Good MORNING, MIKEL AND RALLY POINT!
I could not be more myself; if I tried. What you see, is what you get; to a certain extent. However, I am far more complex than that.
My music career is based on me: my suffering, my painful past, my fantasy life, my being a romanticist, my loving Love and Compassion....and More.
MY PRAYER FOR THEE, MIKEL, AND FOR THEE MY RALLY POINT FAMILY: IS THAT YOU EXPERIENCE A JOYFUL AND PEACEFUL DAY. IT'S FRIDAY!!!! ;-)
I LOVE YOU ALL TO THE HILT!- Margaret COL Mikel J. Burroughs

I pray that you honor those who love you and let each know how much they mean to you, my friend and sister-in-Christ SPC Margaret Higgins.
Heavenly Father, I pray that each and every one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters embraces the truth and values each human being as created in YOUR image and worthy of respect. YOU are perfect and each of us is becoming perfected as the best possible version of our self.
Open our eyes and ears to the beauty around us – especially in those closest to us. I pray that we each appreciate the uniqueness of each person closest too us. Help us dear God to honor and cherish each YOU have brought to us in family, friendship, and even strangers.
Enable each of us to stand in the gap for those who can not stand firm. Use us to encourage, help, listen to, and comfort whomever needs it within our sphere of influence.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good RED Friday COL Mikel J. Burroughs
I hear a lot of people say, "this is who I am" and that's not a bad thing. However, my question is, "is this your best self?" Is this who you are proud to "put out there and call authentic?" If you can do better, be kinder, more considerate, more thoughtful, it is worth being a better you.
We all have things we can improve; what can you do to make yourself a better you?
