I reflect on my 30 years at ESPN and continue to count my blessings each time I walk on the 'College Gameday' set.
What if the Soviet intervention was a blessing in disguise? It saved the myth that if the Soviets were not to intervene, there would have been some flowering authentic democratic socialism and so on. I'm a little bit more of a pessimist there. I think that the Soviets - it's a very sad lesson - by their intervention, saved the myth.
I think one of the blessings that I've had in watching, you know, films be made now from four of my books is to realize that it's a separate thing. It's a separate work.
I've always had the luck or blessing that someone would say, 'I liked what you did in that movie. I'd like you to be in my movie.'
The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Offense cuts you off from God. We separate ourselves from the pipeline. I've never seen anything block blessings from Heaven except offense.
Turn your attention for a while away from the worries and anxieties. Remind yourself of all your many blessings.
