asset in growing a business or planting the seeds for the future." Kerry F. Harkins - April 25, 2021
“A little progress every day adds up to big results.” - Satya
“Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals.” - Jim Rohn
“Delay is the enemy of progress.” - Eliot Spitzer
“Progress is not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be.” - Khalil Gibran
"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” - George Bernard Shaw
“If you want to experience significant progress toward your goal, you need to be intentional about the work you’re doing every day.” - Anonymous
“Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.” Benjamin Franklin
And...
"If you’re not make progress, then what are you doing?" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
