Good Thursday morning Col Burroughs and the Posse. One of the things that has served me well over the years is my imagination. I use it to envision my future; to help me work out solutions to problems and ways around obstacles. It is an underrated, underused tool in a leader's tool box. I've used it to "escape" from unpleasant situations as well. Life would be so much less without it.

Lt Col Charlie Brown
Cpl Vic Burk - I do understand about the worry piece. I was a school counselor and right now I am grateful that I am not trying to get students ready for graduation. The virtual environment makes it tough to keep a handle on things and make sure everyone really knows what is going on. Then there is the sorting out of the tech issues versus the material issues...do they know it well enough and just can't answer fast enough virtually or do they not know it?

Lt Col Charlie Brown - I love my job even though it can be frustrating at times but it has its rewards. One came this morning from a student I had two years ago. She came to see me (she does regularly in the mornings before school with a question or two about one of her math problems) with a question that took me by total surprise and a first for me. Her father asked her to ask me if I would present her with her diploma on the stage the day she graduates from high school because I have been such a big influence in her life. What an honor! She was the top student in the class and of all students I had that semester. I could make more as a mathematician working for an outside company but it would never have the gratification I get from teaching. OK, I will end my rant now!

I expect that your imagination has and will be a great asset for you, those you love, and those you have worked with and may still be working with. No doubt you have blessed many with your ideas and dreams. Memory is a blessing which some take for granted. I expect that you are thankful for your own memory and specific memories, my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I pray for an increase of the fruit of the Spirit peace throughout the body of Christ in the USA, Mexico, Canada, central and south America, Africa, Europe, Israel, India, Philippines, South Korea, Japan and China. I pray that YOUR love will cleanse each of us and shine through us to our neighbors and even strangers. I pray for an increase of peace in neighborhoods. 'do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.' [Philippians 4:6-7 ESV]
Thank YOU, LORD for blessing us with the written word of God and storing it in the soul of each of us as we read YOUR Word, listen to preaching/teaching, and YOU speak to us individually. YOUR Word is living and sharper than a double-edged sword. YOUR Word is a journal from YOU to each of us which includes love letters, admonitions, warnings and blessings. Each time we read or listen to YOU we learn much more and gain better understanding of applications of YOUR specific words. 'For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.’ [Hebrews 4:12-13 ESV]
YOU created the soul of each of us in YOUR image. YOUR Word creates ex-nihilo. You created us to imagine and become creative to bless others. YOU are the source of all wisdom. I pray for wisdom for each person who reads this prayer. I pray that YOU bless us with insight to solve the issue confronting us individually and corporately.
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Thursday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Friday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

Roger that CW5 Jack Cardwell...
“Imagination is so important to the invention of new technology, concepts, and our ability to expand our knowledge and bandwidth between our ears. May you never stop using your imagination to expand our own horizons and create a better future. Imagination is a healthy part of our being. Embrace it and bring it out through your leadership. May you always maintain a positive imagination, along with a very positive attitude; may you continue stay in the best possible condition to keep your imagination lively and healthy; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Remember what it was like to be very young and all those things you imagine and then think about the ones that came to fruition. Be that leader today and tomorrow that opens up a creating culture among others.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
