Scoreboard at Final Buzzer
Think about the last sporting event you watched. Were you more concerned with who was winning at halftime or who ended up with the most points at the final buzzer? We all know it’s who wins at the end of the game, not halfway through, that truly matters.
We have our Half-Time review at ACPs, we recently had our 3rd Quarter Review now ... those were checkmarks, it doesn't matter who was winning then ... the ONLY THING that matters is the Scoreboard at the END.
We have 20 days to make the final difference. We can push ahead!!
Lets be Epic!
Onward!
