Today we're talking about the latest out of Paris, why three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna were cancelled, Ukraine going into the offensive into Russia, and other top news for Friday, August 9th.

Stand formed while remaining focused on Christ

with the poor over today.

Here's the quote of the day.

Prayer is not conquering God's reluctance, but taking hold of God's willingness,

Phillips Brooks. Let's get started with some espresso shots.

With over 100 metals now, Uncle Sam continues to dominate. On the track, Sidney McLaughlin-Lavron

set a 400-meter world record, winning gold by 1.5 seconds.

Tara Davis Woodhall, Long Jump, and Grant Holloway, 110 meter hurdles also took gold.

Quincy Hall came from behind to win the men's 400 meters by 0.04 seconds.

And Noah Liles, 200 meters, raced with COVID and still got bronze.

Meanwhile, women's artistic swimming won its first medal in 20 years, a silver with an

underwater moonwalk, and Steph Curry and company survived

Serbia advancing to play gold medal hoops against France tomorrow.

Winter Olympians crashed the Swiree to resolve some

mismettling. Russia's 2022 figure skating team had its gold medals revoked

due to doping, bumping Team USA up to gold in an Eiffel Tower ceremony.

Paris's closing ceremonies are Sunday night.

Here's the verse to consider whether your country wins, loses, or you're just not an Olympics kind of person.

Rejoise always, pray constantly, give thanks and everything, for this is God's will for you

in Christ Jesus.

First Thessalonians 5, 16 through 18.
