Winter Olympics-2010

I have not been watching the winter Olympics as much as I would like, but I have watched some of it. My favorite event has been the Ski cross event. I like how there were four Olympian contestants on the same course at the same time. I also liked the luge and speed skating. I think that the opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver was fairly good, although there were some complications. Also,it was sad that the Georgian Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died in a training run. I think that the people in charge of creating the courses should have prepared more and should have tested the track more.

I think that if God gave humans a progress report for Christians instead of our conscience that he has given us, the world would probably be surprised. I think that if He did do that, it might take away purgatory because the people who received a bad progress report would obviously know that they were doing something wrong, as well as the people who received a good progress report would know that they were doing everything correctly and according to God's plan and will. God might grade us on our actions towards our friends, family, and even people we don't know, as well as towards ourselves.

Personally, I am not really a big fan of Valentine's Day. Officially, Valentine's Day is a National Holiday. The holiday is named after one or more early Christian martys named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in the year AD 496.It is also the feast day of Saints Cyril and Methodious. Valentine's Day is a day where loved one's send each other gifts, such as flowers, chocolates, or cards or anything else that shows that they love and care for each other. Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid.

I have a number of favorite songs and it is always difficult to pick a favorite. Thus, I cannot simply just pick my favorite song, but one of my favorite songs is "This Is Your Life" by Switchfoot. This song always makes me think about who I am, or who I aught to be. It makes me think about what kind of person I am, and what I could do or not do that would make me a better person. Simply put, it is an amazing song because of the beat and its appeal of making me think about who I am.
