Let the Games BEGIN!!

Uh, no. This is (was) a nice little feel-good thread about an Olympian who prays.

You both lack prudence.

The men’s platform diving team did great -got a silver. Afterwards the one guy was asked how it felt to be an Olympic Medalist. (paraphrased:)

“Great - but I’m a child of God first. That is who I am, and where my identity lies. But winning this silver is wonderful and ....”

They asked his partner if he was nervous in his first Olympics. “Well, like he said, my identity is based in Jesus - not as an Olympic diver. But that helps, because it gives me a calm and stuff up there on the platform. I can just go up there and do my best and not be worried about it.”

Glad these kids are able to give Glory to God - in however manner they chose.

Sounds like a judgment call to me.

If I knew there was going to be a test; Ida studied harder.
