Good Early Bird Saturday Morning to you COL Mikel J. Burroughs, Isn't it still yesterday in Colo.....? JK
"Stand Up For Yourself Day" .....Well, hey now..There's something I know a bit about....!
“It is important to stand up for what you believe in.” — Cody Linley
So you better:
“Learn to stand up for yourself. No one else is going to do it for you.” — Priyanka Sharma
My thought on this is "Make sure you can back up anything that comes out of you mouth"
I taught my boys to "Stand up for the underdog or anybody that needs help"
They did and still do......I am very proud of them...
A fine good Morning to Bella and Mom, enjoy your morning COL.
I have to be at the yard by 0800 this morning, super busy day today...
Yesterday was a vacation day...I went to Maine and picked up a boat and delivered it to a Mercury Dealer in NH....Good $$$$ for sitting in an A/C truck all day....!
Rock the Day Brother...

I expect that you may well have stood up in defense of others during your lifetime. You no doubt recognize it is more noble to stand up for others and to risk your life on their behalf than to stand up for yourself alone. The LORD Jesus admonishes us [John 12:13 ESV] “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” Alan
I pray that you and I pay attention to the Holy Spirit as HE prompts us to listen well to others, learn from others good and bad behavior and to stand up in defense of others especially widows, widowers, orphans, prisoners of the faith, and the destitute, my brother-in-Christ Alan K..

LORD I lift the police officers, SWAT team members, riot security officers, Federal agents, and others whose duty is to stand up for the protection of individuals and the populace to YOU. I pray that YOU protect them from COVID-19 and other communicable disease infection and their family members.
I pray dear LORD that YOU do what it takes to shake those governmental leaders, council members, and legislators who intend to defund police forces to reverse their plans and fully fund the police forces to the best of their ability.
The LORD values human life above all other forms. HE laid down HIS own human life on the cross to atone for each of HIS adopted sons and daughters – past present and future.
I thank YOU LORD for each individual who has stood up for their neighbor and strangers in the face of the looters, rioters, and protesters around this nation and in other relatively free nations.
Do what it takes LORD to motivate the elected leaders, legislators, and judges to exercise their responsibilities to stand up for individual rights of the citizens in each of the relatively free nation including Australia, Canada, Mexico, India, Europe, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Central and South America.
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on standing up for other people:
a. 'Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.' [Proverbs 31:8-9 ESV]

b. 'Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.' [Isaiah 1:17 ESV]

c. 'Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.' [James 1:27 ESV]

d. 'Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.' [Ephesians 6:13 ESV]
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.

Stand! Like Sly Stone. His was the first act with both whites and blacks in the same band. The first band with women playing instruments. When the Black Panthers came to Sly and demanded he get those honkies out of his band, he told them, "Get the f&@% out!"

Stand! Great topic, today, sir.

COL Mikel Burroughs good read/share: for the Colonel's Motivational Quotes of the Day. Where the mighty American Bald Eagles roam in the mighty ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THIER EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICIENT on this day June 6, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of July. As you know I would respond a lot throughout the week, but I am full-time DOD employee doing contracts for the Defense Contracting Management Agency. It is good to have some time on the weekend before I start my running around to respond my friend.

Today's theme is “Stand Up for Yourself Day!” I WAS ALWAYS TOLD TO STAND FOR SOMETHING, OR FALL FOR ANYTHING. THE MILITARY EXPERIENCED ME TOWARDS ACCEPTING RESPONSIBLITLY FOR MY ACTIONS/SELF (GOOD/BAD)

The picture depicts my inner-thought:

Great quote this morning SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - here's something to remember Joe - "May you always stand up for yourself with professionalism, courage, and wisdom in what you believe in as an individual and veteran; may you always be positive and resilient as your standing up tall; and may you keep yourself safe, strong, and healthy. Stand up tall today and every day for what you believe and the values you hold dear!" - COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
