Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. I hope all are well.
Subjective versus objective. Facts versus opinion. It used to be easier to tell one from another in my view but now it seems that not only are people unwilling to try to sort one from another but they are often trying to force others to see their own views as "truth" That won't work. We all have our views; they are unique to us. It is important when trying to make decisions for more than oneself that you stop and get down to the real objective truth and facts on which you can all agree. Don't let emotions play here; they color objectivity and turn it into something else. It can be tempting to believe you "know better" and can make a decision based on your views but making them based on facts works a lot better.

I expect that you are generally objective in thought and deed. Hopefully you gather facts and take them into consideration before making a major decision. I hope you seek the LORD’s guidance in making your plans and especially your decisions, ‘Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.’ [Colossians 2-7 ESV], my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray that each adopted son and daughter of YOURS takes to heart what the atonement of Jesus the Christ demonstrates the love of God ‘'By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." [John 3:16-18 ESV]
I pray that parents of young children through teenagers who are YOUR adopted children are demonstrating wisdom and doing their best to raise children in the admonishment of the LORD ‘Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.’ [Proverbs 22-6 ESV]
I pray that husbands and wives who are YOUR adopted sons and daughters demonstrate honor to our own parents [living or dead] at all times including in the presence of their children. ‘Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.’ [Ephesians 6:1-4 ESV]
I lift US Congress representatives and senators and their staff members to YOU as they are legislating towards a COVID stimulus package. I pray they will objectively focus on the needs of U.S. citizens and this nation primarily. ‘But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him?’ [1 John 3:17 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Sunday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Monday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Sunday” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the deep blue winter sky of the Greater Boston area where it is 27° with 60% humidity and winds W 6 mph..., and overall is a pretty nice day... Somehow I missed seeing your post, Mikel, so I am a bit late in responding, but hope my response fits the subjective note for today...
“Subjective Day!” Why Not?
MY PERSONAL QUOTE:
"In my mind's eye, the world we live in is one in which some people use their subjective thinking to control others, without consideration for what others may care about." Kerry F. Harkins, December 27, 2020
1) "It is psychological law that whatever we desire to accomplish we must impress upon the subjective or subconscious mind." - Orison Swett Marden
2) "Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain subjective, negative, ungrateful way." - Edward de Bono
3) "A Truth is the subjective development of that which is at once both new and universal. New: that which is unforeseen by the order of creation. Universal: that which can interest, rightly, every human individual, according to his pure humanity." - Alain Badiou
4) "Nature and literature are subjective phenomena; every evil and every good thing is a shadow which we cast." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
5) "Man's chief difference from the brutes lies in the exuberant excess of his subjective propensities. Prune his extravagance, sober him, and you undo him." - William James
It is facts, which are important, not subjective wishful thinking...and take note that...
“Leaders take facts into account…cultivating trust and openness means being direct when sharing any information. Making decisions based on facts will save time and avoid doubt. Avoid being subjective because ‘you think’ or ‘maybe’ your opinion is the right one!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
