Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs and hopefully you are having a good weekend. Education is an interesting topic. I will attempt to stay out of the political discussion and keep to the . practical and philosophical. An education, once achieved is something that no one can take away from you. I am a voracious reader as is my spouse. I find it not just entertaining but a way to find out facts and information I need for daily life. Once you "learn to learn" there is no stopping you. The local librarians know me; if I miss a week, they remark on it. Learning is exercise for your brain; when you stop your thoughts get lazy just like your body does when you don't work out. But like exercise for your body you should vary what you read/learn so that you are as well "rounded" intellecturally as you are physically fit.

PO1 H Gene Lawrence - I agree. The problem is that the liberals saw this before we did and loaded the education system. Now we have educated ignorant people

Lt Col Charlie Brown - if you can believe it, the current Governor, Jay Inslee is even worse! It appears that the Democrats love every tax they impose on us because somehow they insulated themselves from their affect on themselves, like giving themselves a pay raise in secret session at night, behind closed doors.

I expect that you realize you learned most of what have at a very young age. Of course, your experience helped to hone that education and experience expanded our learning. By God’s grace HE is the author of all Charlie.
I pray that you and I have common sense, that we are willing to be educated by the LORD, and that we are willing to share what we have learned with humility and grace, my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Thank YOU, dear God for YOUR Living WORD which educates each of us as it illuminates our condition of our soul and the issues we face throughout our life. Thank YOU for blessing parents with wisdom and eyes to see how each child learns best.
I pray that each parent is committed and involved in the formal education of their children. I pray for courage of conviction for each parent to stand up for what they believe to best educate each child of theirs
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters understands logic, can apply logic to decisions and is able to educate those family members and friends who don’t understand logic.
I pray for wisdom for the individuals who train military personnel, fire and rescue personnel, security and police force personnel.
I pray that each one of us is open to being educated throughout our lifetime. I pray for wisdom, discernment and insight to evaluate educational courses, propositions and teachings.
I pray for wisdom those researchers and medical professionals who are developing vaccinations to prevent Coronavirus infection as well as those who are focused on improving treatment for those infected.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Sunday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

SGT John Graham
That little tid bit of information often makes a huge difference in life. My problem now is that as a, ahem, senior (ish) citizen is remembering. One important thing I learned is discernment. Is it important, doe's it need immediate action, will it benefit others too, is it the right thing to do ?
