Good Thursday afternoon Colonel.
The weight of being a leader is always there. It's just that the truly great leaders suck it up and move on.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Carrying too much weight of the world on our shoulders is much like too much weight on our physical bodies, eventually it will become too much for us to bear and break us down. Give our weight to God and let Him carry it for us. Have a blessed day today and always.
