Fumbles, Faith, and Fresh Starts

Have you ever made a mistake so embarrassing you wanted to hide forever? The story of Roy Regals might just give you the courage to face your second half.During the 1929 Rose Bowl, Roy Regals became infamous for scooping up a fumble and running the wrong way down the field. Stopped just shy of scoring for the opposing team, he was devastated. At halftime, overcome with shame, he told his coach he couldn't possibly return to the field. "I've ruined you, I've ruined myself, I've ruined the University of California," he lamented. His coach's response changed everything: "Roy, get up and go back out there. The game is only half over."Whatever wrong-way run you might be recovering from today, remember that your game is only half over. God is your helper, your strength, and He's with you every step of the way. Take courage from Roy Regals, who returned to play the best half of football in his life.
