It's hard for me to worry about whether he did or didn't.

It has been all over the news. Did he or didn't he use steroids or growth enhancing hormones. Roger Clements. The famous baseball pitcher. I realize he may have lied. I realize the Jones woman did and is going to jail for the maximum jail time. I realize she chose to deny the truth to millions of people who trusted her ability and even continued to do so with adamant, profound words. I read the top news stories every morning before I start my devotion. Somehow my concern over his steroid use isn't too great. Instead, I am worried for the mother who lost her four precious children at the hands of her angry husband, their father. Thrown off a bridge. Instead, I worry about the innocent children dodging car bombs as they travel to school. Instead, I worry about the people who will never return to their family, losing their life in war. Instead, I think about the children at East Lincoln school who do not have food when they come home, their only good meal is at school. What do they do during the summer? Instead, I think about our friend Andrew, battling cancer with every ounce he has left, trying to see age 25. Instead, I think about the patients I take care of daily who have no idea who will take care of them and how they can afford to live. Instead, I think about families torn apart by addictions, betrayal, and abandonment. Somehow, the debate surrounding this famous person, shows how misplaced our country has become. What should be debated upon? The issues that are causing children to go to bed hungry, falling asleep with the sound of gunfire, never having your dad or mother come home again, wondering if anyone really knows you need help, wondering if you will have another birthday. Swing your bat at those problems. No pitch is good enough to strike all those out.
