The Need for Self-Discipline

24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run,
but only one gets the prize?
Run in such a way as to get the prize.

25 Everyone who competes in the games
goes into strict training.
They do it to get a crown that will not last,
but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly;
I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.

27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave
so that after I have preached to others,
I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

I Corinthians 9:24-27

Thanks.
Is this the last Olympics with Men’s teams and Women’s teams or will the gross hypocrisy continue? What’s to stop a male from deciding he wants to compete against the women and not other men?

Please Gd let the Olympics be free of evil attacks and may the athletes gain glory and life lessons from the hard work they’ve put in. Let everyone have fun and cameraderie. Gd bless all involved.

The Olympians I know are great, hard working kids.
