Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have come to realize that it is in my best interest to daily pursue a closer relationship with Jesus, my Lord and Savior. If it were not for Grace and Mercy of God and Jesus His Son, my issues with cancer and heart attack would have overtaken my own strength to survive. I truly believe this applies to everyone. Have a blessed day today and always.

Happy Anniversary Jack! As Chief of Anesthesia Services there were some requests (read orders) from higher, that I had no interest in complying with; they were already covered, just not how they wanted it.

Even though I had no interest in the task, I did comply, since it was in my best interest to do so.

It's hard to imagine accomplishing anything if you have absolutely no interest in what you're doing or those doing it!
