The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day!
Good "Wednesday" Morning Everyone from the "Eagle's Nest" here in Castle Rock, CO. ― December 19, 2018!
Today is: "Power of Community Day!" Why Not?
"Building a community of friendship, acceptance, and support for veterans, service members, and their families, where there is no judgment, stigma, or negativity ― That is what "Warriors for Life" is all about and my testimony!" ― COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." ― Margaret J. Wheatley
"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men." ― Herman Melville
"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." ― Coretta Scott King
"Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much" ― Helen Keller

"We don't heal in isolation, but in community." ― S. Kelley Harrell
"Community is not an ideal; it is people. It is you and I. In community we are called to love people just as they are with their wounds and their gifts, not as we want them to be." ― Jean Vanier
"We can all make a difference in the lives of others in need, because it is the most simple of gestures that make the most significant of differences." ― Miya Yamanouchi

The one that speaks to me today is from Helen Keller: "Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much" This is the premise behind every community project I am involved in. I find it is normally one or two people that are the catalyst behind a project/good deed. When those people move on the project fades. If people would realize the power that they have when united in one voice. We could move mountains and change society for the better in every case. Few of us realize this and why we do what we do- when it catches on across the spectrum- now that will be a day I want to see. Great Hump Day thoughts Col.

Have a wonderful Wednesday night, my friend and brother-in-Christ Maj Marty Hogan.
Heavenly Father, YOU are the author of all creation. YOU are always aware of the state of the amoeba to the crown of YOUR creation – mankind. YOU desire unhindered fellowship with each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters. YOU also desire that each of us are desiring to fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ and expand relationships within YOUR body.
LORD in the Book of Genesis, YOU warned YOUR disciples before the Tower of Babel as the ancients attempted to reach to the sky. The warning was not about the tower specifically; but, the conspiracy to strain for the heavens on their own merits. At that point YOU ensured that the common language was not understood after that point. Since that point many languages have arisen. YOU desire that each language and dialect can read and understand YOUR word.
In Christ, different languages and dialects in business and among families & friends should not hinder fellowship and community.
I pray that YOU will empower each of YOUR own to reach out to those from other cultures, dialects, backgrounds and draw them into fellowship during this Christmas season.
There are veterans and military service members and family members from various cultures and backgrounds and many languages. Let YOUR light shine across the military services, military and veteran communities this season. I pray that tensions will be reduced and love will increase.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Thank you for this morning's quotes and message COL Mikel J. Burroughs I would hope that people here on Rally Point and especially those who have joined us in Warriors for Life understand the power of community. We were created to be social beings; none of us were meant to stand alone. All it takes is the first smile, the reaching out of a hand to help someone, a kind word and we have community in action. With many separated from their families by misunderstandings, geography, military service or something else, is there a way you can help? What can you do to further your connection in your community today?
