A contemplation of all things church... and a desire for an increasingly pure church reformed by the word of God.

Big Ups to Ma J'aican Friends
Much respect to the Jamaican Olympic sprinters for their performance at the Beijing Olympics. Bolt set a new record dashing at 9.69 seconds and the ladies--big ups--did something no country has ever done, taking gold, silver, and bronze in a single event.
Ma backayad friends got rude boy!
Read here of Jamaica's 30-year plan for sprinting success.
They were formidable performances! Incidentally, a small correction--the two Jamaican ladies are sharing the silver medal because they tied at 10.98 seconds. A bronze medal was not awarded for 4th place.
All the same, I would love to see how fast Lightning Bolt can run if he were actually CHALLENGED!!! :-)
I didn't see the Bolt performance, only the short clips of his pulling away from the pack. So, I can't comment the showboating. But this I know: Pride goes before a fall.
I love the Lord because He first loved me. I love His people because He has given me a new heart. I have received God's favor in the form of my wife, Kristie. And together we know His blessing through three children. I was once a Muslim, and by God's grace I have been saved through faith in Jesus Christ. By God's unfathomable grace I am a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in which I hope to serve Him until He returns or calls me home!

Be blessed.
I think CJ should have a post coming soon on Bolt's showboating...what do you think?
Larrylaz,

Pray for him.
