I must say I am pleasantly surprised with the Opening Ceremony. Having lived in an Asian country and experienced Chinese culture, I was expecting something very traditional and predictable. However, the wide variety of performance styles and rich fabric of cultural expression was truly a delight to experience.Well done, Beijing! You certainly exceeded my personal expectations and showed the world that culture and creativity can indeed be friends. Beijing's Olympic theme, "One World - One Dream", was fulfilled as the athletes proudly marched in and united together to make the Opening Ceremony the success it was.
I'm reminded too that God continues to exceed our own expectations time and time again...if only we have place our faith in Him. Halllelujah!
Ephesians 3:20 (NLT) ~ "Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think."
