I expect you recognize that God transforms our own bad decisions, actions and the repercussions into good for the body of Christ corporately and each of us periodically in HIS perfect timing Joe & Christine.
I pray that you and I routinely and consistently submit our plans and our life to the LORD and that we each respond appropriately to HIS guidance and directional promptings, my brother-in-Christ TSgt Joe C. and Christine C Cullinan.
I lift the leaders of the nations and the subordinate government states, provinces, counties, cities, towns and villages and the legislatures and judges to YOU LORD. I pray for wisdom and an increase in honesty for each person in leadership, judge and lawmaker. I pray for an increased sense of community and improved relationships between neighbors and nations.
I thank YOU LORD for all that YOU do and YOUR restraining of the evil that men and women would inflict in times of crisis. YOU allow bounded calamity to occur and to be inflicted for a time. By YOUR grace YOU give us endurance through the fire, the flood, the earthquake and the terrible winds of life.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones slept well Friday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

I love the mountain symbolism in the COL's post. If we keep focused on the mountain trek, we are going upwards and therefore in the "right" direction. Besides, as we have seen in many examples, there may be a guru up there ready to share the meaning of life with us. In the photo, I am headed to Everest Base Camp. In Nepal there is a holy man around every corner and across every suspension bridge. I came back down to reality energized for the rest of my life.

Good morning Mikel and my friends on RallyPoint! I enjoyed reading today's topic. Most of us want to do the right thing.

Maj Scott Kiger, M.A.S. - Character is doing the right thing when no one is looking. I too have heard that from many of my leaders and have used it myself in my classrooms.
