COL Mikel Burroughs good read/share: for the Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day. Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THIER EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICIENT on this day July 3, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of August. As you know I would respond a lot throughout the week, but I am full-time DOD employee doing contracts for the Defense Contracting Management Agency. It is good to have some time on my day off to respond my friend.
HAPPY RED FRIDAY. NEVER FORGET THOSE WHOM ARE DEPLOYED DEFENDING FREEDOM AND PROTECTING FREEDOM as we Americans live our LIVES.

I expect that you realize you are generally keeping up in the human race. The most important aspect is the progress of sanctification of the soul which is entirely in God’s ‘hands’ and as the LORD reminds us the second commandment is to ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ “Therefore, I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.' [Matthew 5:25, 31, 33 ESV] Joe.
I pray that you and I are compassionately involved in helping others to keep up in their education, training, and experience in life. I pray that you and I pay attention to the prompting of the LORD and that we respond quickly so as not to fall behind, my brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
LORD I lift YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are proverbially trying to keep up with the Jones and anybody else other than YOU. I pray that YOU do whatever it takes to turn their focus from transient worldly aspirations [including accumulating wealth, power, beauty, and/or fame] to YOUR kingdom and loving their neighbors without jealousy.
I pray that of YOUR adopted sons and daughters are increasingly demonstrating love for their neighbors and anybody they we interact with. I pray that married couples are demonstrating selfless love for each other and that parents and grandparents demonstrate selfless love for their children/grandchildren.
LORD I pray that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters takes YOUR admonishment to heart:
a. 'Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.' [Isaiah 1:16-17 ESV]
b. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.' [James 1:26-27 ESV]
c. 'And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets’. [Matthew 22:37-40 ESV]
LORD I lift the sick, the injured, the first responders and the medical professionals throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America to YOU. I pray that the first responders and medical professionals are supported adequately to rescue and successfully treat each person in need of medical treatment. I pray that YOU bless those involved in triage with wisdom to prioritize and treat patients.
I pray that the elected leaders, legislators, and appointed individuals are blessed with wisdom and an improved sense of fiscal responsibility as they work on legislation and policy. I pray that YOU motivate each one to focus on what is critical without adding ‘pork’ as they negotiate during the legislative processes. I pray that the local, state, provincial and national economies are being reopened in a reasonable manner and timing and that judges will rule wisely and quickly on reopening economy issues throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on what we need to do.
a. 'But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.' [James 1: 22-27]
b. ''Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause. “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.' [Isaiah 1:16-17 ESV]
c. 'Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.' [Proverbs 31:8-9 ESV]
d. ‘But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” [Matthew 22:34-39 ESV]
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Friday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

''Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause. “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.' [Isaiah 1:16-17 ESV]
c. 'Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.' [Proverbs 31:8-9 ESV]
d. ‘But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” [Matthew 22:34-39 ESV]
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Friday night.

“Falling Behind Day!” Why Not?
1) "There are... two kinds of people: those who are changing and those who are setting themselves up to be victims of change. As the world continues to march on around us, if I am only maintaining the status quo - if I'm not growing - then I'm falling behind." - Jim Clemmer
2) "You just can’t beat the person who won’t give up.” ―Babe Ruth
3) "“Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.” ―James A. Michener
4) “Survival can be summed up in three words―never give up. That’s the heart of it really. Just keep trying.” ―Bear Grylls
It all comes down to you! It is your choice, so...
“If you’re on your game, self-motivated, and inspired to go the extra mile, then you won’t be falling behind!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

LTC Stephen F.
I expect that you realize you are generally keeping up in the human race. The most important aspect is the progress of sanctification of the soul which is entirely in God’s ‘hands’ and as the LORD reminds us the second commandment is to ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ “Therefore, I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Therefore, do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.' [Matthew 5:25, 31, 33 ESV] Kerry.
I pray that you and I are compassionately involved in helping others to keep up in their education, training, and experience in life. I pray that you and I pay attention to the prompting of the LORD and that we respond quickly so as not to fall behind, my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
LORD I lift YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are proverbially trying to keep up with the Jones and anybody else other than YOU. I pray that YOU do whatever it takes to turn their focus from transient worldly aspirations [including accumulating wealth, power, beauty, and/or fame] to YOUR kingdom and loving their neighbors without jealousy.
I pray that of YOUR adopted sons and daughters are increasingly demonstrating love for their neighbors and anybody they we interact with. I pray that married couples are demonstrating selfless love for each other and that parents and grandparents demonstrate selfless love for their children/grandchildren.
LORD I pray that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters takes YOUR admonishment to heart:
a. 'Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.' [Isaiah 1:16-17 ESV]
b. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.' [James 1:26-27 ESV]
c. 'And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets’. [Matthew 22:37-40 ESV]
LORD I lift the sick, the injured, the first responders and the medical professionals throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America to YOU. I pray that the first responders and medical professionals are supported adequately to rescue and successfully treat each person in need of medical treatment. I pray that YOU bless those involved in triage with wisdom to prioritize and treat patients.
I pray that the elected leaders, legislators, and appointed individuals are blessed with wisdom and an improved sense of fiscal responsibility as they work on legislation and policy. I pray that YOU motivate each one to focus on what is critical without adding ‘pork’ as they negotiate during the legislative processes. I pray that the local, state, provincial and national economies are being reopened in a reasonable manner and timing and that judges will rule wisely and quickly on reopening economy issues throughout the USA, as well as Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on what we need to do.
a. 'But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.' [James 1: 22-27]
b. ''Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause. “Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be eaten by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.' [Isaiah 1:16-17 ESV]
c. 'Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.' [Proverbs 31:8-9 ESV]
d. ‘But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.
