Focus Friday: 39 seconds of Focus on a Focal Point.
\nOn Day Six of the ill-fated mission of Apollo 13, the astronauts
\nneeded to make a critical course correction. If they failed, they
\nmight never return to earth.<\/p>\n
To conserve power, the onboard computer that steered the craft
\nhad been shut down. Yet the astronauts needed to conduct a thirty-nine-second burn of the main engines. How to steer?<\/p>\n
Astronaut Jim Lovell determined that if they could keep a fixed point in space in view through their tiny window, they could steer the craft manually. That focal point turned out to be their destination - earth.<\/p>\n
As shown grippingly in 1995's hit movie, Apollo 13, for thirty-nine agonizing seconds, Lovell focused on keeping the earth in view. By not losing sight of that referenced point, the three astronauts avoided disaster.<\/p>\n
Scripture reminds us that to finish your life mission successfully, \"Fix your eyes on
\nJesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.\" (Hebrews 12:2). <\/p>\n
Today I challenge you to focus and don't lose sight of your highest priorities(God, Family,Neighbors...) your life might be at stake. #transformativelife2015 http:\/\/ift.tt\/1A4mtRY<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
