WOW is all i can say after staying up late to watch the US Men's swim team win the 4x100 relay race. Here they were underdogs to the heavily favored French team, the announcers saying all night long they are just over matched! With Jason Lezak who was dogged for lackluster performances in past Olympic games came through with a miraculous comeback to overtake the french anchor who was the world record holder in a last second herculean effort to win the gold. I felt so proud for this team and to be an American. I love the Olympics for a very simple reason.....it makes us proud to be Americans and stop all the ridiculous Ethnic branding so many people are doing today. We hear so many people say "I'm Irish, or I'm Italian or I'm Puerto Rican" . STOP PLEASE! We are Americans and while we should be proud of our heritages lets embrace this country instead of trying to segregate it into a million little countries. When the Olympics are on we are all UNITED. This is a wonderful example for us Christians while we may have different gifts or different annointings we are all Children of the Most High God and that is what counts.......
