Parra clings to faith during trials

February 15th, 2006

I had the privilege to interview U.S. speed skater Derek Parra yesterday. Parra is going through a difficult chapter of life, including a divorce from his wife, but says his faith in Christ has sustained him.

    Nice article Tim, he seems like one of the good guys. I will be pulling for Derek to win another gold. GO USA!!!


  2. Another good article, Tim. Wish we had more like him and fewer like Johnny Wier.

    I have met Derek on several occasions and have also found him to be a class act. I’m very sad to hear about his marriage, but glad to hear his testimony through the tough times.
