Canada beats Russia & gets 4 medals today!

Awesome, Canada is doing superb this Olympics. I must say this is the most I have heard the Canadian national anthem.

I was just reading the paper and it was detailing all the goings on and people in town for the Olympics & I just realized something about who it was I saw on Monday.
I was walking with my family & noticed an older man walking towards me wearing a NASA Appolo jacket & looked at him & thought, "must be an Astronaut" & put it out of my mind.

Turns out he was Buzz Aldrin.

One thing I find fascinating about the Olympics & Olympians is the dedication they have to the sport in which they are seeking to excel.
Some of them spend 5-6 hours a day 7 days a week in training!!!!

When was the last time any of us had a 6 hour prayer meeting, or a 3 day fast?

Ron,
I believe a lot of people are praying and fasting. I don't think because an event is taking place that everyone else stopped living for God, KWIM?

Anyway, I am absolutely loving the Olympics!!!

I loved that the USA Hockey team beat the Swiss yesterday.

Loved the Canadian couple that won the figure skating. No doubt they were the best.

Watching it right now and can't wait until tonight.

I thought he was just talking about their dedication and how we fail sometimes to be THAT dedicated!

I have no idea!!! We are talking about John McCain on Facebook, listening to Obama's closing remarks on the Healthcare summit, commenting on that and I have the Oympics on in the background. Well, it's on mute, but I keep turning around and looking. LOL!

I was amazed at Joannie Rochet at being able to deliver the performance she did after losing her mother!

There is a message there.
