Michael Phelps and the Arizona Cardinals

Yesterday, John and I got home from our super bowl party and were feeling bummed.  We had a great party with all of our friends, but there was something else disturbing us.  John was feeling down because the Cardinals lost and I was feeling blue because there was a little blurb on the news after the game that Michael Phelps was caught smoking pot.  We started talking about why events like those make us feel so horrible and we figured out that we expect too much from either a sports team or a famous athlete, etc.  We look up to PEOPLE too much, we expect so much from our sinful, mortal bodies.  We all want someone to look up to, but we have to know that person is always going to let us down in some way.  The only one that won't let us down is God, plain and simple.  He may not give us everything we want but if we focus on Him and His calling for our lives then we will not be disappointed in Him.
