The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Today's Message is: "Wake Up Day!" Why Not?

The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 28 December 2021!


Today’s Message is: “Wake Up Day!” Why Not?


“Leaders it’s time for a wake-up call! There are leaders today that are out of touch with the people they lead. It’s time to have a ‘team chat’ to release some of the tension in you and your people. Get them re-engaged. Share an inspirational vision for the future, manage both of your energy levels, build a strong sense of personal value, and build strong relationships. Check in and wake up, don’t check out!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Thought I'd responded this morning but apparently I left the site before hitting publish. I think your quote pretty much sums it up, but don't you have to wake up to be Woke? Supposedly that is a bad thing to some. Whatever, my wake up routine has changed over the years!

Good morning, Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Waking up, when one has had a rough night of little sleep, can be a tough thing to do. But if one does not get up they are missing opportunities galore. Wake up and thank the Lord for another day. Be prepared because the day of salvation is near. Have a blessed day today and always.

Wake up, day of salvation is near

  • Pastor Chris Rathje Immanuel Lutheran Churches - Taylor and Springerville Romans 13:11 “The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.” Are you a morning person? Do you love…
