FYI: The 1988 Olympics were held in Seoul, Korea. (The Barcelona Olympics were in 1992).

I must openly admit that I am an olympic junkie! I find the contests exciting and the stories inspirational.

It is refreshing to see that many of the outstanding American athletes (Michael Phelps & Dara Torres among them) that have chosen to take additional, more stringent drug testing to confirm their drug-free status and to set an example to other athletes (and wannabes).

Our Lord knows the effect that competition can have in our lives. He often used athletic language to emphasize His truths (see Phil 3:13-15, II Timothy 4:7,1 Corinthians 9:24-27). We are all in a very great contest with the highest stakes possible.

Who knows what divine revelations I will receive during the upcoming track and field events! ;-)
