Your life is like your football games.
Back and forth you run from one end of the field to another. Whoever has the ball, someone else wants
it. You try to rack up points for having
that ball and getting it to a goal. Does

times some get hurt in order to get that ball where you think it needs to go.

Do you guard your abilities and belongings fiercely if others come
