11/29/10 DON'T BLAME GOD
NFL receiver, Steve Johnson, blamed God after he dropped game winning pass. Johnson should have faced his failure and 'fessed up his need for God rather than blaming God.
All of us from Adam to Steve Johnson have dropped the ball, and God said, "You have failed Me 24/7, but if you call on Me by faith, I will forgive your failure and make you more than a champion."
