Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Somehow we always know when things are for show. You move things around and discover nothing is behind it. Like those huge houses that are pretty on the outside but the people who are living in them can't afford to buy furniture. Or the "fake villages" put up to cover up slums...somehow it always comes out. The point is to find out what matters to you and to live that way. Stop worrying about what others think.

LTC Stephen F.
I pray that you and I treat each person we interact with respectfully with honor even as we would like to be treated if the roles were reversed, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray LORD that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters desire to honor YOU in all we say, do and even think. I earnestly pray that we are not overly impressed by trappings of wealth, power, education, an/or title. I pray that YOU transform our mind and heart/soul so that we see people as YOU see them.
Do what it takes in each of us to be a blessing to each one we interact with. Purge us of duplicity, unwholesome pride, envy and illegitimate bias. Strengthen love, compassion, grace and mercy within us and lead us to encourage those who need encouragement.
Thank YOU, LORD that YOU love each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters equally. YOU know us best and YOU love us exactly as we are.
I thank YOU LORD that YOU raise people up and reduce them in rank in accordance with YOUR wisdom, mercy, justice and love.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well tonight.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good Saturday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from a very somewhat cold Greater Boston Area... I'm not up yet, but am trying to wake up enough to hit the shower! Lol! More coming shortly! Yep, I am back ready to go! and a great topic today, Mike! -------> “No Need to Impress Day!” <-------
Here are my top five selections for today's Topic:
1) "If we live a self-directed, self-motivated, self-centered life, always needing to get our own way, then we're going to be miserable. In fact, many times we believe it's our problems that are making us unhappy when, in reality, it's because we're focused on ourselves!" - Joyce Meyer
2) "Our lives get infinitely easier the moment we stop trying to impress other people." - Anonymous
3) "Don't ever change just to impress and please someone. Change because it makes you a better person and it leads you to a better future." - Anonymous
4) "You ought to spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress and please people." - Unknown
5) "Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress. Don't strive to make your presence noticed just make your absence felt." - Anonymous
“If you think being a leader is to impress people — your wrong! Impress people with your character, decisiveness, and calculated actions!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
