Day 9 of the "RIPRIDE4Vets 2021" – started with a great breakfast with LTC Stephen F. and his beautiful wife Maria at Joe’s Café in Sterling, VA - really having a great time meeting all the great influencers here on RallyPoint and great friends that I've made over the years... Amazing! And Stephen is really tall or I'm really short (lol)!

Thank you my friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs for posting the pictures. I enjoyed our brief time getting acquainted at Joe's Café, meeting you in person and introducing you to my darling wife. I had only three hours of sleep before we met which reduced my usually talkativeness :-)
I trust you arrived in Manhattan well before you had to and hope you avoided the rains we experienced in the afternoon here.
I am an inch shorter than I used to be - wonders of spine compression and aging :-)
My friend Lt Col Charlie Brown I do hope we can get together for coffee one day. I tend to be late afternoon to evening person and I expect you are a morning person.
Joe's Café [off Route 28 - north of Washington Dulles Airport] serves reasonably good coffee and they are open until 2 PM each day. Perhaps we could meet there.
The best coffee is at Black Dog coffee in Shenandoah Junction, WV. That is a lengthy trip that I make at least once a month to purchase coffee to grind.

Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. It's another RED Friday and may all who are deployed return home safely.
Standing firm. We have to battle to stay with it sometimes. We are stronger for having to fight the wind to stay upright and where we belong. Those who do not resist or who are never called upon to do so, will never learn what strength they have within them. Every storm teaches us a lesson and when there are none, we grow complacent or we tilt at shadows. Perhaps this is why each generation must find its way and its causes.
Those of us who have been in the trenches in one way or another know that calm never lasts and that we must always be prepared for the next storm.

I expect that you consistently stand firm on bedrock principles which at times are tested by direct challenges; you have stood up at times for family members and friends; and those who rely on you for leadership are inspired by your stands. I hope your firm foundation in character and your courage of convictions has increased along with the respect of others. I hope that our personal integrity is impeccable and that we demonstrate love with grace as we stand firmly. I pray that you and I stand firm on rock-solid principles rooted in the Word of God all the rest of our days. ‘Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. [Ephesians 4:15-16 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown
I pray for discernment, alertness, and communication capability for each deployed service member, and on duty police force members and federal and state agents. I pray that the deployed service members and deployed federal and state police force members communicate with their spouses and especially children as safely as they can without compromising anything. 'He will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers.' [Malachi 4:6 ESV]
I lift each deployed service member missing in action and their family members to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU bless the family members of MIA with a large measure of peace and joy as they wait for news about their MIA loved one and closure. Enable them to lean on YOU as they grieve while waiting for a knock on the door. I pray that YOU guide those searching for remains to remains of MIA to find, identify and recover the remains and effects in YOUR perfect timing. ‘Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.’ [Romans 12:15-16 ESV]
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 faithfulness, gentleness and self-control to stand up firmly for those unable to stand for themselves. Guide us to pray for and aid as best we can the preborn children, the widows, widowers, prisoners, and those on sick beds and in hospice. 'If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is to visit widows and orphans.’ [James 1:26-27 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Friday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
