As a kid I was scared to death on my first trip in an airplane. Never even considered flying as something I'd be doing for 25 years.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Once again I find myself on the back side of the coin, re: today’s Motivational Quote. The only thing that I truly trust about myself is that without God‘s Holy Spirit to guide me, I will continually mess things up. The below link pretty much sums it up for me. Have a blessed day today and always.
