Good Wednesday evening Colonel!
Always my pleasure Mikel. Many blessings to you, Bella and your Mom.
I've always said that there's a fine line between a hero and a fool. Some folks are just better at crossing back and forth over that line than others.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Being a hero does not mean that one doesn’t have fear, rather it is what one does in spite of that fear. One of the first heroes in the Bible, that I remember hearing about was David, a small shepherd boy that volunteered to go up against Goliath, a Philistine Giant, with nothing more than a slingshot. David trusted God to bring him thru his greatest challenge. If we trust God, He will bring us thru our greatest challenges. Have a blessed day today and always.
