The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day and End of Month!

Willie is spot on this morning. Hope you got some rest last night.

I pray that you that you quickly respond to the Holy Spirit when HE alerts you that your thoughts are wandering where they shouldn’t, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Heavenly Father, I pray that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters renew our mind daily and hourly as needed. I pray YOU set up a spiritual hedge around each of us and those we love. Enable each of us to recognize YOUR voice and give us discernment to instantly recognize any deceiver.
I pray LORD that YOU comfort each of those of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are grieving loss of family and friends, employment, home, health, and anything else near and dear.
I pray YOU release the Holy Spirit fruit of joy, love, peace, patience, and self-control as YOU know best. Enable each of us to be a blessing to those we love as well as relative strangers YOU bring into our path.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
