Where did the decathalon go?

"I'd love for this to be a spark for the decathlon," said Clay, the 2004 Olympic silver medalist, "and bring it back to the forefront."

While I certainly enjoyed Michael Phelps' extraordinary feat, and marveled at Usain Bolt's incredible domination of the sprints, I have to confess that I have been wondering, 'What happened to the Decathalon?'
For as long as I have been watching Olympics, I have always considered the Decathalon, the zenith of athletics. Names like, Rafer Johnson, Bruce Jenner, Daley Thompson and Dan O'Brien, have epitomized the super human Olympian. This time, the USA had Bryan Clay trying to improve on his silver gained in Athens and he was nowhere to be found on NBC. We saw BMX bikes, diving prelims, Water polo and endless interviews with Beach Volleyball players....Bryan Clay won Gold and we weren't able to watch! It was a travesty...just the occasional snippet of news, even the internet was no better. We even had endless analysis of baton handling. Give Bryan Clay his due... he is the true star of Beijing!

Todd Bentley update

LAKELAND | Evangelist Todd Bentley, who led a months-long faith-healing revival that attracted thousands and worldwide attention, had “an unhealthy relationship” with a female staff member during the revival, it was announced Friday by the board of his organization, Fresh Fire Ministries of Abbotsford, British Columbia.

The announcement, a statement posted on the Web site of Fresh Fire (www.freshfire.ca), said the board had discovered Bentley “has entered into an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member of his staff.”

What is , "an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member"?

It is adultery in spirit as if in fact. This apparently has happened more than once.
I know that people have drawn comparisons between Todd Bentley and Samson ( ridiculous!!) but I wonder if people will finally stop putting ministers on a pedestal and start focusing on God and God alone.
Having said that, I still believe that many have been touched by outpourings such as the Lakeland one. I pray that those, who upon hearing the news, are ready to dismiss the move of God, will keep on believing the message even if the messenger is flawed.
