The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


“You Know What Day It Is – Go Ahead & Say It!”


Good “Wednesday & Hump Day!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 12 April 2023!

Today’s Message is: “Step Up Day!” Why Not?

“Effective leaders ‘Step Up!’ by being present, they share their purpose, and the vision. They set an example, listen before they speak, and then “Step Back!’ and allow others to take ownership and accountability of the vision. Leaders use empowerment and wisdom to lead from a distance. They create new leaders and then ‘Step Away!’ Are you a leader that will improve performance and ‘Step Up!’ your game?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. When God calls, it is my fervent desire to step up and say “Send me, send me.” when we step up to serve our Creator, we are looking to our eternity with Him. Have a blessed day today and always.

It my pleasure to be able to drop by. Thank you for the comment on my response. I have been disappointed in having to have more surgery, but even more so for the fact that two times in a row the surgery was put off to the next day. Tomorrow April 14th, I will have the preeminent hip replacement surgeon doing the surgery. It will involve a complete hip removal involving a completely new hip procedure. I understand it to benefit my rehab and get me home sooner. Blessings.

I really need to thank the military for teaching me the concept of stepping up. Going back to my Vietnam days, you may be assigned as #3 in a 3 ship B-52 cell because your crew is new in theater. However due to maintenance and other things, find yourself as lead on a bombing mission. The key is to train yourselves to always be ready to step up because you never know when it may happen.
