devotion.
when You stand the tall trees and mountains bow
when You speak the fiercest of oceans is still
and I see sinners seek devotion
lost become chosen
and I fall to my knees--Hillsong United

and he's from Michigan...
It's not science, it's science fiction...
MELBOURNE - Swimmers and coaches were shaking their heads on Wednesday over Michael Phelps' phenomenal performance to shatter one of Ian Thorpe's world records, with one describing it as 'science fiction'.
Phelps obliterated the Australian great's 2001 record in overpowering Dutchman Pieter van den Hoogenband in one minute 43.86 seconds in the 200-metres freestyle final at the world championships Tuesday.
It was an awesome sight watching the 21-year-old American surge away from the triple Olympic gold medallist to win by almost 2.5 seconds.
He claimed the second of a planned eight gold medals at the meet.
'I thought that Thorpe's record was the maximum, but this is not science, it's science fiction,' said Italy's former Olympic champion Massimiliano Rosolino.
Van den Hoogenband, who beat Thorpe in the 200m event at the 2000 Sydney Olympics only to lose to the Australian at Athens four years later, was stunned by Phelps' performance.
'I didn't expect that it was possible that somebody in my career would swim so fast away from me,' he said.
'It happened one time earlier with Ian Thorpe in Japan at the 2001 world championships,' he said.
Netherlands head coach Jacco Verhaeren said there was general expectation that Phelps will break world records.
'It's not about expecting, we can expect everything from Phelps, he's an amazing swimmer,' said Verhaeren.
'As a swimmer he's so strong. He can go out fast or he can go out slow. He broke the world record and he's earnt a lot of respect,' he added. -- AFP
