Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. I am going for my first vaccination this morning! Tom got his yesterday afternoon.
So many people stress over things that are just temporary. They work themselves up over what is not important in the long term. I taught my daughters the 2-2-2 rule... if you won't care about it in two hours, two days or two weeks, don't bother to get worked up about it now. It's saved her from much stress and anxiety. Before you react and certainly before you overreact, ask yourself if this is a long term or a temporary issue.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - You've got that so right - the stress over things that will be gone, have been gone, or that are yet to come is monumental tight now isn this land of the free and home of the brave Charlie. Great perspective and quotes today...

“Temporary means temporary — nothing will last forever and if you hold onto to those feelings life can be miserable. ‘Everything is temporary, emotions, thoughts, people and scenery. Do not become attached, just go with the flow.’ — Anonymous. May you never trade or discard opportunities for temporary comfort or happiness; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Get past any temporary setbacks with persistence and fortitude. Be positive and move forward each day” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I hope you are aware that we experience life instant-by-instant throughout our sentient being lifetime. For some people, feelings such as joy and pain are temporary, while others feel pain nearly constantly. For the clinically depressed and manic individuals, life is rolls by terribly slowly or at rapid pace respectively. ‘Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!. Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for your statutes continually! [Psalm 119:116-117] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown

I pray for a peaceful and secure night for the homeless, the despondent, the disabled veterans suffering from PTSD/TBI, neuralgias, phantom pain from amputated limbs, clinically depressed, manic and those evicted from small businesses and homes based on local through national decisions affecting the energy industries and construction industries and societal outcasts along with their family members. 'Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.’ [2 Corinthians 1:3-4 ESV]
I pray for solid and trustworthy support for the lonely, the widows, the widowers and the orphans tonight LORD. I pray for permanent and secure housing for the homeless and appropriate business office/building for those who lost their small businesses due to the energy decisions by the POTUS Joe Biden administration. Hopefully the evicted business families are in secure single family or secure apartments. ‘Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like: he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.’ [Luke 6:47-48 ESV]
I lift the individuals in temporary housing including apartments, town and city parking garages, and sidewalk tent communities to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU protect them from harm and weather tonight and through the weekend. ‘Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer; from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings! [Psalm 61:1-4 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members slept well Thursday night and awoke refreshed and healthy on Friday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Thursday” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the warming climes of SW Florida...

It is: “Temporary Day!” In most cases everything is "temporary" when examines the occurences...

"We are only the temporary custodians of the particles which we are made of. They will go on to lead a future existence in the enormous universe that made them" - Stephen Hawking

"Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent." - Marilyn vos Savant

"Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success." - Denis Waitley

"Happiness is just an illusion caused by the temporary absence of reality." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

"The real question is why are millions of people so unhappy, so bored, so unfulfilled, that they are willing to drink, snort, inject or inhale any substance that might blot out reality and give them a bit of temporary relief." - Ann Landers

There are many who subscribe to the temporary, but when drills down to the essence of what life is all about, some do not subscribe to that, but rather...the more permanent and among those, ...

“Leaders may not be the flashiest and they generally don’t care. They may have temporary wins and setbacks, but in the end it is all about integrity and doing the right thing, because it was the right thing!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

COL Mikel J. Burroughs - My favorite quote along those lines is:

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
