What has your attention today?

Can you remember the now-famous Flight 401 from New York to Miami?

As the flight approached Miami Airport the light that was to show that the landing gear we properly deployed did not come on. Without this light the flight crew could not be assured that the landing gear was properly down. As the aircraft made a long slow loop over the swamp, numerous parts of the fight crew made valiant efforts to remove the $0.75 blub to replace it. As the flight grew belabored this small light, no one noticed that the craft was looping lower and lower, closer and closer to the murky swamp. We all can remember the tragic outcome. Several lost their lives, many were badly hurt.


Moral;
Make sure that we are paying proper attention to the important things. Far too many times we let the less significant things divert our attention.


Just my thought for this MOnday;
