Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. I will say this. The past four years have been full of interesting things and I suspect the next four will as well. I am curious to see what each new day brings.
It is curiosity that moves the engine of science creativity and invention forward. Hopefully tempered with wisdom and compassion, but that remains to be seen. I do find myself driven by this when I come across a topic that relates to the large number of areas I find of interest; I lose myself in exploring and learning all sorts of new information. What sparks your curiosity and drives you to learn?

Micah 6 8 Act Justly, Love Mercy, And Walk Humbly
He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of youbut to do justice, and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?M...
I expect you have an innate inquisitiveness that led you to explore and discover much on your own initiative as well as with the assistance and guidance of others. Hopefully you and I encourage inquisitiveness and do are best to help others find answers to their queries. I pray that we are each able to motivate those we have charge over for their good. ‘Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.” [Proverbs 4:5-6 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown
I pray for parents, guardians, grandparents and other involved in raising and training up children. I pray that we each are blessed with insight by YOU LORD to train up each child as YOU designed them to learn. Help us encourage the natural inquisitiveness of children and never to stifle their hopes and dreams. ‘At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.’ [Matthew 18:1-4 ESV]
I pray that we are each becoming more childlike and trustful to YOU LORD. Purge each us of selfishness, cruelty and deceptiveness in actions, words and thoughts. Deliver us from child abusers. ‘“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, 6but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.’ [Matthew 18:5-6]
I lift the leaders of government, legislators, and judges from local to national levels throughout the USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, France, India, Korea, China, Russia, Israel, Egypt, Japan, Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand to YOU LORD. You raise up and YOU bring down the seemingly-mighty for blessing or judgement on nations in YOUR perfect timing. I pray that YOU reward those who seek YOUR wisdom to lead with wisdom. ‘For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.’ [Psalm 75:6-7 ESV]
I pray that YOU motivate legislators, judges and leaders to focus on what is noble, right and true and enable them to work together across aisles with minimal posturing. 'For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. 'Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.' [2 Thessalonians 3:11-12 ESV]
I pray that YOU confound the plans and machinations of each leader, legislator, judge or staff member is are conspiring to do evil in lieu of performing their actual duties of office. ‘For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup with foaming wine, well mixed, and he pours out from it, and all the wicked of the earth shall drain it down to the dregs.’ Psalm 75:8 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Monday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Tuesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Curiosity did not kill that cat, it made him smarter, it made him a leader.
As I get older, I find my sense of curiosity becoming ever sharper as I now have the time and resources to really dig into some things I have wondered about for decades.
Cheers, RallyPoint! May your day be filled with the quest for answers.

1SG Steven Imerman - My 66 had the soft shell doors and the red striped Tiger Paw tires. I replaced the two speed transmission with the Turbohydro 400 that wasn't supposed to fit under that body. It touched the transmission tunnel, the fit was so tight. I preferred the '66 grill and tail lights. The '66 GTO outsold every other car made by Pontiac.

MSgt Robert "Rock" Aldi - I could lay in the trunk of that Catalina without touching anything but the floor. It was one of the years that large Pontiacs were called, 'Widetrack'
I was hit by a Rainbow Bread truck one morning. It knocked me two lanes to the left and into a curb. It killed the engine, because it had thee small two barrel. The paint job was only a couple weeks old, and I had to take my sister to school, before I left for work. Luckily for that truck driver, there wasn't a scratch or a dent in my car. I had a lug wrench in my hand, in case he wanted trouble.

I think we're all curious about the next four years and all I can say is God help us brother... Have a great day SCPO Morris Ramsey...
“Never stop asking the tough questions in life and in your everyday life. Be curious and look for the answers beyond the surface. Great decisions are made by those who went further with their curiosity to really understand the issues. ‘The future belongs to the curious. The ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke at it, question it and turn it inside out.’ May you always be curious and spark new ideas, create new dreams, and be filled with a passion to go beyond the surface for more definitive answers; may you always be positive in your curiosity; 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. Curiosity is powerful, so use it often.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
