Today’s Message is: “Tree Day!” Why Not?
“What can a tree teach us about leadership? A tree is always growing and changing. They are super strong, they stretch to new heights, the leaves change with the seasons, and they’re grounded with deep roots. Great leaders have the same characteristics. Is your leadership like a tree growing on solid ground and deeply rooted in character and integrity?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good R.E.D. Friday Colonel.
Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. When I first saw today’s topic, the poem by Joyce Kilmer came to mind. It is called Trees. I include that below. I also thought about how important tree is used in scripture. We are told about Jessie’s tree in the Bible. I have included a link to that for your consideration. Have a blessed day today and always.
