Good "Sunday" Morning Everyone from the "Eagle's Nest" here in Castle Rock, CO — 23 June 2019!

"Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction." — John F. Kennedy

Good morning Rally Point and COL Mikel J. Burroughs I hope your weather is as nice as ours is.
Direction is something that we choose. "It is better to walk alone than walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction" ~Diane Grant
If what you find is that the direction you've chosen isn't right or that your life has changed and your direction needs to change that's okay. We should all periodically check our personal compass and see if we are headed in a direction that works for us. If we are, stay the course. If not, have courage, and adjust your sails.

I pray that you and I clearly recognize directions and guidance from the LORD and that we are gracious when the guidance involves others, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
LORD YOU speak to each of YOUR adopted children through YOUR Word, through preaching, through individuals YOU prompt to speak in our hearing, and directly from YOU in a gentle and still voice.
YOUR Word teaches that YOUR sheep know YOUR voice. I pray that each and every adopted child of YOURS has wisdom and discernment and recognizes YOUR voice distinctly from our own thoughts and the enemy.
Give each of us grace to receive directions in the spirit they are intended and to learn much from others. Help us to teach those we love to be sturdy in faith and convictions and yet gracious and merciful in our interactions with other people.
Do I a mighty work tonight oh LORD. I pray that YOU move as many of those who about to die as possible to turn to YOU in faith before they die.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs good morning good read/share: for the Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day. Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THIER EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICIENT on this Sunday morning June 23, 2019 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains, even in June heading into July.
Today's theme "Direction Day!" Roger that, I realized with prayer and my survial skills I needed a new direction in my post military life. Working hard/smarter was the choice. I elected to go smarter in a direction of something I like and make decent money my friend doing Contracts.
The picture depicts my inner thought:

Maj Marty Hogan
COL Mikel J. Burroughs - the Healing Ride is coming up but think I am headed back over the pond at the same time. I will be in and out again through next June almost once a month or more. Today was the Blessing Ride and I am missing for work on a 4th celebration for the Legion and the Park we are building. Never slows down and I am ok with that.
