I’ll admit it. I was down right giddy after hearing that Mark McGwire had been denied entrance to the baseball Hall of Fame. I hate steroids and what they’ve done to the game I love. Believe it or not McGwire took ’em, so did Barry. 

But in my smugness, I was reminded that like McGwire we’re all not going to get voted into Heaven’s Hall of Fame. We’re not even supposed to be invited. We’ve all sinned and if I choose to point the finger at Big Mac, I really need to point it back at myself. Sin is sin and I’m no better.

Thankfully we have a Savior that helps us bypass the vote and go straight in. Left to my own means I’m only worthy of hell. Thank you Lord for sending us your Son! We are all unworthy, but thank you for His free gift of new life!
