Good R.E.D. Friday morning Burroughs' Posse Leader from the Greater Boston Area where it is 58° with 72% humidity and winds NW 3 mph... Looks like a cool one today...
Just finished breakfast and heading to the shower... More follows shortly... I am back...
"Wired Day" Why Not?
1) "Every brain is wired differently from every other brain, and learns in ways unique to that wiring." - John Medina
2) "The newborn infant is now seen to be wired with awesome precision... This marvelous robot will be launched into the world under the care of its parents... But to what extent does the wiring of the neurons, so undeniably encoded in the genes, preordain the directions that social development will follow?" - E. O. Wilson
3) "I think it's in our nature to try to get beyond that next horizon. I think that when we, as a species, are scratching that itch, we're actually following an evolutionary compulsion that is wired into us. I think good things come of it." - Ron Howard
4) "If you see voters as rational, you'll be a terrible politician. People are not wired to be rational. Our brains simply evolved to keep us alive. Brains did not evolve to give us truth. Brains merely give us movies in our minds that keeps us sane and motivated. But none of it is rational or true, except maybe sometimes by coincidence." - Scott Adams
5) "We think scientific literacy flows out of how many science facts can you recite rather than how was your brain wired for thinking. And it's the brain wiring that I'm more interested in rather than the facts that come out of the curriculum or the lesson plan that's been proposed." - Neil deGrasse Tyson
The operative word in most all of the quotes today deal with the fact that we are all "different", but even though different, we have commonalities... However, note that...
“Leaders are wired differently and will see things differently — some adapt to the changing demands faster than others, some are task-focused, and some are team builders. How are you wired as a leader?”— COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Excellent selection of quotes. A person more wiser than I can ever hope to be once stated that we are all born with all the knowledge that has ever existed... The argument that he presented afterwards remains irrefutable. He was one of those individuals who made his listeners think.

I expect that you consider yourself to be wired well in terms of leadership capability, love of family, and your thoughts. Since the Holy Spirit is sanctifying your soul, your mind is periodically transformed and renewed by God’s grace. Our mind is the area the enemy is focused on disrupting. The Helmet of salvation is a biblical metaphor with actual spiritual application. God is the biblical strongman after all and HE provides and sustains boundaries. When our thoughts become troubled, I recommend ‘Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. [Philippians 4:6-9 ESV] my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
I lift those at death’s doorway, those with spinal injuries, other nervous system and brain related illnesses and diseases including those suffering from mental injuries/disease, as well as strokes and others whose wiring seems to be problematic TBI to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU comfort each one of these individuals and their family members who are YOUR adopted sons and daughters. I pray that YOU gently ‘rewire’ the nervous system of each one of us and restore as much functionality as we can bear. 'And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.’ [Romans 8:28 ESV]
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters are demonstrating love to our neighbors. I pray that the vast majority of neighborhoods in this nation, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, the Philippines, India, and India are peaceful and have good relations between the citizens and those responsible for policing and public safety. 'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.’ [Matthew 22:36-38 ESV.]
LORD I thank You for the good and bad in this nation including relative peace in the vast majority of areas and the SARS-CoV-2 virus which like SARS-CoV originated in China. YOU work all to good. 'Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.' [1 Thessalonians 5:16-22 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Friday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Saturday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

Good morning Col Burroughs and RED Friday until they are all home safetly. Prayers today for our President and his wife who have been diagnosed with COVID.
We all want to love and be loved. That's the way that humans are wired. We respond instinctively to those who reach out to us. That's one of the reasons this quarantine has been so detrimental to people's mental health; studies demonstrate that most of us need not just emotional connection but social and physical connection as well. The more isolated we are the more difficult this becomes. I find that my volunteer work helps keep me connected and in a positive frame of mind while I wait for the lifting of restrictions.

Oh so right, God wired us from the get go.
Accept, and say the Serenity prayer:
God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
The Courage to change the things I can; and
The Wisdom to know the difference.

Thanks for the beautiful sentiments in Dr. Reble's observation. In echoing the sentiments of Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain), Why has there been so much hate in mankind's history?

"Everyone is wired differently, and we need to realize that about each other, other different cultures, upbringings, experiences, leadership styles, dreams, and goals. No two people are wired the same. Then we have our veterans with service-related Invisible Disabilities (PTSD, TBI, MST, etc...) because of trauma they are wired differently as well, and we should all keep that in mind on this forum. May you recognize that you're wired differently and your perspective on issue and things will be different; may we always be respectful of each other based on our wiring diagrams; may you always project a positive attitude towards one another; may you keep yourself in tip top condition; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Have a great "R.E.D. Friday" as we "Remember Everyone Deployed" until they return home once again! Everyone is wired differently!" - COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
