LTC Stephen F.
I expect that you are negotiating successfully to influence your family members, and others who depend on your leadership to invest their time and talents to make wonderful Christmas memories for those who are in need Mark.
I pray that you and I are becoming more transparent in influence and confident in the LORD as HE guides and leads us day in and day out, my friend and brother-in-Christ SP5 Mark Kuzinski.
Thank YOU, LORD, for electing each one of us based on YOUR infinite wisdom. LORD I thank YOU for sanctifying each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters.
I pray that the strong people in wealth, with talents and influence to use those giftings to bless the homeless families, the suicidal, the despondent, the widows, the widowers and orphans, the mentally disturbed including those suffering from TBI and PTSD this evening. Enable each one to thrive by daybreak and empower them to flourish in 2020.
I pray that YOU shine light on the corrupt in government especially in the U.S House of Representatives, administration members in former POTUS Obama and current POTUS Trump administrations. Convict the deceitful to tell the truth including the so-called whistleblower.
I pray that YOU release compassion, peace and joy across this land dear God.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Monday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good Monday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from a brisk, but clear sky'd Boston Area and a temp of 33° headed up to 51° if we are lucky! More to come, my friend! ...and here it is!
1) "Firmness in support of fundamentals, with flexibility in tactics and methods, is the key to any hope of progress in negotiation." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
2) "By fighting you never get enough, but by yielding you get more than you expected." - Dale Carnegie
3) "The most critical thing in a negotiation is to get inside your opponent's head and figure out what he really wants." - Jacob Lew
4) "True negotiation takes place when each side respects the other, and their point of view, and enters into the discussion positively. If you are determined that your solution, and your particular solution only, is the correct one - to be imposed on the other side if necessary - that is not negotiation; it is dictatorship."
- Tony Buzan
5) "No problem is so deep that it cannot be overcome, given the will of all parties, through discussion and negotiation rather than force and violence." - Nelson Mandela
6) "Prepare by knowing your walk away [conditions] and by building the number of variables you can work with during the negotiation... you need to have a walk away... a combination of price, terms, & deliverables that represents the least you will accept. Without one, you have no negotiating road map." - Max Keiser
“Warrior leaders use the art of subtle negotiations to influence; align priorities, build confidence in the team and develop a win-win that will lead to mission and objective success and quality results.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from chilly Northern Va. Supposed to get to 50 today.
Negotiation, something apparently our government has forgotten how to do. All I hear are ultimatums from both sides; it doesn't work that way. If we tried to manage our lives or our businesses that way, the failure rate would be close to 100 percent. Find some common ground and work from there; alternatively, find something that the other party wants but hasn't thought of and offer that as a starting point. Often both can come away winners; in a duel, often no one wins.
