I am no athlete by any means, but I love the olympics. I was born in October of 1972 when the olympics was occurring in Greece. The original olympic town. Its a far stretch but I feel a connection to the olympics.
The idea of young people having a life experience like completing on a global scale and representing their country is an emotional experience for me.
The joy, pride, and excitement the parents must feel just being there watching their kids succeed is probably a lot like what God feels like when he watches us do his will here on earth, and what sorrow he must feel when we don't finish the race.
I pray we give 100% to living our life to make a difference, as the athletes give the example of giving their all.
Go team USA!!!!!!!!!
