One Goal A Second Chance at the Real Life

 The football handbook for prayer and spirituality contains a 'grid iron' to mark our daily progress and a 'scorecard' to track our standings week to week.  In order to make the 'playoffs' in this 'league' we merely need to have a winning record.  We compete daily against the self we are leaving behind. Our adversary will continue to 'score' we have to be prepared for that.  Old habits aren't 'tackled' easily and we still 'penalize' ourselves by 'holding' onto familiar run patterns that our competition throws at us.
