I have been watching the Olympics on TV since the opening ceremonies last weekend. Tonight they had an ad for the NBC Olympics website (http://www.nbcolympics.com/) and I walked over to check it out on my laptop. I was impressed with the videos that I watched online. After a few seconds of buffering and video loading time the resolution was indeed HD quality. My home internet connection was about 6.8 mbps download, which I tested at http://www.speedtest.net/ last night. I enjoy watching videos of hockey hightlights, the skeleton race, ski jumping, and alpine skiing. I have a water bottle that I would like to share here: one side says: Olympic Living, The Way of Champions. On the other side is a Bible verse from the N.T., 1 Corinthians 9:25, "All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize (NLT version). I work, study, and exercise using the best of my abilities because the prize of heaven is in sight. There is a moon gadget on the right beside this paragraph, and it is getting closer to the full moon, at about 62% of full as I write this entry. Buzz Aldrin took communion on the moon, and most people never knew that fact. I will be watching the skies this weekend, for the beautiful full moon, during the feast of Purim, when God rescued Israel in the book of Esther from there enemies. I think that it is important to stand by our friends in Jerusalem and support them as Christians in the USA. An Olympic champion is one who is on God's team and Jesus is the captain.
