Great quote and great leaders will make mistakes along the way. That is how they learn and that is how they improve Deborah! Inaction is a like a sore that you leave unattended and it becomes infected and causes more damage in the end. Take action today and rub out the problem and keep on moving forward. That is my motto! You have a great day Sgt Deborah Cornatzer

"Should have"; "would have" and "could have" and the three biggest cop outs there are. Like the Nike ad says, "Just do it!".

Good evening my friend and sister-in-Christ Sgt Deborah Cornatzer.
Heavenly Father, YOU never exert YOURSELF and yet YOU uphold all that exists. YOU are omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent whenever we need YOU. YOU never rush to judgment and YOUR patience seems to be boundless on behalf of those YOU created. YOU created the path for all to have fellowship with YOU thought the atonement of the CHRIST.
I pray that YOU bless each of YOUR adopted children with wisdom and discernment to understand when action or patience is wise and for how long.
We desperately need to be sensitive to YOU Holy Spirit. I pray that YOU help each adopted child to be purposeful and quick to respond to YOU. I pray that each will trust YOU fully and move, stop and repent as quickly as we can when YOU prompt us.
I pray that YOU prompt us to pray and intercede for whomever YOU designate.
I lift up those recovering to you and pray for as much healing of each as YOU will permit as gently and as soon as possible: Cynthia, Mrs. Price, Larry, Keith and my wife Maria.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs great topic, I like "Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction. - Harry Truman
I've always lived by my way getting it done is better than your way of talking about the perfect way to do it to death.
Have a Blessed and great Red Friday Mikel and family and RP family.

Going with a quote from one of my anesthesia instructors: "when everything is going to hell in a handbasket, don't stand there trying to think what to do, do something; it will likely be the right thing!"
