I've seen a few "Oh No" leaders in my time.......definition is they're solely trying to show how in charge and powerful they are. Mostly in my civilian, not military careers. They normally stand out immediately and, in my experience anyway, don't last in the job very long.

Good morning Col Burroughs and lol of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I choose to let God be in charge of my life, because after all He made me and knows what is best for me. Have a blessed day today and always.

What Charge Are We Given as Christians?

What does it mean to be charged? We are charged or entrusted with a task, as a duty, and as a responsibility. We are to be ready; we are to be brave to tell the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for your kind words, Mikel. We are anxious to get settled into the bigger unit, with the balcony overlooking the court yard. It has a really nice waterfront that sounds so relaxing. Our dog is going to enjoy itting out in the sun everyday. Have a blessed day my, my friend.
