Good “Thursday” Morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from the crystal clear blue skies of the Greater Boston Area where the sunny temperature is 70° and headed upwards of 86° with a humidity of 70%... A warm one for sure... “Integrity Day!” Why Not?
"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent." - Douglas MacArthur
and remember this...

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
Sgt (Join to see) - Great post today Kerry and the MacArthur quote is "spot on" brother. Thanks for the additional adds today. Kerry “May your leadership values and qualities you possess be preceded and followed by your unwavering integrity as you move forward in this life; may you stay positive in all of your callings and resilient through all the rough spots; and my you continue to stay healthy and keep your family safe, strong, and healthy. Integrity equals Respect – keep earning it, because it will be tested every day when no one is looking or around to see it in action – only you will!” – COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

LTC Stephen F.
I expect that you believe your integrity is somewhat improved over your life. God does not grade on a curve and HE knows all about your hopes, dreams, fears and your words and thoughts. Although HE justified your soul at salvation, HE admonishes us to confess to HIM as soon as the Holy Spirit prompts us. 'Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.' Kerry
I pray that you and I sincerely offer our time, talents, and treasure to the LORD. I pray that YOU transform the mind of each one of us and make it crystal clear that YOUR Word is absolute truth, my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
The LORD tolerates inconsistent behavior from those who believe they are HIS adopted sons and daughters as HE sanctifies the soul of each one of HIS own. He abhors those who profess to know HIM and deny HIM by their works to glorify themselves, their projects, and their prejudices.
I thank YOU LORD for local, state, and national leaders who are working hard to consistently demonstrate integrity. I pray that YOU bless each of these officials with wisdom and favor as they interact to restore trust as they work to restore the local, state. and national economies via business, neighborhoods, and families.
I pray for the individuals the rioters and looters injured and the families of any killed. I pray that YOU comfort and the injured citizens, police force members and deployed National Guard members and that YOU restore the integrity of those broken innocent bodies.
LORD I pray that thresh through the government officials and others who are supporting the rioters, thugs, and looters. I pray they thugs turn on the benighted and corrupt folks and officials and YOU bring night terrors to those who refuse to repent
I thank you LORD for the neighbors, strangers and others who are helping to clean up the destruction after the riots and wonton looting. I pray that YOU restore neighborhood integrity and small business integrity throughout this nation.
Do what it takes LORD to improve integrity, personal responsibility, and trust in YOU throughout this nation and each other relatively free nation including Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America.
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on integrity and trust:
a. 'The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.' [Proverbs 11:3 (ESV)]
b. 'Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.' [Proverbs 28:6 (ESV)]
c. 'Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find. The righteous who walks in his integrity—blessed are his children after him!' [Proverbs 20:6-7 (ESV)]
d. 'To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work. [Titus 1:15-16 ESV]
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Thursday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

On a more "rubber hits the road" level, integrity is acting the same when you're alone as you do when the troops are watching.
Great topic, sir. Have a great day, Rally Point.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Integrity. I can't say enough about how important this is to those in leadership positions and in all our dealings with others. There appears to be a national shortage of this right now from the ground up to the highest levels of government and that, in my opinion is why we have the situation we have right now. No one trusts anyone else to tell the truth, but only to do what suits them or makes them look good. Too much finger pointing and not enough acceptance of responsibility.
