Here is a great oldie for today's quotes and message that many of you will remember:

https://youtu.be/HE17huAYb6U

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house
"Hey! What gives you the right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, man, you're some kinda sinner"
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!
And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine"
Wooo!
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Sign
Sign, sign

I expect that as you have matured as a leader and that you probably have become a more thoughtful and attentive listener to those you lead especially in your family members. Hopefully as you have spiritually matured you have become more transparent, more gracious in honoring the achievements of those you lead, accepting blame for problems and shortfalls, and clarity of thinking. 'Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.' [Philippians 4:8 ESV] my brother-in-Christ COL Mikel J. Burroughs.

LORD God, I lift each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are distracted from their God-ordained purpose in life, those who are more focused on their preferences much more than seeking YOUR will for their life, and those who support suicide including physician assisted and induced abortion. I pray that YOU open their eyes, their ears and rejuvenate their heart to be sensitive to YOUR guidance. Soft the hardening hearts and enable them to repent and seek rejuvenated fellowship with YOU. ‘Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.’ [Psalm 51:9-11 ESV]
I pray LORD that YOU do what it takes to shake up the WOKE, prune the faithful from those caught up in the misnamed word of faith movement, draw as many as YOU are willing to save from Antifa, BLM, other radical left and any radical right groups. ‘The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. [Matthew 13:39b – 43 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Black Friday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

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 MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THEIR EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICENT on this day November 27, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of December. 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 the weekend before I start my running around to respond my friend.

Today's theme is “Sign Day!” , I quote “The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” — Albert Einstein

The picture depicts my inner-thought:

Great quote for today SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL thank you my friend and have a great day and weekend...

“Today is a sign day and there are so many signs in this life that you’ll receive, good signs and bad signs. Signs of hope love, caring, and friendship. Signs that’ll tell you can’t come in, stay out, no trespassing, out of order, and closed. Then there are signs of greatness in leadership, support, and stewardship. May you seek and feel the right sign today in your life; may you show signs of a positive and inspiring attitude toward others and life; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a bountiful sign of life that matters; and keep safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Hopefully 2020 will not be a sign of things to come. We the people can change that. Don’t wait for a sign today — make your own… If you’re waiting for a sign, this is it.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Col Burroughs on this Friday after Thanksgiving. May we all remember everyone deployed who didn't get to enjoy a holiday with their families in whatever fashion it was celebrated this year.
Signs are everywhere around us. Some we follow, some we ignore, some we laugh at and others seem to just confuse us. They are intended to be a form of communication of important ideas but often they don't achieve that because the intended receivers are either not open to the message, they don't understand it or the reject it. Paying attention to signs both actual and behavioral is a form of mindfulness. Be aware of your attitude and choices and make them deliberate.

I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. How great [are] his signs! and how mighty [are] his wonders! his kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion [is] from generation to generation.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Awesome scripture and soound advice for the signs we will receive today, tomorrow, and in the future. There maybe signs we missed in the past that we need to go back and take a look at as well (lessons learned)... Have a great "R.E.D. Friday" and enjoy this last weekend of November 2020. What an unusual year for sure Charlie...
