| It Is Not Who Is Winning At Half-Time That Counts! |

It is only the half-way point, you are battered and beaten
The other team's so far ahead you think they must be cheatin'
One play after another they beat you at your very best
Another half yet to go! You would rather just stay and rest!
They are bigger, faster, and stronger - seems no there's no way to win
It's gut check time! Take a deep breath and pray for a second wind
Odds seem great and defeat and apathy want to settle in
You just can not give up you must go out and battle again!
You are a warrior, a soldier of the Almighty King
Now go out there and give your best as a faithful offering
For you know that victory is yours if you choose not to faint
There is no such thing as can't or retreat for one of His saints
More than a conqueror the enemy is under your feet
You shall overcome, while Satan's team will suffer defeat
Play like a champion and do not ever look at the score
You are surrounded by a great crowd who has been there before
They are wildly cheering for you, and are pushing you on
They know from experience it's darkest right before the dawn.
Take heart my friends though the pressure seems to continue to mount
No matter the score it's not who's winning at half time that counts.
6/13/2008 THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE
- AP Photo/Kevork DjansezianPaul Pierce (20 points) and the C's stunned the Lakers after halftime.
- The Celtics are suddenly one win from claiming the NBA championship. Down 24 in the first half and 18 at halftime, Boston found a way past the Lakers in Game 4 to make Finals history in a 97-91 win Thursday

Ok, so you're gonna tell us the team down 27-0 came back to win this game, right? :-) Yep, we all need to keep sight of our great hope! The short-term outlook is nothing but a distraction! |

Cindy Lou: Sorry but this was hot off the press. Every athlete needs this mentality though! Never quit and never say die!
Marg Jay: i think you give me too much credit. But, I will be glad to join you on your radio cast. thanks for the kind words and the invitation.
Mike: I don't know the outcome of that game, but I remember the play off game between the Bills and the Houston Oilers. Warren Moon and company had built what seemed like an insurrmountable half-time lead. Yet Jim Kelly brought them back and the Bills went on the the Super Bowl. Do you remember that game?
ED: 2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate? ED! ED! ED! Whoo! I always wanted to to this as a "call to worship." I did it at a Sun Rise Service and it was a lot of fun. I shouted: Give me a "J" Give me and "E" all the way to J-E-S-U-S! Who do we love? Who do we serve? Who is risen from the dead? etc....Wonder why don't allow ourselves to get fired up over Jesus like we do our favorite sports teams? |

| Brother Todd, I know you were being rhetorical, but let me offer this answer to your question about why we can't be fired up over Jesus, like we do our favorite teams. Some people are very private about their faith. In a way, it is something that is precious and awesome just to them. So, shouting the name of Jesus in a public forum would betray that inner reverence, i.e., it would let out into the open a part of them that is sacred and personal. What do you say? |
