Though I haven\u2019t flown in a while, I remember some crucially important things that ensured landing where, and when, we intended.   Wind speed and wind direction requires course corrections throughout the flight.  A strong wind can certainly take you off course. Constant \u201ctweaking\u201d is necessary.  All it takes is to be off just a few degrees and you can end up in Timbuktu, instead of the intended destination.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-K_hs02EbO64\/UxP-oXF4c5I\/AAAAAAAAFJ4\/N7wSably6MY\/s1600\/Course+Correction.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Course-Correction.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>And isn\u2019t that true in our own lives?  Our emotions, our bodies, and our spirits may get off course by \u201cnegative winds\u201d that we\u2019ve let come in.  They may have come in by the company we keep, the food choices we\u2019ve made, some unhealthy habits, some compromising of our ethics and integrity, or literally missing the mark.   Perhaps, it\u2019s time for tweaking and correcting our course.  The winds can certainly slow us down, and take us completely off course &#8212; not to mention keep us from receiving the blessings that could have been ours if we were on track.    Tomorrow, the Lenten season begins &#8212; the 40 days that precedes the passion of Christ and Easter  &#8212; the time we deliberately focus our attention on getting it right \u2013 getting our hearts right.  It\u2019s the perfect time to make course corrections \u2013 where we make the adjustments necessary to be fully devoted followers of Christ.  \u201cCreate in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.\u201d Psalm 51:10.  I promise you\u2026.this is the stuff that helps us fly higher than we\u2019ve EVER flown before.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What you may not know about me is that I\u2019m a Private Pilot.
