| 0:10.3 | encouraging. I titled it When We Don't Understand. I don't understand his plan. I turned my whole |
| 0:19.7 | life over to him, and this happens. Such was the message of a |
| 0:24.3 | son to his mother when his dream to succeed as a professional athlete was temporarily derailed. |
| 0:32.0 | Who among us hasn't had some kind of unexpected, disappointing experience that sends our minds into overdrive |
