"In football, every play starts with a down and a distance. The 'down' tells you how many chances you have left to move the ball, and the 'distance' tells you how far you need to go to reach your goal. Together, they define your situation, your options, and the urgency of your decisions. Life works the same way: every day, we face our own downs and distances—moments that challenge us to make the right choice, move forward, and trust God to help us gain ground."
