After 20 years of dishonesty Mark McGwire finally came clean about using steroids. Let me start by saying I forgive McGwire. However, is it just me or haven’t we all moved on a long time ago. The way he conducted himself in front of Congress in 2005 was all we really needed to know about McGwire and his steroid use. He says he wanted to speak out at the hearing however his lawyers advised him otherwise. That would have still been 15 years after he started taking steroids.
McGwire and many other players cheated themselves and cheated the game. The main reason he told the truth now is because he knew the heat would be on as he gets back into the game as hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals.
McGwire says he started using steroids prior to the 1990 season consequently he’s been carrying this unnecessary weight for about 20 years. Hebrews 12:1 says, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. It’s hard to run when you are carrying unnecessary weight. Is there any weight you need to get rid of today? Unnecessary weight slows you down and delays you from reaching the blessed place God desires you to be in. Change those bad habits and come clean about any lies you may have told. Then you will be able to start running toward your blessing.
It's about time he finally told the truth. Wonder if others in baseball will come forward with their confessions...
