The Olympics

I know I am just passing through this life. I know God loves everyone.....no matter what nation is named on the outside of their passport or their Olympic uniform. I know my citizenship is in heaven. I say all of those things with firm conviction. But let me tell you, I still get chill-bumps when our national anthem is played at the medal ceremony of any particular event at the Olympics. Especially if the champion has overcome great odds to achieve this ultimate prize. I am proud of ALL the champions.......no matter what country they come from. But let's face it, I am even more proud when it is an American standing up there. If that is wrong, I will just have to hope God's grace is big enough to cover this shortcoming. Until somebody shows me the error of my ways......I say "GO USA"! Good luck to all the Olympic athletes from all over the world! Thanks for giving us all that you have, and then some. I know it is an old saying, but it's still true........they are ALL winners in my book.
