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.
