Good morning Col Burroughs and happy hump day. The shop just picked up my vehicle for service so I am hoping to get it back early this afternoon.
We never know what we or anyone else is "made of" until we face adversity. It is the overcoming of it, the rising above or driving through that truly defines who we are and who we will be. Those who have all obstacles removed for them often collapse at the first sign of adversity and that is not who we are as veterans or as Americans.

I expect that you have endured much physical adversity in your lifetime and perhaps some verbal adversity as well. Those types of adversity help to develop character as our soul is refined in the fire. I hope you understand that our greatest enemy is not flesh and blood. Thankfully God fights on our behalf. ‘For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.’ [Ephesians 6:12 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
LORD I lift each adopted son and daughter of YOURS who is a parent, grandparent or teacher to YOU this advent season. I pray that YOU bless each one with peace and joy and genuine heartfelt love from their children, grandchildren and students. I pray for an increase of compassion, thanksgiving and good ness towards all this Christmas season.
I pray for safety, repentance, forgiveness and a resurgence of peace in homes where strife increases during the holidays. I pray that parents who abused children and children who abused parents genuinely confess and repent and seek forgiveness from those they abused.
I pray for an increase of law & order and peace in the streets of the USA, Canada, Mexico, UK, France, India, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Philippines and New Zealand. I pray for an increase of genuine justice in the courts.
Brothers and sisters-n-Christ no doubt you understand that adversity helps to form character. I pray that we each remember this when it comes to our children and grandchildren. God only has adopted sons and daughters and HE chastises each of according to HIS precepts, mercy and justice. LORD, enable us to be steadfast in love. ‘Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.’ [James 5:11 ESV]’
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
Great quote CSM Chuck Stafford...
"Character for leaders is born out of adversity — they will stand up and face it head on. They will build opportunities from adversity and grow in leadership... May you face adversity head on no matter what it is and keep you chin up at all times; may you have the right attitude everyday as adversity lurks around the corner, but you already for it and will not let the negative overtake the positive; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy during these uncertain times. Adversity is opportunity in Disguise." — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
