The "Colonel's" Motivational/Inspirational Quotes and Message of the Day!

Lt Col Charlie Brown Excellent words of wisdom ma'am.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - It is so necessary to be able to say just say "NO" Charlie. Your Meme's are spot on and the quotes are perfect...

“Many people have a hard time saying ‘No!’ It’s imperative in leadership to be able and willing you step up to the plate and say ‘No’ when you know you’re right and something is wrong. It takes courage and character to say the word ‘No’ when the time and situation is appropriate. That leads me to this quote for many to think about and relinquish…

‘The Beauty of No!’ – Unknown Author

May you always have the courage and ability to say ‘No’ with the situation calls for it; 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

Just about used that one, then I scrolled down.

I hope your integrity is intact and I hope your transparency of character does you justice and is worthy of emulation. No doubt your humility is genuine and you do not put on airs in social interactions since you have self-confidence and have no need or desire to demean others. The LORD justified each of us who are HIS adopted sons and daughters at our salvation and cleanses us of all sin and defects. By HIS grace HE sees us as pure with impeccable character even while HE sanctifies our soul to perfectly reflect HIS image. I hope and pray that you and I have taken to heart the admonition of the LORD to confess our shortfalls and failures and ask the LORD to help us genuinely repent and when appropriate ask for forgiveness. Scripture reminds us ‘for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift,’ [Romans 3:23 ESV] and ‘if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.’ [1 John 1:8-9 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.

I pray for an increase of self-control, compassion and goodness for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads or hears this prayer LORD. I thank you for purifying our character through sanctification of the soul of each of us dear LORD. ‘For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [2 Peter 1:5-8 ESV]
I pray for a secure night for each deployed service member, police and agents on duty, emergency room personnel, fire and rescue and EMT. I pray that none will die without the eternal security of personal relationship with you. Bless their family members with a secure and peaceful sleep and ability to rest in the comfort that YOU are their shield and buckler. ‘How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.” The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice; together they sing for joy; [Isaiah 52:7-8a 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. ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. If you become wise, you will benefit. If you scorn wisdom, you will be the one to suffer [Proverbs 9:10-11 ESV]
'I pray for wisdom for the Supreme Court chief justice and associate justices as they review cases and make judgements. '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 Tuesday night and awoke refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - thank you my friend, how's everything going?

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - Going well, all moved into the apartment in the The Woodlands, Texas my friend... the new adventure begins...

Favors are an area where some individuals have a problem saying no and others have a problem saying yes. Either way, it's a problem.

Outside of favors (and sometimes even for favors) the military has a culture of always saying "yes" to anything from above (and usually saying "no" to anything from below.) Either way, it is often a problem.

I spent a few years as a Brigade Operations Sergeant. The Bde Cdr would send me to staff meetings were he expected our answer should probably be "no" because he knew that if he sent one of the staff officers they would almost always say "yes" -- a couple of other units started doing pretty much the same thing so it got to the point where if there was a senior NCO representing any unit at a post staff meeting everyone knew we were probably there to say "no."

I hope your integrity is intact and I hope your transparency of character does you justice and is worthy of emulation. No doubt your humility is genuine and you do not put on airs in social interactions since you have self-confidence and have no need or desire to demean others.
