regrets

When I was a junior in high school I was playing in one of my first varsity football games.  We were losing by less than a touchdown with not much time left.  The coach put me in at receiver and the call was a deep route to me.  As I was running my route the ball was thrown to me, and the defender guarding me pulled on my jersey to slow me down.  Obviously this is illegal, so I stopped and threw up my hands to get the call.  The ref never made the call.  Looking at it on film the next day, if I would have kept running I might could have caught the ball and gotten yards to help us get closer, or even score a touchdown.  Instead I stopped my route and complained.  This is a play that I run in my head every now and then and I regret that I stopped my route.  I might not have scored, I might not have even caught the ball, but I will never know because I didn't even try. Many Christians today are paralyzed by things they have done and decisions...
