Biblical Athletics and the Olympic Theme in a Parable Style
The text blends biblical figures with sport imagery. Elijah’s 40 days in the wilderness is linked to marathon endurance. Peter and John heal a lame man at the temple gate as a triple jump metaphor. Jesus is deemed unsuitable for the team but chosen to carry the Olympic torch at the opening ceremony for symbolic light.

Court orders film shows at Albuquerque senior centers
A federal appeals court ruled that churches must be allowed to show the life of Jesus and distribute Bibles at Albuquerque Bear Canyon and other city senior centers. Judge Deanell R. Tacha said the city failed to prove a compelling interest for banning sectarian instruction and worship. Pastor Don Kimbro, now with Faith Fellowship and Bible Training Center, hailed the decision and will schedule screenings immediately.
