Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Hope all is well in the Eagle's nest.
Walking a smooth, straight path is nice and easy but it doesn't build strength or character. And it is unrealistic as almost none of us have that choice anyway. So given that, what does your path look like? Mine is currently full of physical challenges and now I have been asked to step up in the Red Cross and take on some leadership roles as well. Working on overcoming challenges and hurdles is what keeps life interesting for me. What is your challenge and how do you plan to overcome it?

Lt Col Charlie Brown - You have a tough path now, but you'll overcome those physical challenges Charlie - that is great news even though it mean more work at the American Cross. Take on the Challenge - you have what it takes as a leader - I know it. You and Tom have a great Saturday Charlie!

Seek the LORD first in all things and HE will guide you over, through or around obstacles throughout your life, my friend and brother-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Heavenly Father, guide each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters tonight, tomorrow and throughout this month so that we each learn to fully trust YOU. Open doors which cannot be shut and close doors so that we can not go where YOU know e should not. Draw us into the Light of YOUR presence, love, compassion and jot. Demonstrate YOUR power for overcoming in our lives.
Some of us are in recovery from physical issues while others are struggling with emotional issues including grief which affects body, soul and spirit. I pray that YOU apply the balm of Gilead to each who desperately needs YOUR comfort, healing power and grace to endure.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good Morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs and RP Friends.
“One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.”- Maya Angelou

Good morning from Hartland COL Mikel J. Burroughs - Great way to start the day, thank you. Off to Ford Field soon for the MI High School Individual Championships. The kids that have made it this far have overcome so very very much. Have a great weekend and say hi to mom and Bella for me.
