Reply to "What HAVE we done?"

I have really struggled with some of these recent threads.  Notions like, "we don't deserve ..." seem like a lot of entitlement.  When  I was born, we were the poorest family in the school.  My mom and dad were sharecroppers and we lived in a one room sharecropping shack that few could believe.  In fact, 7 of us lived there.  I watch my parents and grandparents battle every day to put food on the table.  I've seen my dad torn apart from an accident with a 8 inch cut across his face and head go to work the next day.  So what, we don't have sports now.  Do you have your health?  If so, that is a blessing.  Are your loved ones healthy?  If so, that is a blessing.  Sports are games.  Sure they serve an important part of our society.  However, in the larger game of life, there are so many more important things.  I look forward to being able to watch sports but until then, I'll count my Blessings and give thanks each night for another day.
