I expect that you are enduring well most of the time during this COVID-19 infection risk period because your faith in the LORD is unshaken as you remember how HE has brought you through previous trials and testing D. Wayne.
I pray that you and I demonstrate our faith in the LORD as HE increases our fruit of the Spirit compassion, goodness, and self-control to those in close proximity of our daily walk in faith. I pray that we encourage those who are especially vulnerable to fear and wavering in this quarantine timeframe, my brother-in-Christ LTC (Join to see).
I pray that each mother will be honored on Mother’s Day by the steadfast love and respect of their children. I pray that children will be encouraged by their father to honor their mom.
I thank YOU LORD for YOUR Word: “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” [Matthew 7:24-27 ESV]
I pray that the President of the USA, the Vice President of the U.S.A., and their primary staff members are unshaken in their duty to lead this nation through the COVID-19 infection risk response and the economic recovery. I pray that YOU bless them with wisdom and move the state governors to work together regionally as the economy is reopened safely and incrementally.
I pray dear LORD that YOU bless many of those on the front lines of the COVID-19 infection with antibodies to this virus and enable their faily members to safely develop antibodies as well.
I pray that those working to develop robust and safe vaccines to COVID-19 are unshaken in their determination to defeat this current pandemic risk and any mutations to this virus. I pray that YOU guide the mind and hands of each person working to develop the treatment and enable them to develop effective vaccines by this autumn.
I lift those service members and interagency operatives on the front lines of the global war on terrorism on land, in the air and on and under the sea to YOU dear LORD. I pray YOU protect them from viral infections, and YOU bless them with antibodies to reduce the risk of infection. I pray YOU bless them with wisdom and success to defeat the terrorist regimes.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Saturday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL. "Unshaken" .....
"Go Ahead, Shake My Day"......!
I have to admit, being shaken up hasn't happened to me since childhood......
I was beaten up by four kids (2 six footers) in 8th grade,......
At that point I said NEVER again, nothing really shakes me up anymore.....Just makes me aggravated instead.....(I edited that from "Mad", because I get even actually, not mad.)
Then I do something about it......
I look forward to the day that we meet again......
That is one little tidbit of my life,
Unshaken, Unforgiving........
Good morning to the bosses, enjoy your morning...
Rock the Day Brother
BTW, T shirt yesterday and 3 inches of snow today...!!!!!!!

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs This is a time for us to remain unshaken in our most fundamental beliefs. In our faith, in America as a free nation, in our families and in doing the right things as we see them. That will get us through this time of uncertainty and find us stronger on the other side.

I love the Ghandi quote. I learned decades ago that i must stand for what i believe in or I will fail in everything.
I've been called arrogant, out of date, stupid, and a host of other words for standing firm in my beliefs and it doesn't bother me at all. I know what my reward is and when I pass through the Pearly Gates I will hear my Lord say "Well done my good and faithful servant".
