I expect you realize that the best ‘stuff’ awaits us in heaven, and ‘it’ is beyond our wildest imagination and it will be fulfilled increasingly forever and ever throughout eternity with the LORD Marty.
I pray that you and I fully trust the LORD, HIS written Word, and quickly respond to HIS prompting during this COVID-19 infection risk and that we do our best to communicate with our neighbors at safe distances, my brother-in-Christ Maj Marty Hogan.
I lift the widows, widowers, recent divorcees, single apartment renter and other involuntary alone people to YOU LORD. YOU revealed in YOUR Word that YOU are Husband to the widow and Father to the fatherless. LORD I pray that YOU bless each one who is involuntary alone with hope, joy, peace and an abiding sense of YOUR love for each one of these people.
I pray LORD that YOU pour out YOUR love and grace to the people of this nation as well as India and south and southeast Asia, Central and south America, Mexico, Canada, Europe, Africa, Australia, Japan and Korea. Let YOUR light and love shine through each one of YOUR adopted children to bless the neighbors, friends and strangers with hope and a fuller sense of meaningful community.
I lift school children, technical school, college and university students to YOU. I pray that YOU motivate each student to do more than is required as they interact remotely with their teachers/instructors and other students in this season of voluntary quarantine.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Thursday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs We cannot always choose what happens but we can choose how we react to it. That from a man who lived through a Nazi death camp. What we are facing now, here, is so little compared to what others face, I am sometimes embaressed by what we have and yet how we complain and find fault. I try to find the positive in whatever is going on or whatever situation I find myself in. Right now I am grateful for my life, my spouse, 24 hour entertainment, Rally Point, military buddies who will listen, my family who checks in, the opportunity to volunteer...and the list goes on. I've started in on my pile of books I will get to some day, sent letters to friends who are not on the internet, done so many things I would have done if I had time...so now I do. What good things are you seeing?

CPO John Bjorge
Like we said on the Flight Deck, "KEEP YOUR HEAD ON A SWIVEL" so life will not pass you by or things wont kill you. Since learning this I watch more now and see a lot more now. Gave hugs to family you live with and REMOTE HUGS to everyone else.

And God Bless us all.

Maj Marty Hogan - Good afternoon, to you, sir. We will be fine, or we won't. Our job is to hold the course to either end.
