Today’s Message is: “Back to Basics Day!” Why Not?


“Sometimes it’s just about getting back to the basics and readjust fire.. When Leaders are faced with an uncertain decision they go back to the basics to determine what’s needed to solve the problem. They do the right thing, identify what they’re solving, and who they are solving it for. They show more concern about the team, instead of themselves through their actions. Do you have that unshakeable positive attitude and are you willing to go back to the basics?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

If you never grasped the basics life is going to be extremely hard. As a flyer, when all the magic stops working you must go back to the stick, rudder, throttle basics instantaneously or its going to be a very bad day. Couldn't resist the Lombardi quote even though it's been used.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. As Christians, we often get so full and f ourselves that we forget what it means to be and live as Christian brothers and sisters. I believe that we should remember to get back to the basics of what it means to be a follower of Christ, and we can do that by re-reading the Holy Bible daily. See the below link for ‘Back to the Bible for the basics.’ Have a blessed day today and always.
