Good RED Friday COL Mikel J. Burroughs Currently at 20 degrees in Northern VA. What you feed and water or what you reinforce is what flourishes. We are like every other living thing, we learn to live on what we have available to us; feed our spirit and we are generous, feed our greed and the result is to be expected. Organizations too are this way. I've seen squadrons led by selfish, self centered people and the results are not good...a squadron, a business, needs to be fed well to flourish.

I expect that you are flourishing in many aspects and areas of your life and will flourish in more as 2020 unfolds Charlie.
I pray that you are becoming more transparent and that the light and love of Christ emanate freely from us, my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
LORD I thank YOU that YOU are sanctifying each of YOUR adopted children. Thank YOU for purging us of all that is impure. I pray that YOU rid us of all impurities for YOUR light to shine forth through our eyes and soul to each person who responds to YOUR spirit.
I pray that YOU release love, compassion, peace and joy across this land dear God. Do all that it takes to enable stagnant homes and neighborhoods to flourish with abundant life in 2020.
I pray for the homeless families, the suicidal, the despondent, the raging and the hopeless this evening. Enable each one to thrive by daybreak and empower them to flourish in 2020.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Friday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good R.E.D. Friday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs!!! I'm still in the rack, so don't even know what it's like out yet!!! More shortly! Well, here is more! LOL! We all should be Flourishing on these days before Christmas... I am going to dive right in and see what some others think about “Flourishing Day!” Why Not? Here are some quotes that I find meaningful:
1) "Creative ideas flourish best in a shop which preserves some spirit of fun. Nobody is in business for fun, but that does not mean there cannot be fun in business." - Leo Burnett
2) "The wisdom and experience of older people is a resource of inestimable worth. Recognizing and treasuring the contributions of older people is essential to the long-term flourishing of any society."
- Daisaku Ikeda
3) "Our souls cannot be forced to grow, but like flowers, our spiritual selves can be nurtured until they blossom and flourish." - James Van Praagh
4) "If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, then let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it. Perhaps this is what Thoreau had in mind when he said, “the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think the same is true of human beings.
- David Sobel
5) "Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible - the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family." - Virginia Satir
"A flourishing positive outlook in your life will rub off on everyone you come into contact with – spread the positive vibes!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Colonel and everyone at Rally Point. It take two or more people to built a relationship and so does flourishing. It is not a lone task but and effort by a group.
I have been away from H.Q. in Yuma for the past week and in and out during that time. I have been remiss in my postings and answering many posts. For that I apologize. I am finally through with the project I was working on and my portion is now complete, all paperwork submitted and employees paid all before the Christmas Holiday.
I and my wife, Lory, want to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and a God filled New Year. May the blessings of our Risen Savior be with you all and peace reign upon your house.

LTC Stephen F. - I am flourishing in my Secular Franciscan life because of God's direction in my life as to what He wants me to do. I hope you are well Brother Stephen and I sincerely apologize for not at least acknowledging your posts. When I get socked hard with work, mission comes first then everything else follows except my prayer life, Have an exceptionally great weekend and be safe my friend. You are in my prayers.
