10 SECONDS



4th Quarter.

Saints 24     Vikings 23

3rd and 10.

Vikings have the ball on their own 39.  They have 61 yards to go for a touch down...probably about 30 yards to go to get into field goal range.

No timeouts.

10 SECONDS left in the game.

What happened next is something that will go down in NFL history.

So many unlikely things that should not have happened...happened.

10 SECONDS.

Similar to football (or any sport that operates with a time clock), in life, the game is not over until the clock shows 00:00.

What can happen in 10 SECONDS?

It seems like it is the "normal" countdown to things:

  • New Years
  • Rocket Launch (how many remember watching the Apollo launchings and counting down?)
  • The time it takes to get across half court in basketall
But in life, in 10 SECONDS:
  • You can make a decision that can change your life.....good or bad
A sharp word.

A negative reaction.

That one last drink.

A smile.

A hug.

I DO.

10 SECONDS is a long time, but in the right situation, what happens in that 10 SECONDS can last a lifetime!

Oh, and a team can complete an unbelievable pass play, score a "walk off" touchdown to win the playoff game and advance to play another week. (Saints 24 - Vikings 29)

10 SECONDS.
