The Olympics are a big deal at the Linos--the summer AND winter versions. One thing about the Olympics, you better be in go mode from night one because they only last two weeks. There is no ramp up time to get in the swing of things. We watch events we don't even care about because it's about the people phenomenon...men and women who have completely devoted themselves to years of training to compete in an event that will last minutes and sometimes seconds.
The opening and closing ceremonies always remind me of Heaven because the bible says that one day around the throne of Christ will be people of every language, tongue, and tribe. One day folks from every people group will rally around something much greater than physical human feats, we will rally around our Maker, the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the meantime, be awed by your Savior over the next two weeks as you see the amazing feats that can be accomplished by the human body He designed. Every athlete you watch was handcrafted by Christ while in their mother's womb--get ready to be amazed by His handiwork.
