I didn't realize I hit "save" without that info. <br /><br />What I wrote in my notes was, "Eric Lidell - a christian, not a mormon, but someone who studied the scriptures and honored God became known as the fastest runner in Scotland and went on to compete in the 1924 Olympics ... etc."<br /><br />Yes, he was an amazing Christian that dedicated his whole life to serving God, and that was what was important. I found some great info about him.<br /><br />The LDS article was helpful, but unfortunately, it pulled info from the notes for the movie that was based on him, which means it was the inaccurate movie version.<br /><br />So, I found notes in several places, including here:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Liddell<br /><br />and<br /><br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jan/04/50-stunning-olympic-moments-eric-liddell<br /><br />for a more full story.<br /><br />Thank you so much for the correction. I can't believe I left that on the post :pEstherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780142126740826889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7680054767121240607.post-62533587158366488262012-08-05T08:57:03.377-07:002012-08-05T08:57:03.377-07:00Those are some fun ideas!

He preached in Scotland and, following in his parent's footsteps served a mission in China. When the Japanese took over his mission Liddell was interned into a labor camp. Given the chance to be released through a prisoner exchange, Liddell gave his ticket to freedom to a pregnant woman. He died in the camp. Truly, he was a Christ-like man.Brian M Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754823428232075213noreply@blogger.com
