The Past: August 15, 2007

Originally written August 15, 2007

This is from an episode of Third Watch I was watching today.

Sullivan is talking to this priest he used to know, and the priest offers this gem:

"There are no easy answers. What's important is what you do now. Where you go from here. The true measure of your character is how you respond. What you do with the opportunity God is givng you. OPPORTUNITY... to realize how blessed you are. If we don't have losses, if there are no trials, how are we to know how important what we have is? God is challenging you. You can be angry, bitter, defeated, isolate yourself, become a drunk, a hermit, withdraw from life....OR..."

Sullivan replies, "Or?"

The Priest says, "OR."

Yeah. I'm pretty sure this episode aired today just for me.
