Jacoby is a man, nothing more. Created by God. The same as everybody else in that gym. Is it wrong for me to be placing him so high, wanting his autograph? Was this support for a small-town hero...or was it turning dangerously into something else?

Whirlwind, God is tugging at your heart strings and you are listening. We have no heros in this world save Jesus Christ . He is our Hero. He is our Idol and you my brother have learned a very valuable lesson. The only one we should be putting on a pedistal is our Lord and Saviour , Jesus Christ.
I think this is what is wrong with our value system in our countries that the media has elevated these people so high and young people are falling into these traps because they want to look up to these people. But like you said .... they are just people like you and I and how are they any better than us ?
God Bless you Whirlwind and I hope you enjoyed your Chinese food. We are a blessed people and don't you forget it.
