Stardate 12.09.2025
Some seasons stretch us in ways we never expected, and today is one of those days. With four years and seven months left in this chapter of my day job, the pace of change feels faster than ever. Our company has been in the news, and the shifts happening around us seem to pick up speed each week. There’s only so much I’m allowed to share publicly, but I can speak from the heart — and what I see every day is a team trying their best to steady themselves in the whirlwind.
In the middle of all this, my coworkers and I have been working closely to adapt, adjust, and keep moving forward even when the “new normal” shows up with another twist. Today, our top leaders are visiting. And if things go well, our little corner of the company might become part of the solution… a model of how people can stand together and face a changing world with courage.
So if you’re reading this, I’d ask you to keep my team in your thoughts. Lift them up in whatever way feels right to you — prayer, hope, or a simple kind intention whispered into the morning air. Days like this matter.
And thank you for walking this journey with me.
Captain’s Addendum
Bones: “Spock, remind me again why every time leaders visit, humans act like they’re preparing for a Vulcan High Council inspection?”
Spock: “It is quite logical, Doctor. Humans frequently exhibit elevated anxiety when authority figures appear, even when their performance is satisfactory.”
Bones: “Performance? Spock, these folks are trying to keep a whole ship afloat in a storm. A little empathy wouldn’t hurt.”
Spock: “Doctor, I am demonstrating empathy. I merely prefer to express it without unnecessary dramatics.”
Bones: “Unnecessary—? Blast it, Spock…”
Captain Michael’s Reflection:
Days like today remind me that even when we can’t control the bigger picture, we can still choose how we show up. We can choose unity. We can choose steadiness. We can choose hope. And sometimes, hope is enough to shift an entire atmosphere.
Scripture for Strength
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
— Joshua 1:9
May your day hold more peace than pressure, more clarity than confusion, and just enough grace to remind you you’re not facing anything alone.
