Penrith grand final win in last 20 minutes

We begin our lives with great hopes and aspirations about our careers, our marriages, our children. Then something happens. Our career goes south, our marriage goes sour, our children go awry, and our dreams are shattered.
If that's happened to you, hang on to hope.

Meadowlark Lemon, the old Harlem Globetrotter star, said, "The most useless statistic in sports is the halftime score." More than one game has been won in the second half, in the last two minutes, and even in the last second.
How many football games have been lost this season by a last minute final minute kick? 
And what about the grand final?

Penrith trailed Broncos 24 to 8.  With only twenty minutes to go. Everyone had given up. Except Nathan Cleary.  He brought them home to a 26 to 24 win.  

Our God is a God of second chances so don't give up. God's not through with you yet.

The fact is, God's not through with you even if you are through with him. He's not through with you until you are through with you. So keep trusting and believing. As Yogi Berra famously said, "It ain't over till it's over."

Jesus   -Mark 1:35 "Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went to a solitary place, where he prayed."   2. It seems logical to begin the day with it.
