"How long should you try? Until." — Jim Rohn I love this one. I have seen too many people say "Well, I tried". When in honesty they merely made an attempt. If you are going to try, DO IT! Good morning Rally Point!!!

Keep trying until you get the results you want. People don't understand how many hours Michael Jordan put in so he could make it look easy on the court.

LORD YOU know how much we can bear and how much YOU can accomplish through each of us. I pray for endurance with grace and compassion for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters. Enable each of us to persevere in demonstrating YOUR love for each person we interact with. Refill us Holy Spirit as we encourage those, we are responsible for by duty, passion or inclination.
I pray for each who is starting: a marriage, to raise a child, a new job, a new educational endeavor, retirement, and grieving the loss or illness/injury of someone they love. LORD, I pray YOU pour out an extra measure of grace and love on each and empower and guide YOUR adopted children to minister in deed primarily and words secondarily.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

I always wanted to play the guitar. I finally tried it after my 50th birthday. I'm not very good, but I still try to get better. Thanks Mikel for the great topic this morning!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs "Trying Day" Why? To stop trying is to surrender.
They say, "If you don't first succeed, try, try again" or "Don't Stop Trying, EVER"
Change your approach? Change your view (how you look at things)? Change your attitude? Change your advisors? But don't stop trying!
Don't get frustrated, don't get down, don't give up. Look up, look right look forward and follow. You've always got one more try in you, refresh, recharge, return and retry.
"Trying Day" NO SURRENDER.
