Let The Games Begin

Wow what a show Bejing put on tonight. I was impressed by all the small details each person put into the show. My favorite story of the 9 year old boy that walked with the Chinese athletes. For those that missed the opening ceremonies. This 9 year old boy was a hero in that 20 of his 30 classmates died in the earthquake, and he was one of ten that made it out of the rubble. When he escaped the rubble--he went back in to try and rescue two of his classmates. When asked why he went back in to help his classmates, he said "I had to, I was the hall monitor, it was my responsibility." Stories like this remind me why we should be like unto a child. What a touching story.
