"I read the Bible every day. I’m in my second pass-through now, in the Book of John. My pastor told me to start with the New Testament, so I did, maybe two years ago. Worked my way through it, then through the Old Testament. Now I’m back in the New Testament."

“For me, reading the Bible has been a wonderful experience as I have grown in my knowledge and appreciation of God. This is where He speaks to me.

"Turning my life over to God was a difficult thing because it meant that I had to give Him control of my life. Everything in our society is geared towards having more, and that's the way I am, too. I'm determined and stubborn that I will get more by pushing myself. But I found that the more I tried, the less happy I was. I learned that life is better when I give everything to God. It’s my relationship with Jesus that gives me true significance.”
—Catriona LeMay Doan, Canadian Olympic gold medalist speed-skater
“Before my race I’m usually praying. I just pray that I will skate for God’s glory and to the best of my ability. I’ve won a medal, but that’s nothing compared to the crown I’ll get in Heaven. I see a lot of people in sports who think when they reach a certain level they’ve got it made, but really, you can only find happiness in the Lord.”
–Cindy Klassen, Canadian Olympic gold medalist speed-skater
“My courage comes from my faith. I can rely on God and I know that things are in His control, not mine. It feels like I’ve almost got an unfair advantage.”
—Lyndon Rush, Canadian Bobsled Team
