Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from a cold, rainy Northern Virginia. I love the topic. We are seeing this in action right now. Americans are think outside the box folks; we look for ways to do things if we are allowed to do so. Businesses are pivoting quickly to provide what is needed right now: masks, gowns, sanitizer, tests, and now ventilators. In some places, no one would even try any of that without direction and by the time they did, it would be too late to be useful. We are only as limited as we think we are.
I am working on a project for the Red Cross that is outside the usual for them and we were asked to get it done within two weeks (these usually take almost a year for new projects) and we will be ready to test run next week. I am pleased and proud to be a part of the effort. In addition, I am going to join a number of my volunteer buddies and begin helping out at some of the local blood drives. No limits to what we can do if we try!

I expect you have achieved much in your lifetime on your own and as part of a team including your family. I believe that you have exceeded expectations at times Charlie.
I pray that most of what you and I attempt to achieve brings glory to God through selfless service and joyful sharing of the time, labor, and resources, my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I lift those people struggling to maintain composure while staying inside and those who are homeless who long to have a safe and secure home to YOU. I pray for an increase of peace and calm inside homes and that love will abound and violence of thoughts, words and actions is abating this night. LORD I pray YOU are opening doors for the homeless families to gain safe and secure homes by Easter 2020.
I pray for peace in the streets of this nation, Canada, Mexico, India, Australia, the Philippines, Europe, Central and South America. I pray for protection of Asians in this nation and every other vulnerable group of people in this risk of COVID-19 season.
I lift school children, technical school, college and university students, the teachers, instructors, counselors and professors to YOU. I pray that YOU motivate each group and provide wisdom and endurance to each to ensure that education is progressing, and students are excelling remotely in this season of voluntary quarantine.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Saturday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good “Saturday” Morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from a bright sunny Fort Myers where we have a current temp of 76° and headed up between 88° and 90°... Nice, but we, like others, are cooped up... Today is: “Don’t Limit Yourself Day!” Why Not?
1) "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
2) "Do just once what others say you can't do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again." - -James Cook
3) "The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau
4) "If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise." - Robert Fritz
5) "The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent." - Arnold Schwarzenegger
6) "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." - Thomas Jefferson
“When you place a limit on yourself you miss out on what the next big thing could or should have been!”— COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
