The parables Jesus uses to illustrate the days of ultimates for His generation teach us about endurance.

Behavior Patterns that Create Cycles

These behavior cycles are predicable in the sense that we can observe that a new cycle is beginning or to some extent where a person is in the observable cycle. Breaking cycles of behavior are basic to […]
Unforced Errors: Don’t Beat Yourself
An “unforced error” in competition usually refers to something one participant does that has nothing to do with their opponent’s strategy, actions, or skill set. In tennis this could be a serve that faults: nothing the opponent does causes this to happen. Often, even great champions beat themselves more than a worthy opponent defeats them. […]
