Good RED Friday COL Mikel J. Burroughs I am planning to wear my red shirt to the gym.
Being a better person means evaluating and reevaluating what you are thinking and doing. Don't spend time wishing you were someone else. Spend time becoming a better "you" and let that be your gift to those around you. What are you willing to do to be a better "you"?

Have an inspiring and selfless night, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Heavenly Father, YOU are the epitome of selflessness even though YOU are master of all. I pray that YOU release YOUR Holy Spirit to transform the character of the people of this nation. Enable the members of YOUR body to be empowered to bring peace, reconciliation and compassion wherever we move. Help us to find common-cause and work together across the political and socioeconomic divides
LORD I pray that YOU increase healing in each adopted son and daughter who reads this prayer. Heal family rifts, business rifts, emotional, mental and physical afflictions to YOUR glory. Guide us to be helpful and to assist those who need help as the winter descends on this nation.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

I wouldn't want to go back to the old me, not for all the money in the world. However, I wouldn't change a thing if I could. All the mistakes, the misadventures, and the misfortunes tested and made me stronger. (They also helped me to better appreciate the good.) They made me the person I am and I'm happy with me and my life

Our Father in Heaven gave us flaws in mortality to overcome and by doing so, we gain worthy experience and improved wisdom (hopefully) to avoid future pitfalls. I think when we travel through the veil we will remember our attempts to improve beyond our fallibility and begin to take the road toward perfection--which won't happen overnight.
I have improved through the years from the poor decisions made, which I won't post on Facebook or anywhere else to glamorize my "tribulations." I am most thankful for a loving Father in Heaven with His Son to provide means to overcome the negative and flow with the positive.
All of you have become my mentors.
