Excellent quotes this morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs and a great follow on to yesterday. People can claim to be one thing but you can tell the truth of their character by what they choose to do. Intentions are nice but actions are what counts. Is your view of who you are consistent with who you want to be? What is it that your actions say about your character? Is that how you want people to see you and if not, what will you do about it?

Lt Col Charlie Brown - You thoughts are right in line with the message as always today Charlie! Actions speak louder than words. You can say you hav Character, but in the end, it's your actions and what people seeing you do and the things you do behind close doors when no one's looking that really speak to your character. It's what defines us as leaders in the end! What will you legacy be when it comes to your character? You and Tiom have a great Tuesday afternoon Charlie!

Have a thoughtful and reflective night and sleep peacefully in your night’s rest, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Heavenly Father, YOU made perfect plans for each and every human being before time was created by YOU. YOU have complete authority and in fact control of what we would label the complexities of time, space, creation and human interaction.
LORD, YOU complete and perfect our character through sanctification. Enable us to endure and thrive in sanctification and to encourage one another as we grow in the admonition of YOU LORD.
Open our eyes to see, ears to hear YOU and a heart sensitive to YOU. Enable each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to improve relationships and unclog the lack of interaction among friends and family. Let YOUR light and love emanate to and through us to those hurting around us. Bind up the emotional wounds and apply the balm of Gilead to each of the hurting to heal and rest peacefully.
Help us who are parents to hold back as YOU guide us to allow our children to grow as YOU bent them. Help each of us to learn from our mistakes and successes as well as vicariously learn from others. Empower us LORD to teach our children – physical and spiritual to learn vicariously from YOUR WORD and those around them.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning Mikel and all of RallyPoint! I enjoyed the quotes today, in particular the one by Billy Graham. I have a favorite one from my German studies
“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I think the best characters are those who try to improve the lives of others. Have a great day all!
