I pray that you and I ponder our actions before we act and that we act deliberately by doing good in the eyes of those we are helping, my friend and brother-in-Christ CW5 Jack Cardwell.
LORD YOU designed us to live moment by moment with memories of the past and hopes for the future. I pray that hope has replaced debilitating fear and worry in the souls of each one who reads this prayer.
LORD I pray that YOU cleanse our thought-life and that evil and less-than-good thoughts are being replaced by uplifting, knowledge-based, and hope-filled thoughts.
Motivate each of us act with love towards each one. Guide us to what we should do and empower us to seek YOU for guidance on everything we plan to do.
May our words be refreshing as dew in the morning to a parched land.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good "Red" Friday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from a crystal clear blue sky Greater Boston Area!!! It seemed to be a very long day of travel yesterday, but looking out my office window, it is absolutely gorgeous! Of course, I am not looking out across the 7th fairway of our Golf Course in FL, but still it is home! - "Speaking Quotes" - Here are some quotes I selected for today's topic:
1) "Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
2) "A good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.” ― Winston S. Churchill
3) “Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.” ― Voltaire
4) “If you can't impress them with your argument, impress them with your actions.”
― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words
5) “It [speaking with words that bring about harmony] consists of speaking of what is good about people, instead of what is wrong with them. For some people this is an almost impossible exercise, for they have become totally habituated to speaking critically. We all seem to have a special talent for finding critical things to say about the world, about others, and about ourselves! (117)”
― Jean-Yves Leloup,
6) “The tongue can be an ambassador of the heart. Or a deadly weapon. Somehow the Spirit of God took hold of me. I realized the devastating power of reckless words. And I began to pray that God would transform my tongue and use my words to bring healing and hope.”
― Phil Callaway, Family Squeeze: Tales of Hope and Hilarity for a Sandwiched Generation
We all have a seemingly difficult time knowing when and how to speak and when we finally decide to speak, we often speak critically... Words, even a single word, can have a profound effect on those we are speaking to... That said, remember...
"We all know that "Action speaks louder than words" At the same time make an inspirational impact on organizations and during one-on-one conversations with individuals by projecting a positive speaking attitude - does your speaking drive motivation?" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
