Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. ~Psalm 119:105

Over a decade ago, in the aftermath of John Kennedy Jr.'s death, we heard through the media about the difficulties involved with flying a plane by instruments alone - a necessary skill if you want to be able to fly at night or in fog.  One such article by an amateur pilot noted, "I flew the headings and turns as instructed, but even with 10 hours of instrument flying experience already in my logbook, I was amazed at how quickly the plane slid into a banking turn if I diverted my attention for just a few moments.  The first time it happened, a pang of panic shot through me, a momentary fear that made it even more difficult to comprehend what the plane was doing."  But when he heard his instructor next to him calmly say, "Watch your bank," he quickly leveled the plane.
