I expect that you are idealistic for this new year 2020 and that your ideals are both realistic and worthy of emulation your ideals, your behavior, and your interactions Mark.
I pray that you and I are demonstrating honorable ideals consistently in our public and private behavior and social interactions with friends and strangers, my friend and brother-in-Christ SP5 Mark Kuzinski.
LORD God, I am thankful for YOUR Word and the blessing that YOU store YOUR Word in the soul of each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters. By YOUR grace YOU draw out YOUR Word from our soul to bless others and sometimes ourselves.
I lift the most vulnerable people and families in this nation and pray that YOU protect each this winter.
I pray that families throughout this nation are educating their children and grandchildren about ideals and discussing ideals with respect for each member of the family. Let grace prevail in families across this nation. Bless parents and children with wisdom and knowledge.
I lift those who stand at intersections and request money. Do what needs to be done to dissuade those who are falsely attempting to scam money from passersby.
I pray that YOU restore the ideals of the founders of this nation into the elected congress members, the executive branch secretaries and office of the president and especially in the federal judiciary judges.
I pray that YOU do what needs to be done to convict the U.S. House of representative’s members who are corrupt and deceitful and that YOU shed light on all that needs to be brought to light.
I pray LORD that YOU are opening the eyes of sincere believers to pray for justice to triumph in ideals.
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.

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 MOUNTAINS OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO AMONG THIER EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICIENT on this day 3 January 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of February. 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 during the week to respond this "RED-FRIDAY".
