The Unexpected And The Inspiring

Would you expect a man who is legally blind to be a world class archer? Probably not, but ...

 

"Legally blind archer Im Dong-hyun set the first world records of the London Olympics, breaking his own record in the 72-arrow mark and helping South Korea set a team record in the ranking round on Friday.

 

Im broke the record he had set in Turkey in May by three points with a score of 699, hours before the 2012 Games official opening ceremony.

 

"This is just the first round, so I will not get too excited by it," said Im, who has 10 percent vision in his left eye and 20 percent in his right."

Amazing what focus and perseverance can do for one in spite of handicaps. .

Joseph,

 

Yes, and I think that is a concept Jesus championed. I have long considered Jesus a teacher and leader of resilience in the face of obstacles.
