Good Monday evening Colonel.
Sorry, I really don't have a lot of confidence in someone who has never had to struggle sometime in their life.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I am reminded of the struggle against the immovable rock. When facing the urge to give up because the rock could not be moved, we are reminded of the strength we gained as a result of the struggle. I pray that you will fight the urge to give up and to gain the strength the struggle gives you. Have a blessed day today and always.
