It was the early morning of
May 20, 1927. The sky was
empty except for the small,
single-engine plane called “The
Spirit of St. Louis.” Charles
Lindbergh, the pilot, had just
departed Roosevelt Field and was
attempting to cross the Atlantic
Ocean. His destination was
northern France.
Armed only with a chart,
compass and sextant, he battled
fog, sleet and storms until he
finally reached his destination
and landed the next day at Le
Bouget Field near Paris.
The historical flight,
however, was not an easy one.
Lindbergh was thrown off course
many times due to weather and
unexpected conditions, but he
continued to make changes and
get back on course.
Even today, his flight across
the Atlantic Ocean is seen as an
amazing feat. Without landing

and without modem instruments,
he miraculously made numerous
mid-flight course corrections in
order to maintain the proper
direction. The success of his
flight was found in his ability to
stay on course.
Your life can be likened to a
journey, and the success of it
depends on how well you stay
on course.
Has your life become a detour
into bad habits and attitudes, or
has it stayed on course? Have
you allowed wrong priorities and
motives to change your life’s
direction? Are you still on the
path toward becoming more like
Christ every day?
Perhaps we all need to
follow the example of Charles
Lindbergh. If your life has
gotten off course, why not make
some mid-flight corrections?
Why not make some
adjustments in your family or

Making adjustments won’t

necessary corrections and start
