“Effective leaders don’t make promises they can’t keep. They work hard to deliver the best results and leadership, but they don’t promise that everything will be on point.

Good Tuesday afternoon Colonel. I have made and kept 2 supreme promises in my lifetime. The first was almost 49 years ago when I said my wedding vows; the second was on Nov 18, 1978, when I took my officer oath of office.

Good leaders always know their capabilities and weaknesses and operate within those constraints. That doesn't mean they won't press the boundaries of the box, just that when they say they're going to do something they know they can.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I have found in my life that I could always trust in the Promises of God. I have only been able to deal with the issues that been thrown at me. I only hope that I can do the same for others whenever possible. Have a blessed day today and always.

What are the promises of God?


ANSWER There are many, many promises of God in Scripture. In each promise, God pledges that something will (or will not) be done or given or come to pass. These are not flippant, casual promises such as we often make; these promises of God are rock-solid, unequivocal commitments…

Thank you Mikel, I did indeed. God has promised He would help us. We only have to truly be. They really worked me over today. I hurt horribly but I am getting stronger but still have a long way to go, my friend. Have a blessed rest of your day brother.
