Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. I was so impressed by last night's VFV board meeting and all the new ideas that are being generated. Great out of the box thinking to help those impacted by TBI and/or PTSD. I really think we can make a difference.
One of the ways to innovate is to look beyond your own company or industry. The military does this, not always quickly enough but we do eventually get there. I remember how long it took us to put bar codes on our supplies so they could be tracked all the way from vendor to reciept at base supply and then out to our customers. What a huge difference it made and now we can't imagine doing it any other way. And now we are looking to expand what we are doing with drones based on new technology and the ideas of both our troops and the research teams. Innovation is the only way we can stay competitive especially with China and Russia as rival powers.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Thanks and too bad I couldn't get the darn video conference to work on time Charlie... Thanks for the great thoughts today on innovation and the quotes you shared... Have a great day - see you in June...

“Innovation or being innovative is so important in today’s fast paced world. Leaders have to be thinking far ahead to keep pace with all the changes that coming or yet to come. Everyone needs to find better ways of accomplishing their goals and objectives. That reminds me of this quote…

‘There’s a way to do it better — find it.’ — Thomas A. Edison

May you always be on the cutting edge of new discoveries, trying new ways of doing things, and using innovation as way to change things for the better; 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.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I expect your intuitive creativity and innovative approaches to solving issues inspires those you lead and those who rely on your judgement and advice. No doubt you have learned much from your own experience. I hope you share what you have learned including what you learned vicariously. I pray that YOU pay attention to the admonition of the LORD as the Holy Spirit prompts you. ‘All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. [2 Timothy 3:16-17] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.

I pray for sufficient humility and sufficient fruit of the Spirit kindness, faithfulness, and self-control for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who read this prayer. YOU have blessed each of us with talents and YOU work through our weaknesses as well to bless others through us. By YOUR grace, YOU replenish the fruit within our soul as it is used by YOU for YOUR purpose and glory. I pray that each of us lean on YOU for wisdom and support as we trust YOUR guidance in our daily walk of faith. YOU are our ever-present help Holy Spirit as YOU dwell with the soul of each adopted child of God. ‘Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.’ [Romans 8:26-27 ESV]
I lift entrepreneurs, manufacturers, inventors, authors, artists and parents to YOU LORD. I am grateful that YOU inspire individuals to manufacture, build, write, invent and parents to train up their children in the admonition of the LORD. I pray that YOU bless each with sufficient knowledge, skill, innovation, and a measure of humility as they work to bless others through their works. 'For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.' [Ephesians 2:10 ESV]
Thank YOU, LORD for creating the soul of each of us in YOUR perfect image. Since the fall of man & woman in the garden, the soul of mankind has been marred with sin. By YOUR grace YOU elected each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters before time began. In the fullness of time, YOU sovereignly regenerate the soul of each elect and our soul is reborn. By YOUR grace YOU lead us through our reborn life and motivate us to work on behalf of others. 'For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.’ Ephesians 2:10 ESV].
Thank YOU, LORD for justifying each of YOUR adopted children at our salvation. YOU cleansing us from sin and the judgement for sin fulfills the WORD YOU gave to the prophet Isaiah ‘Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.’ [Isaiah 53:10-11 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Tuesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from a lightly cloudy day here in the Greater Boston Area where our temperature is a very nice 63° headed up to about 81° this afternoon... Love it!!!

Today is: “Innovative Day!” MY message/quote choices for this word are broad and varied, but have a common thread...and I believe all will understand after reading the quotes below!

"A pile of rocks ceases to be a rock pile when somebody contemplates it with the idea of a cathedral in mind.” —Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

“Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.” —Theodore Levitt

“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” —Albert Einstein

“I am looking for a lot of people who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done.” —Henry Ford

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct arising from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the object it loves.” —Carl Jung

“Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation, in its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.” —J. K. Rowling

“Innovation—any new idea—by definition will not be accepted at first. It takes repeated attempts, endless demonstrations, monotonous rehearsals before innovation can be accepted and internalized by an organization. This requires courageous patience.” —Warren Bennis

And so it goes in the history of mankind...

"Innovation leadership is the ability to inspire new ideas, increased productivity among the team, and the creation of new and unique processes!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I've admired Walt Disney ever since I worked at Disneyworld in Florida. He shared his "Fun" with the world (in my opinion).
