The Colonel’s Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day and Week!

Liars! As an Eagle Scout and 50 plus years as a scout leader, I think of the millions of youth and adults who raised their right hands and said: "On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country..." and then recited the 12 points of the Scout Law beginning with A scout is trustworthy, loyal, etc. The explanation of A Scout is Trustworthy is "a scouts word is to be trusted"... We need more politicians to learn from scouting.

The problem sometimes with the truth is that it is becoming quite a common occurrence in that people do not want to hear or read it.

I expect that you are spiritually mature to be honest and yet compassionate to not deliberately hurt somebody’s feelings. Hopefully you and I are sensitive to the prompting of the Holy Spirit and quick to confess and repent when we deliberately err of accidently sin. I pray that we are each quick to forgive when anybody seeks our forgives. Hopefully we are each respectful and avoid gossiping and dwelling on gossip ‘Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. …Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.’ [Ephesians 4:29, 31-32 ESV] my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown

I thank YOU LORD that YOU reward each sincere searcher for truth with an increase in wisdom as YOU lead them towards the absolute truth of YOU. ‘And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.’ Hebrews 11:6]
I lift those adopted sons and daughters of YOUR who are earnestly praying for salvation for their loved ones to YOU. I pray that YOU bless most with good news about the individual(s) they have been interceding for before the end of January 2021. ‘The end of all things is at hand; therefore, be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.’ [1 Peter 4:7-10 ESV]
I pray for an increase of trust in YOU in this nation, Canada, Mexico, UK, France, Germany, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Israel, Russia, India, China, Korea, Japan, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand. ‘Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.’ [Psalm 37-3-4 ESV]
In this week before inauguration in the USA, I lift elected officials, appointed officials, and spokespeople from all sides to YOU dear LORD. I pray that truth will be forthcoming and that YOU will shine light to burn out corruption wherever it lays. I pray that deliberate lies will be exposed in the coming days and what was considered appropriate and good for the goose will be turned to the gander from local to national levels. ‘For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth ‘ [Romans 1:18 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well 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.

PO2 Dunlap, With all due respect, you gotta be kidding that you believe this garbage. You insult MY Scouting program and demean my boys and girls who raise their right hands and pledge "On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty to God and MY (and your) Country... That is nothing like anything The Soviet (Communist) Young Pioneers ever swore. I had the honor as a Russian linguist (ex Military Intelligence) of welcoming the first non-communist Russian Scouts to the National Scout Jamboree in 2013 along with 40,000 Americans. I wish you could have heard 40,000 American kids raising their right hands and pledging to the Flag and saying the Scout Oath and Law. They are not part of a Communist Conspiracy but the hope of American kids. The Russian Scouts were eager for free expression and hoping that their country can become more of a western democracy. Last year, I helped commission a brand new ensign at the USCG Academy who was my female Crew Chief of our Venture Scouts 4 years before. Two of my grandsons are Eagle Scouts, one is a Jet Mechanic in the Air Guard on his way to USAF Flight School and the other will raise his right hand in May as I administer the oath at his commissioning in the Army. Please keep your communist conspiracy crap out of my way and the way of the hundreds of scouts I have mentored over the past 50 years.

Sgt Robert Hellyer - I have no idea how to do that on RallyPoint. The older media required a process to determine if it was a needed group.

SPC Michael Terrell - that probably explains why I couldn't find anything about creating a group when I searched. I did find topics relating to "side gigs" and "side hustles", but that was all. And those seemed to be more closely related to those that were active duty at the time.

Maybe COL Mikel J. Burroughs could point you in the right direction?

SPC Michael Terrell - That's what I was thinking, too.

Roger That!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs Boy there would sure be a lot of politicians arrested for indecent exposure if that happened! :-)

True statement Marty!
