You know, I seem to remember Paul saying something about finishing the race ...
There may be no better example of that than America's Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the Olympic athlete who broke her own world record this week to take gold in the 400m hurdles, adding to her medal collection.
Some folks, however, are concerned that Sydney is creating a firestorm because she is unapologetically pro-Christ in everything she does.
Here's how Sydney treats those accusations.
I don't live for the approval of people, so I don't have to worry about those things. And even if an endorsement or something wants to leave, I know God will provide for me in the way he sees fit. I'm not gonna compromise the truth just to make people feel more comfortable ...
I continue to speak the truth because I know that's what I'm called to do.
Amen and amen!
It makes you proud to be an American to have young women like Sydney represent your country.
