For His Glory: Two Teen Olympians Honor God with their Gold Medals

By

Other than their new identities as teenage Olympic gold medalists, Gabby Douglas and Missy Franklin don’t seem to have a lot in common. Gabby, 16 and of African-American descent, grew up in Virginia Beach as one of four children. Missy, 17, is a Canadian-American currently residing in Colorado, her parents’ only child.

Missy, on the other hand, relies on perfect form and sheer muscle…

This post is for all the mommas out there. If you’re a daughter, feel free to read on as well.  You might find something you’d like to comment on below or share with your mom. If you’re not a mom, don’t run away. You’ll need to think about this if you step into a mentoring role. I recently came across a thought provoking post by author and speaker, Sheila Wray Gregoire, on the topic of dating and teens that grabbed my attention.

Within My Soul It’s Stirring

It was there.  I could feel it.  It wasn’t going away.  Send her a message and tell her.  Don’t push this aside, do it now.  The feeling wasn’t going away. Do it now.  But she’s probably busy and won’t answer back.  It doesn’t matter, tell her anyway.  “Hey girl.  I just wanted to let you know what a blessing you are.
