I had a lump on my face and had a big cancer thing removed.
I've had way more rejections than I've had jobs.
I've had a lot of success; I've had failures, so I learn from the failure.
I still pinch myself that I had the career that I had.
I had my first seizure, and I had to go in for heart surgery.
So beautiful! I had no idea! I had no idea...
I've had three wives. I've had five weddings.
I had a career that was very short, but it had a lot of thrills.
I don't think we would have had to be an occupying power if we had done the right thing in 1991.
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
I had come across a few sports psychologists, and I had no time for nearly all of them. I just don't think they work in a team environment.

the biggest damage to the Baghdad Zoo had not been done in battle, fierce as it had been. It was the looters. They had killed or kidnapped anything edible and ransacked everything else. Even the lamp poles had been unbolted, tipped over, and their co...
James had taken his own life, but the need to do so was not something easily explained. He had the life he wanted: money, a home, a job, a wife, a good friend. I’d known people who died at their own hand because life became unbearable, or because s...
God had spoken to His people through His Word. It had humbled them in their sins, but it had lifted them up to see the grace and mercy of God, and then had directed them into a new life of obedience. In all our desperate searching for ways to find jo...
