COL Mikel J. Burroughs here is video share to go along with the read/share my friend.
When Alice Cooper hit the rock music scene in the 1970's, teens flocked to his concerts and parents wrung their hands and tossed out his records. This "Godfather of Shock Rock" was known for his horror-like stage shows featuring guillotines, fake blood, and boa constrictors. But as Life Focus discovered, there's more to the world's most "beloved heavy metal entertainer" than meets the concertgoer. Alice Cooper is a man of wit and wisdom on his own journey of faith, determined to make a positive difference in the world.

I expect that you realize that God has a wonderful sense of humor and that since our soul is created in HIS image, we too have an innate capability for humor Joe.
I pray that you and I have a great sense of humor and that we are blessed with wisdom, joy and laughter in the face of danger, my brother-in-Christ SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
Thank YOU, dear God for YOUR written Word filled with truth. I am grateful that YOU Holy Spirit inspired the humans who wrote the books of the Bible and that YOU placed humor within the accounts. Our LORD Jesus the Christ demonstrated insightful wit as HE interacted with the scribes and the Pharisees and YOUR Word record HIS rejoicing.
I lift those struggling tonight with afflictions, homelessness, loneliness, imprisoned in jails or the labyrinths of their tormented minds to YOU dear God. Enable each one of us to look outside of ourselves and focus on helping others by actions or simply being a good listener. Restore hope, good humor and selflessness to each one of us and enable each one of us to rejoice in YOU.
I lift widows, widowers, orphans, divorcees, runaways and others who desperately seek love and friendship to YOU. YOU stated that YOU are husband to widows and YOU are the Father to the orphans and fatherless, I pray dear God that lead many runaways to a safe place and many back home, when that is a safe place. I pray for a renewed courage for each widow, widower and divorcee and that YOU instill hope and a good sense of humor to each one. Bless each one YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are widows, widowers and divorcees with by answering yes to their earnest prayers.
I lift each adopted son and daughter of YOURs and their family members to YOU. I pray that YOU bless each one of us with an increase in a sense of humor and wisdom to laugh with others and never at them or any group they represent or are associated with.
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.

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 THEIR EAGLES-NEST. I know the view must be MAGNIFICENT on this day February 13, 2020 as you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of March. 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 sometime on during my break to respond, while I am at the job.
Today's theme is "wit day"
The picture depicts my inner-thought my friend:
