NAVIGATION

Navigation of a ship at sea is, in principle, a very simple matter: you plot a course between where you are and where you want to be, and let the propeller muscle the ship through the water. As simple as that seems, it won’t happen without another very important element: the rudder! The rudder performs its quiet, steady work, unshaken by the tremendous pressures directed against it. And it must hold the true course without deviation.

The navigation of a human life is also, in principle, a very simple matter. As with a ship, there must be motivation and direction. Sea service men and women have shown no shortage of drive, but far too many who abound with energy have experienced the tragic results of inattention to their moral compass.

When a ship drifts off course, the order “Mind your helm!” quickly follows: Pay attention to your rudder’s position! The same order in your personal life (“Pay attention to moral attitudes and actions.”) is a call to mind the moral helm in your life. This internal rudder must be able to withstand the powerful forces that will otherwise constantly push you off your safe and proper course. The proven moral and spiritual values of our heritage provide excellent tools to help you sail a true course, whatever the state of the seas.

Good morning, Meg, and a Blessed Palm Sunday to you and yours.

How is the back behaving these days? Critter visitors?

[MEG33]

I’v seen foxes 3 times lately..but I shut the drapes and no longer feed the raccoons...They’ve discovered how to unhook the bird feeder and it crashes onto the patio..Much damage to the squirrel protector!
Keeping it dark seems to deter their tree climbing after the feeder.
Resting after big grocery shopping today...Back objected strongly but now has eased up. Thank you.
Hope you and yours have a blessed Sunday.
