Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the Sunny skies of SW Florida... I just started my IT job, and there are some issues, so I will be on and off RP today, but at least for awhile, off... My response to day will be somewhat piecemeal and for that I apologize in advance...
It is: “Reputation Day!” Why Not?
"Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip." - Will Rogers
"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do." - Henry Ford
"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." - Abraham Lincoln
"We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - John Wooden
It is wise to note that...

The Change In Me - Casting Crowns - Lyric Video
Video for the song "The Change In Me" by Casting Crowns. From the album "Only Jesus".
I hope that you are spiritually mature enough to recognize that character is enduring and worthy of improving while reputation has much in common with gossip. I expect that your humility does you honor and your character is above reproach. No doubt you are a pillar in your family. ‘Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.’ [Romans 12:10-11 ESV] my brother-in-Christ Sgt (Join to see).
I pray for discernment for parents, grandparents, guardians, developers of school curriculums including home school, and counselors. I pray for wisdom for parents and guardians as they evaluate the educational choices for their children. I pray for an increased focus on logic as a foundational subject in education as well as instruction on reasoning and the application of the scientific method [a researcher develops a hypothesis, tests it through various means, and then modifies the hypothesis on the basis of the outcome of the tests and experiments]. 'And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God'. [Philippians 1:9-11 ESV]
I pray for an increase of self-control, compassion and goodness for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters who reads or hears this prayer LORD. I thank you for purifying our character through sanctification of the soul of each of us dear LORD. ‘For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. [2 Peter 1:5-8 ESV]
I lift honorable, humble and principled government, military, business, & industry leaders, administrators and managers to YOU LORD. I am thankful for their principled character, their focus on justice for all and their respect for each person. You raise up and YOU bring down the seemingly-mighty for blessing or judgement on nations in YOUR perfect timing. I pray that YOU reward those who seek YOUR wisdom to lead with wisdom. ‘For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up, but it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another.’ [Psalm 75:6-7 ESV]
As far as leaders, administrators and managers who are focused on polling data to form their stances; agents to groom their reputation, and sycophants to applaud their every move and decision, I pray YOU allow their plans to dissolve and fail to achieve their fickle goals. “Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your wise sayings, while you searched out what to say. I gave you my attention, and, behold, there was none among you who refuted Job or who answered his words. Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not a man.’ He has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your speeches. [Job 32:11-14 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Tuesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse. We have another beautiful (but chilly) day in the National Capital Region.
Too many people are concerned with how they appear to others rather than who they really are. I think social media has made this problem much worse. We constantly see "massaged images" "created stories" "nonexistent events" that seem to be real but aren't. If you want a reputation worth having, then work to build your character, then you will be that picture of who you want others to see, not just an empty image.
