Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs Your vacation looks amazing and thanks for inviting us along virtually!
Life as adventure. It takes on a whole different perspective when you look at it that way. Not as duty, or have to, but as a place to explore, learn and experience right up until we leave it for yet another adventure that we cannot even conceive of.

LTC Stephen F.
I expect that you have had many adventures in your life in childhood, teenage years and as an adult in the military you had many adventures including a few that were terrifying and life changing Charlie.
I pray that you and I take our spouse, friends and children and perhaps grandchildren on local adventures including imaginary individuals and situations to help expand their minds; my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Thank YOU, dear God for playful and educational imagination. Thank YOU for blessing individuals with wisdom to design tools, equipment, buildings, machinery, wells, plains, trains, automobiles and vessels. Thank YOU Lord God for blessing any people with wisdom and selfless dedication to develop treatment for diseases and injuries from developing medicine such as aspirin, quinine, acetomenaphin, antibiotics, and immunizations [including identifying dangerous symptoms as warnings]; inventions such X-Ray machines and later CT SCAN and MRI, heart-lung machines, artificial joints for knees and elbows; prosthetic limbs and so much more.
I pray for Christian missionaries outside this nation. I pray that YOU work through the missionaries to bring many of YOUR elect into the Kingdom of God. YOU have made it clear in YOUR Word that the Body of Christ will include members of every tribe, nation and language.
LORD, I lift children who have been physically, emotionally, and sexually abused up to YOU as well as those who were sold by their parents/guardians or more often kidnapped to brothels focused on supplying sexual tourists who lust for very young boys and girls.
I lift the children of missionaries who are stationed outside this nation for lengthy periods of time to YOU. I pray that YOU bless these children with trust in YOU and their parents and YOU use them to befriend children on the mission field which hopefully will establish a life-long friend or two for each child. I pray that YOU protect them from kidnappers.
I pray that the U.S. Senate will have wisdom to evaluate the evidence submitted by the House of Representatives for impeaching President Trump. I pray they will vote wisely on all motions and amendments.
If external witnesses are allowed in the U.S. Senate trial for impeachment, I pray that former VPOTUS Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden will be subpoenaed and that Ukraine officials will be able to testify as well about Burisma, and the Bidens.
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.

I'm not asking that everyone move here, but my life in Montana is an adventure! Everyday is a new one and the serenity and peace that go along with it are unbeatable, for this old timer. Waking up every morning is my priority.

SFC Richard Williamson - My 2 oldest daughters born and raised California girls. One now lives in Colorado, the other in the far northwest corner of Montana. Tease em both as to what they think of going from having to drive 2 hours to snow versus getting several feet dumped on you overnite. They seem to like it. Time for the old man to take a road trip!

Where in Montana, Libby? If you like the outdoors and wildlife, you'll love it here, unless the big cities and traffic congestion are your thing.
