An Apt Metaphor?

While listening to the Atlanta Braves game on the radio last night, I heard announcer and former pitcher Don Sutton talking about something that the late great Dodgers manager Walter Alston had said: "Every team is going to win 54 games and every team is going to lose 54 games; it's what you do with the other 54 games that makes the difference."

This seems to me to be applicable to life in the church and to life in general.
