Perseverance

Anyone else see the men's all-around gymnastic final last night? What a show! Sara and I were glued to the television as we watched Paul Hamm persevere after falling on his backside to come back and win gold in amazing athletic fashion. It seems there is a life lesson somewhere in there: Even in the moments when you fall on your butt the race is not over. Get up, persevere, and strive toward the prize. I'm sure that moment will go down in Olympic history and we got to witness it.

On a side note, we have continued our cross country trip as we have left the damp and soggy terrain of Florida and made our way to the flatlands of Oklahoma. Only one problem: It's still raining!

You are not missing anything in Abilene. It's raining here too. The last two night there has been a Noahic downpour on us.

I hope you all are having a good and safe trip. See you when you get back.

Blessings.
