Good Saturday morning, COL Mikel J. Burroughs from the beautiful blue skies of Greater Boston with a nice morning breeze... Great Saturday topic, Mike! I'm finishing breakfast, so will pickup where I'm leaving off... And I am back, off and running!!! “Universe Day!” Why Not?
My quote:
"Remember that the Universe was created by God with all its splendor and majesty... We, (yes we), humans are made of the same atomic particles as when God created the universe... It's vastness is indicative of what God is able to create and do...Be not afraid of it, envelope it as we begin to spread our wings in space and explore." Kerry Harkins May 16, 2020.
A. "Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves." - Carl Sagan
B."The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience..... To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." - Carl Sagan

I expect that you that are aware that the universe is part of creation and it will be completely destroyed by fire at the end of this age along with the rest of this creation along with the cumulative hopes, dreams and fears of all human beings Kerry.
I pray that you and I are increasingly demonstrating faith in the LORD by treating each person we interact with respectfully and we would appreciate being treated. I pray that HE blesses each of us with an increase of the fruit of the Spirit; compassion, goodness, patience and self-control, my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
I pray that each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters are increasingly focused on giving sacrificially of our time, talents, and resources as YOU guide us dear LORD. I pray that when we awake, we praise and thank YOU Holy Spirit and that YOU make it clear to each one what our focus should be as get up.
I pray that YOU give us ears to hear YOU and improve our listening skills and patience as assist those we are obligated to help as well as those YOU bring across our path physically or more likely as YOU lead us to pray and intercede for.
I lift the medical and pharmaceutical researchers and their managers and supervisors to YOU dear LORD. I pray that YOU are guiding and leading them towards effective treatment and safe and effective vaccines. I pray that YOU bless those at the helm of Operation Warp Speed namely General Gustave Perna of the U.S. Army Materiel Command and pharmaceutical executive Moncef Slaoui with wisdom and motivational authority to guide and encourage the vaccination processes and treatment regimens to succeed so that before winter 2020 we will be able to vaccinate people against COVID-19.
I thank YOU LORD for YOUR Word as YOU fulfill YOUR promises to each one YOUR elected sons and daughters in YOUR perfect time as the Holy Spirit increase fruit exactly as and when needed. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires." [Galatians 5:22-24 English Standard Version (ESV)]"
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 Burroughs!
Excellent motivation for today!
Last night POTUS revealed the US Space Force flag. Today, the Black Knights are ‘flying over’ Pinehurst and Rockingham Speedway.
And my motivation:
“the unexamined life is not worth living” - Socrates
Happy Saturday! Hope You and Bella have a Wonderful Weekend Sir!
