The Olympic Games

     It's that time again. Time for the greatest stage of human performance. It's 
time for the Olympic games!
    

     Going back through history we have seen the power of the Olympics bring 
together divided nations, settle international rivalries, release those 
individuals whose race had been suppressed, and brought families closer 
together through aesthetic athletic expression. We have all been touched by 
the feelings of Nationalism this world stage provides. Each one of us 
understands the power of both participating and winning at such a 
prestigious level. This summer, as we gather in front of our televisions or 
around our computers, we will surely see the pinnacle of a series of such 
great events.
   

     The Olympic games have evolved from age to age. As we embark on this 
information age we are blessed to be able to follow our athletes on social 
stages such as Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr. I encourage all of you from 
every corner of the earth to research and learn about your athletes. Then, 
enjoy watching them lead your country. Stand beside them as they represent 
everything your country stands for. Celebrate together and enjoy the 
victories, accomplishments, laughter and the atmosphere that the Olympics 
provides. This summer as the world watches London, take time to relax and 
watch your country. Be inspired to participate further with your own 
physical activities by your athletes' performances.
