Good RED Friday COL Mikel J. Burroughs What an excellent topic. We grow by learning and by new experiences. What better way to do that than by trying out new things and stretching ourselves to encompass all that we have learned.
The majority of us who have served have experienced this. We've lived in other countries, learned about other cultures, tried new foods while our contemporaries have stayed home. My experiences in the military have made me a "lifelong learner" and I am very thankful for that.
What new experiences are you looking forward to?

I pray that you encourage those you love to never stop learning, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Heavenly Father, YOU blessed each human being with a mind with inherent capabilities to learn and do and limitations for our protection. YOU created each of us to be social beings who engage in communication; teaching and being taught; loving and being loved; feeding and being fed and so much more.
Help us dear God to encourage inquisitiveness in our children and those we are responsible for. Help us to properly use initiative to bless those we love and are responsible for.
I pray that YOU bless each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters with wisdom, grace and discernment as we embark on physical or vicarious journeys and have the opportunity to view new vistas, scents, sounds, textures and tastes. Help us dear God to be free to share our relationship and why we have faith in YOU with whomever YOU prompt us to.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
