I think the Statue for this whole virus-stay-at-home thing should be The Tinkerer, because that's sums-up what many of us and others as well are doing to keep ourselves pre-occupied; "Tinkering-Around the Homestead".

I expect you realize that the capability to think is a communicable attribute of God. There is absolute power in God’s perfect thoughts which are infinitely higher than our thoughts. Yet HE condescends to fellowship with each of us and HE respects our thought process and encourages and admonishes us to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ John.
I pray that you and I put all of our faith in the LORD and HIS Word and that we submit our mind to the LORD and seek HIS power to take our every thought captive to obedience to the LORD, my brother-in-Christ SFC John Lich.
I lift parents, teachers, and grandparents as well as schoolchildren to YOU LORD. I pray that parents and teachers work together to instruct schoolchildren in logic, reasoning and how to form logical arguments while the schoolchildren are quarantined.
I pray that YOU bless each pharmaceutical and therapy researcher and medical staff member with wisdom as they develop treatment protocols for the COVID-19 infected and methods to prevent infection among those on the front lines of this infection.
I pray that YOU comfort and heal the majority of the surviving COVID-19 infected people in New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, New Orleans, Seattle, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Manilla, Bombay, New Delhi, London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and the surrounding areas. I pray that treatment for COVID 19 is becoming more effective and most of the serious ill have been brought down to moderate to light infection or else healed completely.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Wednesday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Aretha Franklin - Think [1968] (Original Version)
Aretha Franklin - Think / Song written by Aretha Franklin & Ted White / Album: Aretha Now (1968)
Good Wednesday, April 8, 2020 morning my thoughtful friend COL Mikel J. Burroughs.
1. Thinking Day brings-to-mind - pun intended - many concepts and quotes memorized in the distant past as well as scripture stored in my soul by the Holy Spirit.
2. Every parent innately understands that infants are born selfish through-and-through :-)
a. Children need to be taught how to obey, to be kind, to share, to clean themselves, to clean up after themselves, play nicely, etc. Their inclination is the opposite :-)
2 Corinthians 10:3-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete."
Proverbs 23: 1-8 NASB
"When you sit down to dine with a ruler, consider carefully what is before you, nd put a knife to your throat if you are a man of great appetite.
Do not desire his delicacies, for it is deceptive food.
Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, cease from your consideration of it.
When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.
Do not eat the bread of a selfish man, or desire his delicacies;
For as he thinks within himself, so he is. He says to you, “Eat and drink!” But his heart is not with you. You will vomit up the morsel you have eaten, and waste your compliments."
Matthew 7:12 NASB 'In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.'
Quotes I appreciate
1. Rene Descartes 'I Think Therefore I Am'
2. B. Rivers 'When I was thinking of you I realized all the positive influences you had on my life, thank you.'
3. Sam Crow 'When I think of you, I think of kindness, wisdom and love. Thanks for being you.'
4. James Keller 'A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.'
I lift parents, teachers, and grandparents as well as schoolchildren to YOU LORD. I pray that parents and teachers work together to instruct schoolchildren in logic, reasoning and how to form logical arguments while the schoolchildren are quarantined.
I pray that YOU bless each pharmaceutical and therapy researcher and medical staff member with wisdom as they develop treatment protocols for the COVID-19 infected and methods to prevent infection among those on the front lines of this infection.
