Awesome share and photo for today 1SG Steven Imerman...

“There is a saying out there, that a dog is a man or women’s best friend! They definitely hit the nail right on the head. There are so many service dogs out there helping our veterans today. Dogs have changes so many lives for the better that leads me to this quote…

‘Dogs are not our whole, but they make our lives whole.’ — Rodger A. Caras

May the four-legged friends and companions in your life make a change in your world; 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 you are worthy of being followed as a leader. I hope you are loyal to those you lead and who rely on you for leadership and advice. No doubt your character is rooted in faith to the LORD. I hope and pray that you and I treat well each person we interact with. 'The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.' [Titus 3:8-9 ESV] my brother-in-Christ 1SG Steven Imerman

I lift those who train animals to aid the disabled and those who train animals to sooth the tormented including horse trainers to YOU LORD. YOU used a donkey to alert Balaam and YOU enable trained animals to help the blind at intersections. I pray that YOU protect these animals from being abused by thugs. 'With the merciful you show yourself merciful; with the blameless man you show yourself blameless; with the purified you show yourself pure; and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous. For you save a humble people, but the haughty eyes you bring down.' [ Psalm 18:25-27 ESV]
I pray for compassion, kindness and endurance for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer or hears it dear LORD. As Memorial Day is next Monday and many of us have memories of friends and fellow service members who have been killed in the line of duty.
I pray that YOU guide each of us to assist widows, widowers of service members, veterans and police, deputies and federal and state agents who have been killed in the line of duty. I pray that YOU guide each prayer warrior to intercede for the grieving and for peace this Memorial Day. 'Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.' [Proverbs 3:5-6 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.

Good “Thursday!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the beautiful skies of the Greater Boston Area!

Today is: “Dog Day!” Why Not?

“Dogs’ lives are too short. Their only fault, really.” – Agnes Sligh Turnbull (author, The Wedding Bargain)

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.”– Josh Billings (humourist)

“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day.” – John Grogan (Author, Marley & Me)

“You can usually tell that a man is good if he has a dog who loves him.” – W. Bruce Cameron (author, A Dog’s Journey)

“If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.” – Mark Twain (Author, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer)

“All his life he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed. For after all, he was only human. He wasn’t a dog.” – Charles M Schulz (cartoonist, “Peanuts”)

And even in a dog world...

“Guess what, leadership over a dog is important. You don’t have to be loud or sound angry. A calm, confident tone of voice is most effective way to tell your dog no or wrong. They also need to be told ‘yes’ or ‘good!’" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Col Burroghs and Posse. I love the topic today.
Dogs are so much a part of who we are as humans. New research shows that they impacted human development as much as we did theirs. They help us in so many ways from leading us when we are unable to see, finding our lost ones, loving us when it seems no one else does, helping guard our property and doing rescue duty. But even if they did not of these service actions, their patience, loyalty and love would make them irreplaceable in our lives.
