I had the honour of running with the Olympic Torch this morning. The people, the run, the excitement were fantastic and emotional. I was awestruck by the fact that a single flame and the symbolism it represents has the power to unite people, to unite the spirit, to energize and to move the heart. What would we accomplish if the flame of faith, the spirit of Jesus, shone equally is bright or brighter in our hearts?
