Michael Phelps recently won 8 gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. What a victory!? What an athlete!
Most of his races were very close. Do you remember the one that he won by 100th of a second? That was close!

Indianapolis Colts, an NFL football team that in recent years has taken home the super bowl championship. They lost by 2 points on Sunday to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Give me a break! (personal note)
It was a pretty cool game to watch it all went down in the last 2 minutes. First, Peyton Manning took the Colts to a last minute lead. Then, with only 1 minute left in the game the Jacksonville Jags came back for the victory. With only 4 seconds left they scored again, giving them a 23-21 win.

What if Phelps would have gotten distracted for a half a second in each of his races?
What if the Jags would have put in their 2nd or 3rd string players for the last minute?

Phelps wouldn't have gotten all the medals, and the Jags wouldn't have won the game.

According to Scripture "You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes."

For Phelps it came down to 100th of a second. For the Jags- 1 minute.
