God sends us inspiration.""When David looked at [Goliath], he saw a target too big to miss.""The more time spent on the new game plan, the better we'll be learning to create worth in our life is what we're meant to do.""A good coach knows there's a second half to be played and it's not won or lost on a single play. So he keeps his head in the game and prepares for the next half.""Let the calls coming to you and the opportunities before you inspire you to act.""You can choose a life of great worth. God is behind you and before you, and He will help you."Links:https://www.mckaychristensen.org/
