Tuesday Thoughts: a pilot had some lessons learned from his over 300 hours of flying. Here's one that may help you with all you have going on today. Be in the moment, whether it's people or a task.

"Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. In flying, the order of operations is simple: fly the plane. Everything else - like navigation and communication - is meaningless if you lose control of the aircraft. On the ground, that means focusing on the task in front of you. I'll often ignore texts and calls, and get back to people later, if I'm locked in on something important, or so I can focus on the people I'm with at the moment."

In a world filled with attention-grabbing headlines and on-demand time sucks, doing what is essential - like keeping a plane aloft or giving someone your full attention - is a great practice.

In the book of Romans, Chapter 8, verses 38 and 39, we are reminded of the power of God's Love in Jesus Christ: "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love.

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
