Good Monday morning Burroughs Posse Leader from the Sunny shores of the Greater Fort Myers area after a tumultuous series of tropical T-Storms last night! I slept in a bit, so will be back shortly to catch up... Have a great day, Mikel...
Today is: “Essential Day!” Why Not? MY PERSONAL QUOTE TODAY:
"What is essential today may not be essential tomorrow, so there must be a degree of flexibility built in to one's psyche to create the necessary changes in the path of life, which will always make the most important aspects of life essential." Kerry F. Harkins - July 26, 2021
The first essentials, of course, is to know what you want." - Robert Collier
"The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense." - Thomas A. Edison
"Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for." - Joseph Addison
"An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail." - Edwin Land
"Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage and true progress." - Nicholas Murray Butler
"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature." - John D. Rockefeller
"The essentials of leadership are all about the use of one's talent in the interests of society." - James Gobbo
Each of us may look at the essentials slightly different and that is okay, but remember that...
“What is essential for effective leadership in today’s environment? Innovation, vision, inner values, inspiration, and communication!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I expect you recognize that maintaining and improving relationship is essential for all human beings and fauna. God designed the soul of each of us in HIS image. God is by nature spirit and the soul is our essential nature. No doubt those who look to you for leadership, counsel and friendship appreciate your steadfast character, transparency, and ability to communicate I hope that you and those you love are enduring well in these challenging times. ‘Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. [3 John 1:2 ESV] my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
I pray dear LORD that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer or listens to it being read has our spiritual house in order and that we are not judgmental against our brothers and sister-in-Christ. I pray that we each submit our daily plans to YOU as well as longer-range plans. I pray for patient endurance for us as we wait upon YOUR answer. ‘Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.’ [Isaiah 40:30-31 ESV]
I pray that the United States Congress will negotiate in good faith. I pray for compromise on non-essential riders to Infrastructure legislation. Hopefully the riders will be stripped from the legislation as unnecessary pork. I pray that authorization for critical race theory will be considered pork. 'Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the LORD is.' [Ephesians 5:15-17 ESV]
I pray for wisdom for the Supreme Court chief justice and associate justices as they review cases and make judgements. 'Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.' [Isaiah 1:17 ESV]
I pray for sustaining hope for adopted son and daughter who reads this prayer. YOU are working all to good for the body of Christ corporately and each of us individually in YOUR perfect timing. Give each of us eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart sensitive to the Holy Spirit. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.' [Galatians 6:9 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Monday night and awoke refreshed and healthy on Tuesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

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 THEIR EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICENT on this day 26 July 2021 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of August. As you know I am in the hospital getting my heart squared-away as a HEART TRANSPLANT SURVIVOR.

Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. As usual when I looked at the calendar on Friday there wasn't much for this week but somehow already this morning, it is filling up quickly, LOL. At least I am rarely bored.
I like this quote from Winston Churchill. I do find that planning is essential; it always changes but it gives you a starting point. Without it, things are chaotic and the really important pieces get overlooked. For my deployments I have an "essential packing list" That doesn't mean I don't add (and occasionally subtract from it based on necessity and location but without it I am likely to forget my daily medication, glasses or some other needed items.
How do you make sure you take care of the essentials?
