The Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day and Week!
Good "Red Friday" Morning Everyone from the "Eagle's Nest" in Castle Rock, CO as we "Remember Everyone Deployed" until they come home again. — 17 May 2019!
We have 32 weeks and 229 days until 2020!
Today is: "Flowing Water Day!" Why Not?
"Life doesn't stop or slow down for a minute or a moment, it's like flowing water that keeps on moving. Are you going through life like a slow trickle in the stream or moving like fast-paced large moving rapids? You Decide!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "The idea is that flowing water never goes stale, so just keep flowing." — Bruce Lee
"Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of your life." — Unknown Author
"The mind is like water. When it is turbulent, it is difficult to see. When it is calm, everything becomes clearer." — Prasad Mahes
"Flow around obstacles just like water flows around rocks." — Jana Kingsford
"The serenity of flowing water fills tranquility into my chaotic mind. — Remus
"Life is like a river. The way of life is to flow with the current. To turn against it takes effort, but the current will carry you if you let it. Float with joy and ease." — Unknown Author
"Its good to leave each day behind, like flowing water, free of sadness. Yesterday is gone and its tale told. Today new seeds are growing." — Rumi
"We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course." — Arthur Golden

Good RED Friday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Very philosophical this morning.
We tend to set ourselves going in a direction, often with others and it seems that we continue along that way unless something comes to make us change it. It doesn't have to be an obstacle; it could be something that we choose, like a new opportunity or moving from one stage of our lives to another.
Where are you in your life journey? Are you flowing along or are you setting a new course?

I pray that you and I are becoming more resilient, trustworthy and compassionate as we move through life, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Thank YOU, LORD that YOU are in control of all including the ebb and flow of life for each of us. YOU never stagnate. There come times in the lives of each when we or those we love stagnate for a season in a hospital ward, nursing home, recovering at home and even behind bars for some.
LORD, I pray that YOU empower each husband to cherish his own wife and refresh her through the washing the Word of God over her. I pray that parents unite in Christ and raise their children in the love and admonition of the LORD. Help us to wash our children by the cleansing Word of God.
Guide those of us who are prayer warriors to intercede for this nation, cities, towns, families and individuals as YOU direct us.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - had to go in this morning for an emergency root canal. Not firing on all cylinders since I am trying to minimize pain meds.

Excellent, SGT (Join to see)! Many have heard the first part of the quote (usually as a riddle), but few have heard the last part, which gives it weight. Thanks.
