Don't Think You'll Never Get Caught...

I love it when people succeed! Whether it's in the classroom, in life, in athletics, or in any other area. I love seeing people work hard and achieve success. There are so many examples of people who have put lots of heart, effort, sweat and tears in their efforts to succeed (like Tim Tebow and Gabby Douglas). I've been saddened in the past 24 hours with all the stories coming out about cycling great Lance Armstrong. Having tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, he's now being stripped of what I consider one of the greatest sporting accomplishments of all time, winning seven Tour de France titles. He also received a lifetime ban from competitive cycling. Armstrong said he will no longer fight the allegations and will accept the consequences. For a man who battled cancer and won, and who's done so much for cancer research, this is such sad news. Unfortunately we're seeing more and more stories like this one. People achieving great things only to find out they may have cheated. Unfortunately the use of performance enhancing drugs continues to grow. The science of using them so that people won't get caught also grows. It's such a trap for people to think that they'll get away with breaking rules. Unfortunately for them, the hidden and secret things of shame will be revealed. Whether it's on earth or before the Lord, they will be exposed. Don't feel like you have to cheat to win or get ahead. The Lord's the one who's in control of that :) I don't know if Lance Armstrong really did use performance enhancing drugs. But the truth will come out.
