Carole King, You've got a friend

Good Wednesday morning Col Burroughs and Posse. Happy Hump day to the working crew.
We in the military community truly understand what it means to lean on each other, hence "battle buddies" "got your six" etc. We know we cannot do it alone. Even those who are awarded the MOH always say for those I was with...
Just be careful of who you lean on; make sure their foundations are good. It doesn't help if you pick someone who is not strong enough to provide support when you need it. And then you should also provide it in return; that's how we all make it. And God's arms are always there for us as well; his strength never fails.

The lean forward mode is how a good leader preps for any impending operation. I remember how hilarious my principal found that concept, back when I was teaching, as in, "We are in the 'lean forward mode' towards the parking lot as it approaches 3:30."
Lean into it today, RallyPoint!

Great message and I always liked the one "Leaning forward in the Foxhole!" as well 1SG Steven Imerman - you have a great day brother...
“Leaning on someone’s shoulder is a necessary thing sometimes and we all need someone to lean on as presented in the song below for today’s message by the late Bill Withers. ‘I’ll lean on you and you lean on me and we’ll be okay.” — Dave Matthews. May you always have Warriors for Life (WFL) Online Peer Group Support to lean on when times are tough or you’re feeling alone. We’ll be here for you. 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. Please feel free to join SSgt Alia Schenk TONIGHT for ‘Learning to Lean on Others When Life Changes.’ You may have the shoulder that someone needs to lean on — be there for them.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Rememberin' Hossana! Music.. and honoring the wonderful person Direk who is truly a "direk" in many ways.... Ate Jackie.
I expect that you have the trust and respect of many. Hopefully you and I will never betray trust even accidentally. No doubt having a foundational faith in the LORD is a boon to us and those who rely on us. ‘The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.’ [Psalm 18:2 ESV] my brother-in-Christ 1SG Steven Imerman.
LORD I lift the leaders of the nations to YOU. I pray that YOU bless each who trusts implicitly and explicitly in YOU with wisdom to lead. I pray that YOU thwart the plans of each whose footing is on the shifting sands of opinion poll results and self-centered philosophies. “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” [Matthew 7:24-27 ESV]
I pray for individuals and families who are enduring day by day with hope in YOU in these challenging times. I pray for safe and secure places to stay for the homeless; wholesome food for the hungry; compassion for the outcasts; solace for the grieving; and peace for the distraught. 'Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.’ [Proverbs 3:5-8 ESV]
Thank you, LORD for building character in each of us. I pray for an increase of selflessness and decrease of selfishness. I lift the widows, widowers, and orphans to YOU and am grateful that YOU are their champion. ‘ Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.’ [James 1:27 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Wednesday & Hump Day” Morning “Burroughs’ PosseLeader from a gradually warming up day in Fort Myers with a current temp of 50° but heading up to 65° this afternoon... The storm that passed through the Midwest through to the Northeast, had northerly winds that came deep into South Florida...yesterday and last night... My wife reported there was 12" of snow in our area in MA...
“Leaning Day!” Why Not?
1) "Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall." - Stephen Covey
2) "There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you." - Winston Churchill
3) " Friends are the pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes they lean on you, and sometimes it's just enough to know that they are standing by." - Unknown
It may be a friend, maybe not, but when it comes to leadership,...
