I hope you join me in praying for the island of Haiti,
Luke 11:
1And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3Give us day by day our daily bread. 4And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
I took advantage of the warm weather on Friday (45+ degrees) and played a round of golf with my father. I posted how much I enjoy the times I can spend with him. He is almost 70 (May 17), works a fifty hour week and is more active than some men half his age.
However, while waiting for him to arrive, I got in a conversation in the pro shop about Tiger Woods. I wrote before, how folks need to leave Tiger and his wife alone to work on their marriage or divorce and stop making it the lead into the news. The guy that worked there made a statement that makes sense to me.
"Tiger Woods maybe 34 years old, but may have the maturity of a teenager."
He went on to prove his point by comparing him to Michael Jackson.
· Both of them started their careers under the age of 5.
· Both had overbearing almost abusive fathers that lead them.
· Both by the age of 25, were baptized as one of the greatest in their endeavors.
· Both were separated from their father
(Tiger's Dad died in 2006, Michael separated himself from his father.).
Their fathers were the backbone of their inner circle.
· Without their father's dictating their careers, both men had their child-like demeanor take over their common sense.
Michael turned his mansion into an amusement park, while Tiger discovered power, sex, money.
· Both had battles with drugs (although alleged in Tiger's case).
While both achieved the highest degree of respect and success in their careers, they both had to deal with their own immaturity. Neither of them experienced life like a typical child growing into a teenager and into a young man. When they didn't have those restrictions from "real life" that their fathers' shielded them from, simply put, they lost their ever loving minds. Tiger had women throwing themselves at him. And like a child with chocolate cake, he ate, and ate, and ate until he was sick. He did the same thing with sex. He fucked, and fucked and fucked until he got caught. Most young men experience this in their late teens early twenties at college. A boy experiencing sex turns into an addict, trying to get as much as he could. Most of these men either get caught, catch a STD or hear those words that stop them dead in their tracks, "I'm pregnant and it's yours."
Now we don't know the story behind his admission of infidelity, and we may never know, however this theory I believe has some merit.
What do you think?
Well, That's my two cents,
Peace, Love and Much Respect
