I don't think she's praying but it would be cool if she were...Last Wednesday morning I read an email that advertised a church function with a guest speaker who had won an Olympic gold medal. I didn't know who that person was, and frankly didn't care. I was reminded that after a few years, the Olympic glory fades and the vast majority of champions fall off into obscurity.
People in the secular world might deem Jones' loss as catastrophic, but all Christians know that is not the case. We know that there is something greater than earthly fame, fortune, and accomplishment. When the Disciples marveled that even the demons are subject to them as they spoke in Jesus' name, Jesus told them to rejoice rather that their names are written in heaven.
As believers we have a prize which will never tarnish or fade - life in heaven. Win or lose, we know that the things of earth are all temporary and will never bring us true joy. That, my friend, can only come from having Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. So take a moment and rejoice that no matter what life throws at you, you can always have joy because your name is written in the book of life.
