Good Morning, God,
Lord, our heroes are falling again-this time some of our baseball heroes. Some are falling farther than others. Some of the ballplayers are getting 50-game suspensions. A-Rod is getting a 211-game suspension-the rest of this season and all of next, essentially.
However, Lord, our system of governance says that one accused may appeal and play while the appeal is in process. So A-Rod is still playing third base for the Yankees, but is playing among a great chorus of boos. The true fans of baseball don't like it, Lord. The true fans more appreciate what the other 12 players are doing-accepting their 50-game suspension without pay to get things over with.
Lord God, who calls us to live lives of integrity, let us examine ourselves and ask ourselves whether we are more like the 12 or more like the one-then let us act in the future with the better integrity.
In Jesus' name, Amen
