OLYMPIC THOUGHTS
A couple thoughts on the Beijing olympics....I felt true joy when I heard Pres. Bush interviewed in Beijing and he talked quite extensively about his efforts to convince the Chinese President (0r whatever his title is) to recognize all the underground Christian churches in the country. He said "I pressed the point everytime I talked with him". I love that he wasn't in the least bit shy or hesitant to push for religious freedom with the Chinese leader. I know that some of my readers don't like the President very much, but he did some very good work over there, and I know the Lord is working hard to turn China into a better place, so that the Restored Gospel can be preached there, and also so that the people can simply have a better life. The Lord works in his own way, and it's interesting to see how that is unfolding in China.
And on a very different note, aren't those male gymnasts cute? I love watching gymnastics....if I had an "alternate" life or 2 or 3, I'd love to learn to leap into the sky like that. Watching always inspires me to whip myself into shape!

I think that It would be a blessing for "Christian" religions to be recognized in China. My sister said that while she was living in China there were many native LDS members but that the Americans weren't allowed to converse with the Chinese members. How nice it would be for these brothers and sisters to feel the full effects of fellowship and for the Gospel to be able to spread unfettered. And yes, athletes of all types are remarkable to watch!
