Another one bites the dust

So now Aaron Hernandez has been arrested and arraigned on murder charges and is awaiting a bail hearing later on. What amazes me more than anything about these cases is the shock and awe people have when a celebrity or pro athlete find themselves behind bars for crimes like this. When Steve McNair was murdered by his girlfriend in 2009 everyone was blown away, no pun intended, and the saddest of all was that he was a married man with a wife and kids. I never would have thought OJ would be capable of what he was convicted of. Who knew? God knew. God knows a man's heart. Just because someone has a string of platinum songs, or a storied and well-paid movie career, or is a gifted athlete and a star on the field, court, ice, or diamond, that doesn't mean they aren't a HUMAN first. Humans are fallen by our very nature. We are born with a sin nature. While it is very sad that another gifted athlete has succumbed to his arrogance and lifestyle, what is saddest is that a human life was taken and that people are shocked that another HUMAN BEING is the one that took the life. Our pop culture has exploded like a bomb and when people are more consumed with the antics of the horrendously over-exposed Kardashians than they are about making sure their children know about faith, God's will for their lives, their relationship with the Lord, Houston, we have a problem here. This is simply one more sign of the times of God's Church Age. The love of many are waxing colder by the day, and yes, even the rich and famous.
