Just like all recent Olympics, the ones in Beijing delivered a lot of exciting victories and some heartbreaks as well. Rau’ Shee Warren was one of those heartbreaks. He lost at the last Olympics, and so he declined the money of pro boxing just because he wanted to win the gold in Beijing to give to his mother. He had thirty-five seconds left in his bout. He was waiting in his corner while his opponent gets his glove fixed. People are shouting all kinds of advice from the stands. He was sure someone said, “Move,” which meant he had the lead and should simply avoid getting punched to win, but his coaches were screaming the opposite message. He was actually behind 9-8. He needed to attack, he didn’t, he lost because he listened to the wrong voices. So have I. |

Well Hurricane Ike wasn’t in the headlines anymore, but I ran into some of his effects a long way from where he hit in the mountains of North Carolina; couldn’t find a station with any gas. Hurricane issues had disrupted gas distribution to a big chunk of the southeast and I was hitting what the locals had been living with for two weeks; long lines and limited quantities and flaring tempers, even some physical violence. |

I spent a few vigorous minutes on my treadmill. I think I’m ready to be in a Bowflex commercial. Then, I watch something like those women running the marathon at the Beijing Olympics and I need a lot more time on the treadmill, I think. But I can almost feel the pain of those marathoners as you saw them pushing to finish those last grueling miles. |

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we almost always see in Arlington Cemetery when the President goes there on Veteran’s Day to lay a wreath. You know, that ceremony of the changing of the guard has been going on for sixty years? I got close enough once to hear what they say to each other. The guard going off duty says, “Orders remain unchanged.” The guard coming on says, “Orders acknowledged.” That thing has been going on because of an unbroken chain of obeying the original orders. |

My wife got baptized the old-fashioned way; in the creek. She was nine years old. Almost didn’t go in though, because some poisonous water moccasins were floating on the surface. She finally decided if she could trust Jesus with her soul, she could trust Him to keep her safe from a couple of snakes. I heard about some guys who had much bigger issues when they were baptized. |
