“When you accept a leadership role, you accept the ‘good, the bad, and the ugly'. As a leader you will be criticized, challenged, and critiqued daily by those you lead and your peers. Pull up your big girl or boy pants, rub some dirt on your hands, and accept the responsibility of leading!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Have y’all considered that God is allowing the world’s events to happen. He has a timeline for all creation and we should prayerfully consider accepting what happening right now is God is allowing it so as to advance His plan for all mankind. Have a blessed day today and always.

What does the Bible say about acceptance?
ANSWER “I give up,” some say when faced with a difficult situation. Others disagree. “You can write your own ticket with God,” they claim. “Just pray in faith and you can have what you want.” Those two extremes often surface in discussions about the acceptance of events…
Brought back some memories with the comment on leaders having to accept the good, the bad, and the ugly. During the change of command ceremony for my first squadron the First Sergeant was called out. Turned out he had to go to town to bail out a squadron member who had been arrested for drunk driving. Later in the day my first official act as commander was dealing with the ugly side of command.
Good RED Friday Colonel.
