Good evening my friend and brother-in-Christ Maj Marty Hogan.
Heavenly Father, I pray that YOU open the eyes of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to TRUTH. Give each one ears to hear the TRUTH. Help us to stand firm on YOUR truth in grace. We need to be apologists for the Gospel. I pray that YOU give wisdom and discernment to YOUR people.
I pray that YOU bless us with humility and give us strength to apologize when we need to. If we have no excuse help us to be courageous to state that.
When our young children say they have no excuse for breaking or losing something or insulting somebody or lying, that does not impact our love for them. We reflect YOU and our imperfect love is as genuine as we can muster. More so YOU love each of us and desire unhindered fellowship with each of us. Help us to forgive and repent as quickly as we can to restore fellowship with those around us who we see and YOU whom we cannot see.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good Morning COL. I just finished commenting on all the folks that had something to say on your eagle thread last night...I need a nap!
"No Excuses" I'm good with that, I always have a reason not an excuse....Sometimes people like it and sometimes they don't...That's the way it is.
Don't like to make excuses nor lay blame so this one by my favorite General is right on:
"Do not make excuses, whether it's your fault or not." ― George Patton
And I certainly like yours today, because that's how I roll:
"Great Leaders never make excuses, they take ownership and responsibility for the tough decisions and their Actions." ― COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
I am glad you put this up early as I have to head out for a bit to mask off an outdrive for paint tomorrow, then get back here before the RAIN @ noon and cut up another tree....The throw a tarp over the rest til I can get to it.
Have an excellent Saturday COL Mikel J. Burroughs with a big hug for the Ladies...
