I can be awfully dark when you close the shades. Open them up and let the sun shine in!
Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. The word function can take us in many directions. One direction I would like y’all to explore is what if we take the word “If” out of our thoughts when we think about having God answer our prayers. By that I mean the if you grant my prayer, I will do such and such. That is just on example, with more below in the article I have submitted. I found this article very stimulating, in the way we should approach God in prayer. I pray y’all find it interesting as well. Have a blessed day today and always.

“What If” Posted: November 4, 2010 in…
Good Saturday afternoon Colonel.
I like the parachute analogy but except for those who think jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is fun they only are used in an emergency. A good leader needs to have their mind open at all times in order to be effective.
