Good Thursday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from a very cold Boston Area with a temp of 17°. Still in the sack, but hitting the shower to get ready for my IT work day... I will be back with more in about an hour Live the Topic u chose this morning - Reliability Day! Excellent! I'm off to the shower!
Safe trip home my friend! Here are my selections for "Reliability" to add to our growing list!
1) "Your personal brand is a promise to your clients... a promise of quality, consistency, competency, and reliability." - Jason Hartman
2) "Do actions agree with words? There's your measure of reliability. Never confine yourself to the words." - Frank Herbert
3) The Evidence Bible is a handy tool for anyone interested in proving the reliability of Scripture, the deity of Jesus Christ, and the incredible offer of our eternal salvation. It makes the defense of Scripture easily understood and should be read by all serious Bible students." - Tim LaHaye
4) "Don't make promises unless you will keep them. Not planning to keep them. Will keep them. Reliability is one of the keys to any good relationship, and good customer service is no exception."
- Susan Ward
5) "At first I hoped that such a technically unsound project would collapse but I soon realized it was doomed to success. Almost anything in software can be implemented, sold, and even used given enough determination. There is nothing a mere scientist can say that will stand against the flood of a hundred million dollars. But there is one quality that cannot be purchased in this way - and that is reliability. The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay." - Tony Hoare
6) "I find the evidence for the deity of Jesus and the reliability of the Bible to be powerful and persuasive, and that evidence has only gotten stronger over the years." - Lee Strobel
"Reliability, as it is referred to in life, in people, & in business, is what makes a man or woman a key to any successful endeavor... How do successful people do it? They do it by under promising and over delivering... They do it by accomplishing what they said they would accomplish... They are on time, they follow thru, they DO NOT turn a blind eye. That is reliability, This is what we all should try our hardest to do! BE RELIABLE..." ------ Kerry F. Harkins, November 14, 2019 ------

Good morning my RP Family. The word reliability can also be translated to be dependability. With that in mind I found an interesting article that talks about dependability that has some hows and what, that we can take a look at in relation to reliability/dependability. I found many things in it that apply to our military life as well as civilian life. I believe this can guide to become very reliable. Have a blessed day today and always.

The Character of Dependability
By Dr. Richard J. Krejcir
Is the Character of Dependability working in you?
Here is how you can find out. Take a careful look at this character and fruit of Dependability from God's most precious Word by examining the passages below. Now ask yourself:
1. How do I exhibit Dependability in my daily life?
2. What can I do to develop a better attitude of being Dependable?
3. What blocks me from being dependable?
4. How can I make Dependability function better, stronger and faster even in times of uncertainly and stress?
Dependable (John 15:13; 1 Corinthians 4:2; Colossians 1:10) is being constantly reliable and trustworthy. It will allow us to continue in our commitments even if it means personal sacrifice. This will allow others to build trust in us and point to the One who they can put the most important trust in, Christ as Lord.
Unreliable and unpredictable are the opposites. This can rage from constantly being late and holding others up, to having a personality that is unpredictable that others do not know how to relate and respond to you.
· Here are positive examples from Scripture (Gen. 6:5-8; 7:1-5; Ruth 1:15-18; Matt. 24:42-25:13; Phil. 2:19-23)
· Here is are negative examples from Scripture (2 Sam. 3:26-30; 39; Matt. 25:21-30; 2 Tim. 4:9-11)
FURTHER QUESTIONS
How would you define Dependability? Are you a Dependable person?
What are the things that cause you to be unreliable?
How does being Untrustworthy counteract Dependability?
What happens to our relationships with God and others when we are unreliable with others?
When have you been Dependable the most?
In what situation did you fail to be Dependable in which you should have?
What issue is in your life that would improve with being more Dependable?
Think through the steps you need to take to put Dependability into action in a specific instance. Such as do I really believe that when I hold others up I cause unnecessary frustration and give Jesus a bad reputation? Dependability is a virtue, so you need to strategize on how to apply it in work, friends, school, church…? How can you rethink your schedule and priorities to be more Dependable?
Being a person who others cannot count on or trust will block effective relationships from being built! This will also lead to a false impression of Christianity as people see who Christ is by our actions. Thus, when we are unpredictable how can they see God and church as stable and worth investigation? Our dependability needs to be built on the fact that Christ is dependable with us. Because Christ character is dependable, we should response to what He has done for me out of a sense of gratitude. So we can likewise be dependable to others even when we do not like it or if it is inconvenient. Being dependable is a reflection of our priorities, if your priorities are not God centered then you will not show good character to others. Being trustworthy shows our commitment to others by being a person who cares for them personally as well as a just cause such as church events. Dependability is the quality of always being there for others from family, friends as well as neighbors and the others around us. It is always being faithful! My brother in law who is a Marine pointed out that their motto (whom he says is the greatest elite fighting force of all time, the United States Marine Corps) is "Semper Fidelis," meaning: "Always Faithful", always dependable. Should it not be the motto of the Christian too!
