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 January 13, 2021. As you might glance upon the mighty snow capped mountains headed into the month of February. 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 some time on the weekend before I start my running around to respond my friend.

Great point in that quote fot today's message SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - perfect my friend...
“I know some of you don’t own a Harley or a motorcycle and some of you do, but what a way to weather life’s storms with your significant other holding on tight as you truck down the road of life. May you find your own way, as you grow older, to have that support to weather life’s storms, whatever it may be; a friend, a spouse, your family, a support pet, and ‘yes’ even RallyPoint and your new online connections and friends. May you have that attitude that growing old just brings back great memories and allows your wisdom to shine through; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy as we all grow older. You’re only as old as you feel or have set in your mind. ‘How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?’ — Satchel Paige.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I expect that your spiritual maturity is at least equivalent to your age/physical maturity and that the LORD has blessed you with a large measure of wisdom. I hope that you share your knowledge and wisdom with people who are interested to learn from you. ‘Older men are to be temperate, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and perseverance ‘encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good.’ [Titus 1:2, 6 ESV], my brother-in-Christ CWO3 Dave Alcantara.
I lift leaders of nations, corporations, military units, tribes, families, and informal groups to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU empower leaders who are YOUR adopted sons and daughters with wisdom. Give each of us endurance to do good and help us resist doing, saying evil or dwelling on evil thoughts or imaginations. 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. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.‘ [Philippians 4:8-9 ESV].
I pray for a significant increase of respect for each person we interact with throughout the USA, Mexico, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Israel, India, Korea, Philippines, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. I pray that the younger show respect for the older and the older show respect to the younger. ‘You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the LORD.’ [Leviticus 19:32 ESV]
I pray for an increase of peace throughout the body of Christ. I pray that peace will spread from believers to unbelievers who are our neighbors. Let YOU love penetrate and cleanse each of us and emanate from our soul to the souls of others. I pray that each one of us is able to be reasonable in all areas of personal interaction. ‘Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 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 4:5-7 ESV]
I lift the US House of Representatives and U.S. Senators to YOU and pray they will turn towards reasonable approaches to solve the major issues facing this nation. I pray that YOUR adopted sons and daughters who are members of Congress and their staff members will find common cause and work to reduce divisions. Empower them to influence others to forge well-reasoned approaches and legislation.
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Wednesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Thursday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
