THE MIRACLE...1 YEAR LATER

If something quickly happened...that made you think today could be your last...what might cross your mind?

Would you think of your family? Would you think of those around you? Would you regret the things you haven't done yet...or be grateful for the things you HAVE. Would you pray for a second chance? Would you curse because this may be your last chance?

I think we can run those scenarios through our mind over and over, and THINK what we might do or say...but we don't REALLY know how we'll respond, or what we'll think, or what we'd do...until we're actually in the midst of the crisis.

Tomorrow is the 1 year anniversary of what has been called, 'The Miracle on the Hudson'. You recall the story...where the airline pilot taking off from a New York airport, unfortunately flew through a flock of birds that rendered his jet engines useless. In a matter of seconds, the pilot had to decide what he must do, to save the 150+ lives on the plane with him. His choice...that saved those 150+ lives...was to land the plane in the Hudson River...and he did it, successfully.

Several of those passengers, now reflect back on that day, and how THEY have changed some of the things in their lives...after wondering if they would lose them.

You know that old saying that goes something like, 'We should all treat each day as it were our last...because some day we'll be right'.

Easier said than done.
