Good RED Friday Colonel.
Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. The first thing I thought of is that old song, “What a friend we have in Jesus.” I have a Navy friend from 1966, and though we may not talk often, when we do it is just as if we just spoke yesterday.
Many parents think they have to be friends with their children, rather than the ones who must discipline their children when necessary. This has become a real problem for our offspring, because they more often than not, feel like they are above reproach. This has been the downfall in our society over the years. Have a blessed day today and always.
