Somebody is clearly lying….

I think the Rocket would like a couple of minutes in the boys room with Mr. McNamee….what do you think?

I ask myself, self, who has the most to gain by lying in this situation?  Who has the most to lose from the truth?

I’m reminded of a bible verse, “humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and he will lift you up.”

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been where Clemens is right now.  You know you are wrong.  You know you have messed up; but you are fighting to defend your pride at all cost. 

Brother Clemens needs to learn, like all of us, give it up, come clean bro….fly and be free!

A positive Christian alternative to the bestselling The Secret, this book reveals the secret things of God — secrets about God, about happiness, about relationships, and about your purpose. These tested spiritual truths reveal principles that make life work.

With millions of copies of The Secret in print, countless readers are left wondering how its teachings fit with the truths found in Scripture. Though many teachings in The Secret may have shocked those of the Christian faith, believers have also been reminded of the deep spiritual hunger that exists in all of us — the desire for a power beyond the human to work change in our individual lives.

Even Christians who know and claim biblical truths often don’t know how to use them. Author Dr. Henry Cloud shows readers how to unlock the treasure of these truths and ignite their power in their lives.

There is, indeed, a powerful attraction at work in the universe, but rather than being between an impersonal universe and our own thoughts, this attraction is between the personal Creator of the universe and the creation he loves.

Marion Jones cheated.  She lied.  She attempted to cover it all up.  At first she was just like so many other elite athletes who have done the same thing.  But, Marion has done something very different.  She confessed her wrongs…publicly, completely and with humility.  She has voluntarily given back her medals.  She has stepped back from the sport.  She has remorsefully apologized to all she has hurt, on national t.v. and with genuine brokenness.  This takes real courage.  If only Barry Bonds, Mike Vick, Floyd Landis and many others would have the courage to do the same thing. 

Yes, Marion is my new hero.  She has exhibited true courage.  We could all learn something from her.  We all make mistakes.  We all have endless pride that seeks to do anything to cover up our failings.  Learn from Marion.  Be human.  Revealing is the first step to healing.

Thanks Marion for your greatest victory of all.  Winning in the human race.  May we all have the courage to follow your example.
