Name: Zucchini and Arborio Rice Soup
Ingredients: 1 Garlic clove; 1/4 c Olive oil; 3 Zucchini -- (1 1/2 lbs); Diced but not peeled; 2 ts Salt; 1/4 ts Pepper; 1/4 ts Nutmeg; 1 1/2 c Plum tomatoes; 6 c Chicken broth; 1 c Arborio rice; 3 tb Parsley -- chopped; 3 tb Basil -- chopped; Parmesan cheese

What are some traits that mark an Olympian? 1. They have a “whatever-it-takes” attitude. They’ve made the decision to pay any price and bear any burden in the name of victory. 2. They have a plan to push forward when they encounter obstacles. They know facing adversity is part of being successful. 3. They have strict accountability. 4. They consider “very good” (or worse, “good enough”) to be “bad.” They are driven to perform at an elite level. 5. They set high goals for themselves. Motivation is keeping your eyes on the goal. 6. They are humble to know others can provide advice to make them better. 7. Levels of priorities are set and their life stays in-tune with those priorities. The same single-minded devotion expected from an Olympian is the same single-minded devotion our Savior expects from His followers. Yes, the fruit of sacrifice and self-denial will be different. Yes, the goals and rewards are different. And yes, the source of strength is different. However, the traits that mark an Olympian that I mentioned earlier could also apply to the traits that mark a disciple of Jesus Christ. If anything, we should be more motivated (see 1 Cor. 9:24-27a).
