checkpoints

2 Nephi 1:23

"Awake, my sons;"
Remember who you are and where you are going. Look off in the distance and make some course corrections.

Pres Uchtdorf: 
"It was a terrible tragedy brought on by a minor error—a matter of only a few degrees. Through years of serving the Lord and in countless interviews, I have learned that the difference between happiness and misery in individuals, in marriages, and families often comes down to an error of only a few degrees."

We have a sister in our ward that works as an aur traffic controller. She said it's not just on the pilot. There are a lot of people on the ground that are keeping an eye on modern airplanes. There are checkpoints and people who track every plane in the sky. She reminded us that we have family, friends, ward members and leaders, ministers, the Holy Ghost, prayer, scriptures, prophets, God and Jesus Christ all looking after us. Like Lehi calling on his sons to make some changes, we all have people around us that love us and want to help us reach our destination. Sometimes they let us know we're a few degrees off. Sometimes we let them know. We take care of each other.
