I’ve loved watching the Sochi Winter Olympics. Kudos
to the beautiful country of Russia! I especially
enjoy the inspiring stories of athletes who have had the gumption to persevere
through hardship in order to achieve their dreams.
Sadly, the Olympics are almost over, but I have
a tiny tree that has that same grit. In its three years of life, this miniscule
cottonwood has survived mowing, transplanting, tromping, weed competition, and
drought. More than once, I thought it had been obliterated, but, weeks or
months later, it reappeared.
I’m a tree lover but have never bothered to
christen one. But if ever a tree has earned a name, this one has: Olympia.
“Yet in all these things
we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” –ROMANS 8:37 (NKJV)
