Good morning Mikel and my friends on RallyPoint! Socrates said, "Wonder is the beginning of wisdom." I am truly amazed at those who have lost their sense of amazement.

May you never lose your sense of amazement SGT (Join to see) - I'm holding on to mine until they fold my flag brother...

“We have some very amazing people right here on RallyPoint that have done some amazing things in their lives and will do amazing things in the future. That leads me to this quote…

‘You are amazing, and you shouldn’t let anyone tell you otherwise. No matter what.’ — Bryan Collins

May you keep on doing amazing things; 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 well-equipped with vision, humility, courage of your convictions, and a resolute sense of purpose. No doubt you are an inspiration to those who depend upon you and that you are leading them to achieve their goals. I expect you clearly state goals for those who look to you for leadership, advice, and comfort is noble and worthy of emulation. I pray that the LORD blesses each of us with discernment to assess our own capabilities and limitations as leaders and as servers/subordinates including family relationships. No doubt you approach life, business relationships, family activities with eyes wide open and are not easily fooled or taken advantage of. 'Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.' [Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV] my brother-in Christ SGT (Join to see).

I pray that YOU bless each adopted son and daughter of God who reads or listens to this prayer with sufficient fruit of the Spirit: goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and grace. I hope you and I regularly submit our plans to the LORD and do not resist any changes HE makes to our plans, goals and agenda. YOU guide us step by step throughout our life on this earth. You prepare us through challenges and trials as YOU mature us in YOUR perfect timing. ‘Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.’ [James 1:12 ESV]
LORD thank YOU for guiding and protecting us as necessary from the wiles of the enemy as YOU lead us along the narrow path that leads to eternal life. YOU are the strong man Who dwells with our soul and YOU protect us. I am grateful and amazed that YOU permit us to explore and learn. Too many go with the flow of the worldly systems. I pray for eyes to see and ears to hear for each of us. Deliver each of us from following false and deceptive dreams and visions of corrupt and foolish pied pipers. 'Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.' [Ephesians 5:15-17 ESV]
I thank YOU for sanctifying the soul of each of YOUR own individually and corporately. YOU prune our desires, goals, and even traditions which are distractions or worse for us and those we love. YOU give us hope and YOU bless each of us with new desires. I thank YOU for renewing the mind of each of throughout our life of faith in YOU. YOU fulfill YOUR promises to each generation in YOUR perfect timing. ‘Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.’ [1 Peter 1:13-19 ESV]
I pray that you and I heed the admonition of the LORD
a. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 ESV ‘First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.’
b. 1 Corinthians 2: 6-10 ESV 'Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him” these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God."
I pray that YOU do what it takes to change the heart/soul of POTUS Biden and his wife Jill from pro-induced abortion to recognize that the creation of human life is amazing and God-designed. I pray that they each will be adopt a pro-life perspective and be consistent in the application from bully pulpit, through policy and funding priorities. 'I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curse. Therefore, choose life, that you and your offspring may live' [Deuteronomy 30:19 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Sunday night and will awake healthy on Monday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

If you're down, hang in there, baby. As Mom always said, "This, too, shall pass."
Then be ready to love the good times as they come.

Have a great Sunday, RallyPoint.

1SG Steven Imerman - we are in Vegs this week. I took my grandson the night before we left- heavy weed coverage, but the weather is all over and the water temps move with it. Swear two of the bass I caught last week looked like they had just spawned and hit the lure the same.

Good Sunday morning, Burroughs Posse Leader from the clearing skies of the greater Fort Myers area... I just finished breakfast so will be back shortly to finish up... and I am back...

Today is "Amazing Day" - Why Not! Here is "My Personal Quote":

"When one stands on a beautiful sandy shore and looks out over the water...what an amazing perspective of our earthly home one receives, yet it is this amazement, that we take for granted and don't use it as the foundation from which to build one's life anew." - Kerry F. Harkins - July 25, 2021

"It's amazing what ordinary people can do if they set out without preconceived notions." - Ben Stein

"Maybe the truth was, it shouldn't be so easy to be amazing. Then everything would be. It's the things you fight for and struggle with before earning that have the greatest worth. When something's difficult to come by, you'll do that much more to make sure it's even harder--if not impossible--to lose.” ― Sarah Dessen, Along for the Ride

"Sometimes I get so caught up in my own problems that I forget how amazing the world is.” ― Wendelin Van Draanen, Runaway

“It's amazing what you can see when you just sit quietly and look.” ― Jacqueline Kelly, The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." - Anna Quindlen

"If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you." - Les Brown

"If there was an observer on Mars, they would probably be amazed that we have survived this long." - Noam Chomsky

and what about our leaders? Read on...

“An amazing leader possesses a clear vision; they help people and organizations reach their goals. They have courage, integrity, honesty humility, and a clear focus and they develop future leaders that will be better them!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
