Not complaining, SP5 Mark Kuzinski, not complaining at all! No one expected us to get to the CWS and no one expected Auburn to reach the Final Four of the NCAA basketball tournament.
I'll take it any day!

LORD YOU designed each human being before time began. The plans YOU made for YOUR own adopted children are for good and not for evil. By YOUR common grace YOU bless all people and fauna with instincts, abilities, talents and potential for good.

Good Wednesday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from the Greater Boston Area with an overcast dull sky, no breeze and it looks like it is going to rain at any moment... The weather in June has been horrible here, save for a few days here and there!
"Ability"! This is an outstanding choice for today's quotes! I was prepared to research quotes, but then I decided to take a slightly different tack...
"Ability" is a noun, which is the possession of the means or skill to do something. Synonyms include: capacity, capability, potential, potentiality, power, faculty, aptness, facility, propensity, wherewithal, means, preparedness
...and it also means a talent, skill, or proficiency in a particular area. i.e., "a man of exceptional ability"
Synonyms: talent, skill, expertise, expertness, adeptness, aptitude, skillfulness, prowess, mastery, artistry, caliber, accomplishment; competence, competency, proficiency; dexterity, adroitness, deftness, cleverness, smartness, flair, finesse, gift, knack, brilliance, genius; qualification, resources; savoir faire; informal know-how...
All one needs to do is examine and digest each of these powerful synonyms and one can readily understand how they fit into the scheme of our thinking when something needs to be done... and with this understanding, your quote is spot on Colonel!!!
"Who of us there doesn't have the ability to make something change in their life or reach a goal? I say you all have the ability, now exercise it!" ― COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
I hope that you all have a powerfully awesome Wednesday of positive accomplishments!
Peace my Brothers and Sisters
