The Colonel's Motivational Quote of the Day and Week!
Good "Red Friday" Morning from the "Mobile Eagle's Nest" here in Fort Worth, TX — 14 June 2019!
We have (28) weeks and (201) days until 2020!
Day 12 ended with a great "Meet and Greet" from the city of Forth Worth, TX where SP5 Billy Mullins and I had the pleasure of meeting with a great group of veterans for dinner at Uncle Julio's Mexican restaurant. We were able to get several group photos of the entire group to include some wives. We had Andie Coller meet us there as well from Washington DC to capture some unique stories for her piece she is writing for the Washington Post on medical debt and it's affects on our nation's veterans and their families. Today is Day 13 as Billy and I head for Salina, KS. Keep those donations happening everyone. Picked up a lot last night from he group here in Fort Worth, TX and that was awesome.
We're working to raise $50,000 to abolish $5Million in Healthcare Debt for our Veterans. "I need your help in raising that $50,000". Will you help me & my RIPRIDE4VETS team?

Good RED Friday COL Mikel J. Burroughs and I hope your trip is as profitable for RIPMedical Debt as you planned. It is such a wonderful cause.
I live by a schedule. If it isn't on my calendar, the likelihood is that it will not get done. I always have a plan for the day but if something in it doesn't make the schedule...
What is important to you should be on your schedule whether formally or informally or the chances are it will be overlooked. And if spending time with those you love is a priority but somehow there isn't enough time, then schedule it.

I pray that you and I remember that the LORD knows the desires and plans of our heart and that we submit our plans to HIM, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
LORD YOUR love for each of us is awesome. YOU know everything about us and yet YOU accept us as we are and LOVE us so much YOU are conforming us into the best, we can each possibly be.
I pray dear God, that each of YOUR adopted children trusts you explicitly enough to submit our desires and plans to YOU and that we yield to YOUR wisdom when required. Enable us to seek Godly counsel before we embark on a major venture which requires our time, talents and treasure.
Thank YOU for always preparing YOUR own adopted children just in time.
LORD, I pray that YOU will move the U.S. Congress to work and develop sound compromises on nonessential matters and develop an effective and efficient authorization and appropriation bills for each Federal Department and Agency on time.
I pray for safe and secure travel for each and every one traveling Saturday through this week and beyond and success for the fundraising and fellowship efforts of Mikel and Billy.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good "Red Friday" Morning COL. "Schedule Day" Is that like "Make a list in the morning day" ?
I know a thing or two about that...! I am all about planning and scheduling your time, so your plan comes together. However you must be flexible and flow like a river, because plans sometimes change that is why there is always Plan B and C....But you knew that!
We will start with the "Motivator in Chief" ...:
"If you talk about it, it's a dream, if you envision it, it's possible, but if you schedule it, it's real." — Tony Robbins
"Do something every day to further your dream" Never stop....
so true....
"A goal without a plan is just a wish." — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I can depend on you to tell it like it is:
"You can have all sorts of lofty plans for what you want to achieve, but they won't get accomplished on their own — you have to schedule certain tasks together moving in the right direction. It's time to schedule people!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
Last but best:
"Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure that you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule around Him." ― Joyce Meyer
2 crazy busy days coming up, thankfully the weather should cooperate..
When you "Phone Home" please give my regards....
Rock the big Road COL. and Billy
You both are awesome for doing this....
I used every second of Wednesday on the lake...I have some more pics outside in the office
