"Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."
Full chapter:
Colossians 3 King James Version (KJV)
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

If there is any advice Col. Kirk Gibbs can give to his successor, it is this: Lead with honor and humility.
As Gibbs, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District’s 61st commander, prepares to relinquish command of the LA District July 19 to Col. Aaron Barta, he offered up some advice and reflected on the past three years as the leader of one of the largest Corps districts in the country.
There are many things Gibbs said he is proud of when it comes to the LA District, but three things stand out: the District being recognized two years in a row as a "Best Place to Work" in the Corps; completing Weed Army Hospital at Fort Irwin, California – the Department of Defense’s only Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-Platinum, carbon-neutral, net-zero certifiable hospital – on time and within budget; and the one-on-one time he was able to spend with employees in the District.
It is the people Gibbs said he will miss the most – the employees and the District’s close partners across the four-state area.
“I have never focused on relationships like I have here in this District, and I sincerely believe it is part of the District's culture,” he said. “When projects are tough, the close relationships get us through those challenges and ultimately deliver the program.”
During his time with the LA District, Gibbs has overseen a multimillion-dollar program that provides engineering, construction, planning, contracting, real estate, emergency operations, environmental and regulatory services to military, federal, state and local governments across a 226,000-square-mile area of Southern California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. That also includes leading about 750 military and civilian personnel with a wide array of expertise.
But leading people is nothing new to Gibbs, who has served for more than 24 years as an active-duty Soldier, leading both military and civilian personnel.
“Each person is different, and I have learned that good leaders get to know each person individually and then lead them in a way that brings out the best in that employee,” he said.
Providing priorities and a solid intent on the District’s missions, particularly disaster response operations, helps employees stay focused on what’s really important, he said.
Gibbs will now serve as the chief of staff at the Corps’ headquarters in Washington, D.C. There, he said, he hopes to be an advocate for all of the Corps’ districts nationwide.
“I feel that this District and the great people are responsible for giving me the incredible opportunity of being the Corps’ chief of staff,” he said. “The people have taught me so much, and I will take that with me to make a positive impact on the Corps’ enterprise and help our Districts deliver our programs in civil works, military, Interagency and International Services, real estate and regulatory.”
Gibbs knows how the importance of mentors and having a good support system have played in shaping his career, and he credits his parents with instilling in him respect for others; his wife, Kim, who taught him to endure all challenges, no matter how great, with grace and dignity; and his former chief of staff – Col. Steve Hill – for giving him tough jobs to prepare him for success.
“(Hill) gave me tough jobs that I thought he could have done at the time, but as I look back, the toughest assignments he gave me in that civilian organization at the Corps headquarters prepared me for District command and enabled me to achieve the goal of commanding at the battalion, brigade and District levels,” he said. “I also remember he told me I would be a chief of staff for the Corps one day. He was preparing me for that. I didn't believe him, but that is my next job.”
And, as for additional advice he can share with Barta, Gibbs provided these words of wisdom:
- Be prepared to change leadership style when leading a District of professional civilians. Don't lead them in the same way as Soldiers;
- Engage with people and get around to see them across the District's entire area of operation. Don't sit behind a desk;
- Study hard initially and learn the policies, processes and programs. “You will never be the expert, but you must prepare yourself to make effective decisions as quickly as possible”;
- Always provide a commander's intent and an end state. The civilian workforce appreciates that; and, lastly,
- Lead with honor and humility. “It isn't about you. It is about the District's people and our vital mission.”
As for the future of the LA District, Gibbs said he hopes future leaders continue to change the culture to an organization that is more risk tolerant in streamlining processes and moving projects forward; deliver the Department of Veterans Affairs and Customs and Border Protection programs phenomenally – on time, within budget and to the highest quality; and to remain a "Best Place to Work" in order to retain and recruit talent to the high-cost living area of Southern California.
“I want the District to do what it always does and ‘knock those programs out of the park,’” he said.
"After gnanvidhi something has changed, something really significant. I am no longer bound to be the personality that I thought I was bound to be.

The high altar of the Iglesia de San Francisco in Quito. The extravagance belies the humility of the Franciscan Order, and is only exceeded by the nearby Jesuit church La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús.
The paintings, carvings, and statues that fill this end of the church illustrate the development of both native and European artisans since the sixteen century.
Starting from the outer walls, the paintings are of Franciscan martyrs and saints. These date from the original construction of the church as do the carved columns and figures which surround the paintings and altar. The majority of these artists are anonymous, as was common for the Quito School.
The works in the center of the altar are another story. The top retablo is The Baptism of Christ by Diego de Robles of Toledo, Spain.
Immediately below the retablo is a statue of the Virgin of the Apocalypse. Completed in 1734 by the best-known sculptor of the Quito school, Bernardo de Legarda, it is the inspiration for the iconic statue of the Virgin on top of the Panecillo and countless reproductions throughout the Ecuadorian and Colombian Andes.
Directly behind the altar is another iconic Quiteño sculpture, the “Jesus del Gran Poder.” Since 1966, this seventeenth-century sculpture attributed to a Franciscan Friar and student of the Quito School named simply Carlos, has been the focus of Quito’s Good Friday parade, drawing tens of thousands to witness its movement thru the city on the shoulders of the faithful.
The Altar also protects the tomb of Don Fransisco Inga, the son of the last Incan Emperor, Atahualpa.
For humility's sake, I guess, a close up of some of my stitch failings. It doesn't look so bad, but my top stitching almost converges with the seam at the waist in a few panels. Compare the left highlighted circle, which has about 3 mm space between seam and topstitching, with the right circle, which has about 1mm of space between the two!

Our profession needs great nurses. If it takes you an extra semester or two to join us, we’ll be here, waiting to greet you!
It is one of those ugly truths that no one wants to think about. Sometimes, students fail a course in nursing school. This is a big deal! It feels terrible emotionally and maybe even physically. To add insult to injury there is time, money, and embarrassment involved. Most schools have strict rules about returning to school or repeating courses, too.
Most nursing courses base their grade on 4 exams and 1 final exam with other assignments sprinkled in to make up a tiny percentage of the overall grade. Many nursing schools require a minimum grade of roughly 80% to actually pass, as well. By the time you realize you aren’t doing well enough to be successful in the course, the choices can be pretty limited.
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day… What makes you better is how you react to it. Mia Hamm
First, do not panic.
What can you do if you were not able to be successful in a course?
I have personally come unglued in the face of failure and have also witnessed students completely lose their grip on the world when they fail a course. It is totally understandable, but do not do this (at least limit the outbursts and who witnesses them!). Looking mentally unstable is not helpful. Just sayin’!
Most teachers actually understand. Some of us teach because we want to make nursing school a better place than we came from. We may not be able to help once failure of the course is inevitable, but we do care about you.
Grieve what you need to grieve and keep moving forward. You have more work to do!
A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying. B. F. Skinner
Second, determine your next step.
There is always a next step.
Was there a truly unjust situation within the course that qualifies you for an appeal?
This is rarely true and even more rarely successful, but it is something to consider. If you need to take the appeal route, keep in mind that humility and accepting responsibility are key to the success of an appeal.
Is there an option to repeat the course?
If so, just do it. There is always more to learn that you missed the first time around. Appreciate the learning experience and let the anger go. Harboring anger only serves to poison your efforts and is toxic to the people around you.
In some schools, this means you will be out for one year. This really stinks, but it is what it is. Many people repeat courses, achieve their goal, and barely reflect on the experience once they are taking care of patients and raking in that steady money.
Do you need to apply to a different school?
Occasionally, a new school is the best option. This is a tough route to pursue. No school wants to accept a nursing student from another program because it is complex. Credits rarely transfer, so you will be essentially starting over. On the other hand, if being a nurse is your goal, this is just another part of the journey.
Can you just take time off?
Many students have faced seemingly insurmountable circumstances. Immaturity, financial strain, unaddressed learning disability, death of a loved one, loss of a home, and the list goes on.
Sometimes, the best thing you can do is take some time off from school and pursue another job while you fully address the issues that interfered. Come back later. Nursing school is not going anywhere!
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
Henry Ford
Third, just own it.
Do not blame anyone. What’s done is done. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Anyone who has never failed at anything has never tried very much, either.
Elvis drove trucks after a a few years and a few failed attempts to secure a recording contract. They told him he couldn’t sing.
Henry Ford spent about 20 years trying to bring us the automobile!
JK Rowling’s Harry Potter barely got published. 12 publishers rejected the book!
Steven King’s first book was rejected by 30 publishers before finding its home.
Lady Gaga was tortured by classmates, demeaned by boyfriends, and rejected by record companies. Do we need to tell you how that turned out???
There’s a discipline for passion, and it’s not about how many times you get rejected or you fall down, or you’re beaten up. It’s about how many times you stand up, and are brave, and you keep going. Lady Gaga
Honestly, the list of people who are successful only because they did not give up, choosing instead to change course or strategy when needed, is astounding. That might mean you choose a different career, and that is fine!
However, our profession needs great nurses. If it takes you an extra semester or two to join us, we’ll be here, waiting to greet you!
P.S. If you want help with that new strategy, Nursing and NCLEX Mastery has got you, fam! Hit us up.

For this week's MacroMondays group theme of "Humility" - my inspirations was to look up quotes on humility and let them guide me. Did not post the salt photos to MM in favor of two others...
Thd difference between this shot and the Salt 1 of 2 is this one used a flash. You can see slightly better definition and more sparkles from the salt crystals.
And in case ANYONE is interested, this is Kosher Salt, as opposed to regular table salt or sea salt.
Versículo de hoy: "Si se humillare mi pueblo, sobre el cual mi nombre es invocado, y oraren, y buscaren mi rostro, y se convirtieren de sus malos caminos; entonces yo oiré desde los cielos, y perdonaré sus pecados, y sanaré su tierra" 2 Crónicas 7:14
Today's verse: "If my people, on whom my name is named, make themselves low and come to me in prayer, searching for me and turning from their evil ways; then I will give ear from heaven, overlooking their sin, and will give life again to their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

A diferencia de las plantas, que no se mueven y deben ser frecuentemente pasivas (hay otros mecanismos que lo compensan, como las plantas que buscan la luz en una caja de zapatos), nosotros no podemos quedarnos quietos para recibir nuestro alimento, debemos trabajar. La mayor parte de la gente se preocupa de los alimentos tangibles, como el pan. Mientras que deja de lado aquello que es más importante, esa parte espiritual que tenemos los seres humanos. También necesitamos alimentar nuestro espíritu.
Si uno pregunta a la gente en la calle, ¿alguna vez te has dedicado a buscar a Dios?, probablemente casi todos te digan que no. ¿Quiénes podrían contestarte lo contrario? Aquellos que tuvieron una crisis, que vivieron en una familia religiosa o que son curiosos por naturaleza y desearon conocer más sobre él. No deberíamos buscarlo solo cuando tenemos problemas, si no que siempre. Algo que nos puede ayudar a encontrarlo es la humildad.
Unlike plants, which do not move and should be frequently passive (there are other mechanisms to compensate, as plants seek the light in a shoe box), we can not sit still for our food, we must work. Most people worry tangible food, like bread. While leaving aside what is most important, the spiritual part we humans.
If you ask people on the street, do you ever dedicated to seeking God?, Probably almost everyone will say no. Who could answer you otherwise? Those who had a crisis, who lived in a religious family or who are naturally curious and wanted to know more about it. We should not look only when we have problems, if not always. Something that can help us find it is humility. Also need to nourish our spirit.

Dussehra, in the spirit of Bhakti Marga, is not merely a celebration of Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana — it is the triumph of divine love over the darkness within. It reminds us that the real battle takes place in the heart, where ego, pride, and desire challenge our devotion. Through surrender, humility, and unwavering faith, we allow the light of the Divine to conquer the shadows of the mind. On this sacred day, devotees celebrate the victory of truth, purity, and love by offering their hearts to God, knowing that when love reigns supreme, every inner Ravana is destroyed and the soul once again rests in the peace of Rama — the eternal presence of divine consciousness.
On this final day of Navaratri a yagna is conducted by the swami's and eventually Guruji himself. After performing abhidhek on his personal deities the congregation were allowed to offer water to his saligrams.
The main highlight was abhishek to Paramahamsa Vishwananda himself. The offering of all the 9 Kailash waters were poured directly onto Paramahamsa Vishwananda whilst he held the deity of Maha Lakshmi in his hands. The majesty of this occasion cannot be described in words.
Finally Guruji himself offered the final arati and handed out prasad and sarees to those who wore sarees.
It is without a doubt that these nine nights offered a great opportunity for change. Purification was indeed taking place and uplifting us as a result.
