Good Sunday afternoon Colonel.
How one responds to any given situation says a lot about their character.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Have y’all been put in a position where y’all reacted in instant response and later y’all thought, why I’d I do that? Maybe I should have taken a second to plan a better response. I know that I have and thought, boy, I won’t do that again. Guess what, I didn’t remember the lesson. I thank God that He protects the fools from their folly. Have a blessed day today and always.
