Good morning Col Burroughs and all my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Another great topic, Col Burroughs. When we look at leaders we expect to see developed skills. This is applicable across most if not all trades or professions, both physically and spiritually. We must all start somewhere to begin to develop those needed and desired skills. In a spiritual direction, I have found something that is very worthwhile to read. It can certainly apply to any and all skills of leadership. May you be blessed today and always, as you read it.

I'll be outside honing my pressure washing skills this morning. Experience has shown me that while a crepe myrtle tree is beautiful, planting it near the driveway may have been a mistake.

Not always Colonel. I usually get up fairly early, but I get up really early on days I hunt. On hunting days I don't check my emails until later in the day. Have a great day.
