Vancouver 2010






This past week our television has been on a LOT more than it normally is. We've been caught up a bit in the Olympic frenzy that is all around us. I just read a friend's blog and it said so nicely what has been going through my mind. It's very easy to get caught up in the excitement and the glory of the competition but really there is no room for the glory or acknowledgment of God.

This said, we did go to Vancouver this past Monday as the kids had the day off for President's Day. There are many free venues if you have the patience to stand in lineups. We did enjoy the 4D experience of Ontario House - way to go Tourism Ontario!! I was, however, rather surprised that every Canadian venue we went to had mostly "first nations" displays, dances, etc. I'm wondering whether the world realizes that there are a few caucasians living there as well.

So true, we so easily get caught up in the Olympics and even sports in general...and forget what really matters, a better crown of glory.
Watching the games is fun, as long as we don't forget the real goal.
Take care.
