This is a portion of the ESPN Sports Century documentary on Secretariat (if you remember these they're the 50 greatest athletes docs). This one is powerfully and extremely well done. There are a couple mild profanities so I apologize for that in advance. But it gets me pumped.
A few months ago Kevin DeYoung posted this on his Gospel Coalition blog (linked on my blogroll) and this is what he said...
"While it’s not helpful to call a horse race a “miracle” it is true that God made Secretariat and God made him fast. We should delight in that."
"I can’t help but think as I watch the commentators above that all of us are wired for transcendence. We long to be in the presence of something or someone great. That’s why witnessing a once in a lifetime horse run faster than any horse had ever run can make grown men and women cry. We delight in greatness, especially greatness that is pure and without pretension."
