Elijah's comment on 2014-01-16 10:01:48:

May God help us not to set our hearts on the corruptible glory of sports and martial arts in this temporal and fading life. May he give us the grace to deny ourselves the pride of life and it's lusts. Lord please help us keep our eyes you and to strive for the things of God and not worldly things to make us look great.
