I think that as people we are searching for something or somebody to place on that pedestal.  We normally never find ourselves good enough, so we find ourselves looking for somebody else to do it or be it.  We are continually trying to fill that spot....and we are constantly disappointed.  Why is it that we never learn?  After the second and third time of being disappointed you would think we would realize that something is missing.  But No, we just continue to mindlessly place non significant things and imperfect people up there to (gawk) at.  

 There is a lot of things I have been learning lately, and this being one, that the only way to not be disappointed at the end of the day, is to stop placing imperfect people up on the pedestal.  It's unfair to the person, they are only human like you.  We are setting up our relationships for failure, by filling a spot that is already taken.  Christ alone is the only one we should be placing on that pedestal.  He has perfectly claimed, earned, and deserved that spot.
