Good morning Col Burroughs, Bella and Posse. Glad you are back home safely. Happy Hump day to all.
"Do your best" is what I always told my children. That way you have nothing to be ashamed of in the outcome. Trying your hardest and giving something your best effort is all that should be asked or expected. Outcomes are never guaranteed and all contingencies cannot be planned for. If you have honestly given something your best effort, you should be proud of what you did, regardless of the final outcome. Too many people who either see something less than a perfect solution, quit before they finish; that's sometimes even worse than never starting at all. Don't allow yourself to be derailed by "what ifs" Do your best and stand by it.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Great quotes Charlie - thanks, sorry for being so late - trying to catch up from the 5 days in California and Tucson...
“Well, it’s good to be back in the ‘Eagle’s Net’ today here in Castle Rock, CO and will try to respond to this morning’s message for the day on doing your best. Why not do your best? You have everything to gain and nothing to lose with that attitude. It’s not trying to be better than anyone, it’s just giving your all to do the best things you can do for you, your family, friends, and those you lead. May you ‘Be bold, be courageous, be your best!’ — Unknown Author. 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. Be your own best friend today as well.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Rebecca St. James - Battle Is the Lord's (feat. Brandon Lake) [Acoustic]
I was blessed to be able to sing this song recently with my friend Brandon Lake! It’s a powerful reminder to me to give my battles to the Lord...and to leave...
I hope you demonstrate courage of conviction when confronted by individuals who question your principles and faith. I expect the foundation of your principles is based on your integrity. Hopefully that foundation is rooted in your personal faith and trust in the LORD. I hope and pray that you and I ‘honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame." [1 Peter 3:15b-16 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown..
I lift the Department of Veterans Affairs health system, the Military health system, TRICARE and the Indian Affairs health care systems to YOU LORD. Most of the medical staff members are no doubt doing their utmost to evaluate, treat, care for, operate on, assist in recovery, and protect from infection for the patients in their respective systems. I pray for great health for the medical staff personnel, and great care for the patients and outpatients including our friend SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. I pray that YOU guide the mind and hands of each medical staff member who is evaluating and treating patients. LORD I pray for the disabled veterans who are waiting for care. I pray that YOU motivate intercessors to pray for each and good Samaritans to assist these veterans materially. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ Luke 10:33-35 ESV]
I pray that each of your adopted sons and daughters who reads this prayer is both content in our situation and striving to do better. I pray that we each demonstrate love to our neighbors, friends, coworkers and family members. ‘Godliness with contentment is great gain,’ [1 Timothy 6:6a ESV] Let us strive to do better in whatever the Holy Spirit prompts us to do. 'If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself,' you are doing well.' [James 2:8 ESV]
I pray for the schoolchildren who are not allowed to return to school and their parents and guardians. LORD do what is necessary to shake up administration officials and union leaders rooted fear siding with unions at the expense of children and their parents. Open their eyes LORD to YOUR judgement. Let love triumph. Perfect love casts out fear. 'There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.’ [1 John 4:18-19 ESV]
I lift the governmental leaders and judges in the USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, Ireland, Poland, Germany, France, India, Japan, Philippines, and Australia to YOU, dear LORD. I pray for the honest and trustworthy leaders and judges who have integrity. LORD I pray that YOU bless each with wisdom, compassion and love for the people. Prompt them to treat each of their constituents fairly including widows, widowers, orphans, military veterans. police veterans, and prisoners – especially the unjustly accused. 'Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.' [Proverbs 31:8-9 ESV]
As far as governmental leaders and judges who are biased against the poor, the faithful, those with opposing viewpoints, and those who don’t offer bribes, ‘I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you, when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. [Proverbs 1:26-27 ESV]
LORD I pray that for the honest outcasts of society and the poorest of the poor with integrity, in material terms. 'Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.' [Proverbs 28:6 (ESV)
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thursday morning.
