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 MAGNIFICENT on this day July 14, 2021 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of August. 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 some time on the work morning before I start my running around to respond my friend.

Today's message is ideal day.
I quote, Mark Twain
The picture depicts my inner thought.

It is great to see you posting once again my brother-in-Christ Joe.
I expect you have many great ideas and some noble ones as well. No doubt you have encouraged many to share their ideas and you offered to help them come to fruition, when appropriate. I pray that you and I have eyes to see and ears to hear and our vision is aligned with God’s plan for our life and the lives of those we are responsible for. ‘But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.’ [1 Thessalonians 5:8-11 ESV] my brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.

I pray for discernment and sound judgement for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads of listens to this prayer, dear LORD. By YOUR grace, YOU write the law into the heart/soul of each of YOUR own. YOU alone bless us with wisdom, vision and YOU fulfill the desires of our heart in YOUR perfect timing. ‘Where there is no prophetic vision, the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law’ [Proverbs 29:18 ESV]
Too many encourage others to think outside-the-box as though in itself that is a noble and worthwhile activity.
a. Thinking outside the box within the physical sciences has indeed resulted in wonderful ideas from harnessing energy in electricity and nuclear plants, employing bio-chemistry to develop vaccines beginning with smallpox and expanding, radical improvements in surgery and recovery of patients, etc.
b. The insane think outside-the-box of reality much of the time.
c. Thinking outside the box in social sciences has led to some great ideas that line up with the bible including justice for all, freedom of speech, assembly, and the press.
d. Sadly, some outside the box approaches have led to dangerous results embraced by those who believe race determines intelligence, etc. Margaret Sanger in this nation and the Nazi’s in Germany went down the horrid path of exterminating on the basis of race and purported contribution to society.
It is wise to seek wisdom from the LORD. HE bounds our walk-through in life and HE blesses us with ideas to bring positive change for many. 'And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.' Romans 12:2-3 ESV
I lift widows, widowers, those afflicted with PTSD and seemingly incurable diseases as well as those who love and care for them to YOU. YOU are the healer. YOU healed each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters from judgement for sin as our salvation. YOU heal many through are own immune systems, many others through medical processes and procedures, and YOU sovereignly heal some for YOUR purposes. Glory to God in the highest. 'Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause' [Isaiah 1:16-17 ESV]
I pray that you and I heed the admonishment of the LORD;
a. Isaiah 1:18-19 ESV 'Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord, though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.
b. 1 Timothy 6:20-21 ESV 'O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Great quote and I'm sorry I missed your yesterday SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL We were busy packing for a move to Texas my friend...

“Have an idea today, tomorrow, or in the past? Start working it, otherwise it will just be an idea and you’ll never see it come to fruition. Stretch yourself and start working those ideas and that reminds me of this quote…

‘Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.’ — Oliver Wendel Holmes

May you let out all those great ideas; 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

Good “Wednesday & Hump Day!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse from another overcast day here in the greater Boston Area with some hope that we may see a few rays of a golden sun! LOL!
Today is: “Idea Day!” Why Not?

"New ideas pass through three periods: 1) It can’t be done. 2) It probably can be done, but it’s not worth doing. 3) I knew it was a good idea all along!" – Arthur C. Clarke

"Good ideas are common – what’s uncommon are people who’ll work hard enough to bring them about." – Ashleigh Brilliant

"Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats." – Howard Aiken

"Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one’s ideas, to take a calculated risk – and to act." -– Andre Malraux

"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death." – John F. Kennedy

"A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one." – Mary Kay Ash

And how do all these ideas and thoughts affect how leaders react? Read on, my Brothers and Sisters...

“Leaders without vision and ideas will create an organizational culture that doesn’t encourage ideas from others. Be the voice of a crazy ideas coming from all levels of your organization. Think outside the box!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
