Good morning Col Burroughs and Happy Halloween to you and all the Posse!
What a perfect topic for Halloween. Fear can be a driving emotion. What's important is what you choose to do with that energy. Will you use it to move forward in your life or will you use it to make your hiding place more secure? Fear can help us clarify our choices.

I expect that you demonstrate courage of conviction when challenged or called upon. No doubt your convictions have been tested periodically and your convictions have been refined by the LORD, my sister in Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray that you and I demonstrate faith in the LORD by standing in faith on the Word of God in this SARS-Cov-2 risk period. ‘Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. [Psalm 23:4 ESV]
No doubt you are aware that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.' [Proverbs 9:10-11 ESV]
In this Federal, State and local election season I pray that we demonstrate courage of conviction to vote for whom the LORD prompts us to vote for. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. [Psalm 23:5 ESV]
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

I'm scared about this coming Tuesday -- Election Day. But I am ready for the Trick-or-Treaters with 220 full size candy bars. The little monsters better show up or I'm gaining a ton.

SGT Robert Pryor - There are no trick-or-treaters coming into the 55+ community where I live. I send $$ to my offspring so that they can provide treats for the "mini-monsters" in their neighborhoods. BTW, I am also scared about Tuesday. Will I have joyful birthday or a sad one? PS: I hope that I don't have to send you my address so that I can join you in gaining more weight. LOL

Happy Halloween Day Burroughs' Posse Leader from a cold 22° morning here in the Greater Boston Area... Slept in this morning, but will be back shortly to complete my comments. ...and I am back!
Today is: “Scared Day!” (Happy Halloween to all!)
MY QUOTE:
There is a difference between being fearful and being scared. It all depends on the deepest part of the human psyche. Some will cower in fear and shutdown. Others will carefully evaluate, create a plan, and execute it...Those people are are scared, but know that they must take charge or suffer the consequences for all." - Kerry F. Harkins October 31, 2020
QUOTES FOR CONSIDERATION:
1)"Courage is doing what you are afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you are scared." - Eddie Rickenbacker (Edward Vernon Rickenbacker was an American Fighter Ace in WWI and a Medal of Honor recipient.)
2) "When you're scared, when you're hanging on, when life is hurting you, then you're going to see what you're really made of." - Sylvester Stallone
3) "Terrorists are always a threat to someone. If we'll be scared of them, it means they have won." - Vladimir Putin
4) "Being scared isn't the problem. It's not running away that's the hard part." - John Connolly
5) "You can only be brave by being afraid. Embrace what you are scared of and shift its energy to destroy your fears." - Joel Brown
Are you fearful or are you scared and what do leaders do?
“Sometimes the view from out front can be very scary for leaders because you’re the one out there looking at and building the future for your team – it’s okay to have that scary feeling, but you can’t remain scared – you still have to lead!”— COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
