Good “Wednesday & Hump Day!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 9 February 2022!
Today’s Message is: “Poise Day!” Why Not?
“How many times as a leader have you heard ‘Poise Under Pressure?’ When a leader has balance, composure, and strong bearing in the face of obstacles they have poise. When the 'Fit is about to hit the Shan!’ take a deep breath, give yourself a pep talk, and check your emotions at the door. Remember you’re fine, you’re okay, and you’ve got this!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Poise is a difficult gift for some and yet others display it so easily. Why is that? I think that I found an answer, in a rather strange place for me. I have never really understood or even really tried to get to know the source of the below link, but I found it to be very much in agreement with my understanding of the nature of God. I hope that you enjoyed and embrace the concept that is contained therein. Have a Poised and blessed day today and always.
