Olympic Flame

On our cruise last summer, Brian and I visited Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympic Games.  It is now where the Olympic torch is lit, in an unfortunately pagan ceremony.  When we walked around the area, I remember commenting to Brian that it is sad to see all of that time and energy spent building huge monuments to pagan idols when it could have been used to provide for the poor who were likely building such places.  Well, it is now that time of the Olympic season and the torch was lit just a few days ago.  These pictures, from our cruise, show the place where it was lit.  It was a pagan temple, and you can read about it in the below photo.

What I would rather do, though, is talk about God: the Creator of the Universe and all that is in it.  He made our bodies capable of so much, as the athletes demonstrate during the games.  I like to watch the gymnasts, diving, track and swimming in particular, because of the fluid movement of the athletes' bodies.  How else could we have been so well-desigined, if it were not for our Omniscient Creator?
