Good evening my friend and brother-in-Christ SGT John " Mac " McConnell.
LORD YOU know when we should take initiative, when we should let others take initiative, and when we should wait. In the power and authority of YOUR Name, Jesus the Christ I pray that YOU bless each adopted son and daughter with wisdom, discernment and insight. Help us to know who and what to support, what to focus on, and how, when, and what to do. Help us to say no with firmness and grace when we need to.

Good Morning COL. Had to step away for a minute....I'm baaack!
"Initiative Day" I have been known to take the initiative a time or two
"There's nobody better to give you a boot in the arse than yourself"
Even though they are ALL good today this one by Walt Disney carries the Boot theme for me...!
