I'm not sure what to say about Lance Armstrong now - all I can say is that I'm of the minority that never bought it. Some of the things he said about his cancer recovery just... weren't right, let's say it that way.
I've never met Adrian Peterson and I really have no more stake in his reputation than you see in my screenname, but here's his rap sheet: Adrian said the wrong thing once, and got in a shoving match with a rentacop once, that no doubt ended up better for the rentacop than it could have.
To see him gratuitously compared to uh, this Armstrong character, who proclaimed that his recovery from cancer was his own doing and that G-d had nothing to do with it... trying to spatter Adrian with the same matter, if you know what I'm saying, that's all over Armstrong right now... that just ain't right...
What I find truly tedious is how anyone [esp. public figures are ‘heroic’ for ‘beating’ cancer - please. Credit where credit is due first to God, then maybe the medical community although even they belittle the best ‘medicine’ money can buy imho - CHIROPRACTIC- it’s really all about getting the DNA and nervous system messages to function fully and properly.
Nothing against MDs, drugs and surgeries but the first and best method of healing, the straightening or ‘unkinking’ the subluxations in the spine, is truly the best and the way God intended for most healing to occur in our bodies. The famous folks are often just endorsing those with the deepest pockets who ‘rub’ each other backs and ‘grease’ each others palms.
If future developments don’t vindicate my statements, I fully expect to see the real truths in these stories revealed to us in Heaven. Then again Heaven may just be so great that all the memories of this world would just be a passing fading sigh of the ultimate relief.
