The Only Way Out of the Woods

There's no end in sight to the coverage of Tiger Woods.  He seemingly had everything he ever wanted.  Fame and riches go far in some people's mind.   How could he do these despicable things, we ask.   The fact is, you and I have much in common with Woods in that we're in desperate need of Christ every minute of every day.  Sure, Woods needs help getting house in order, his marriage back together and gaining back his reputation, but his greatest need is a relationship with Jesus Christ.   That billion dollars of his will one day be squandered by his heirs (if he doesn't squander it first), but none of it will amount to a hill of beans when he stands before the Judge some day.    How easy it would be for me to sit in judgment of him myself... how easy it might be to just turn off the TV and try to forget about all the media sensationalization of the man's sin problem...  maybe I could spend some time in prayer for the man.    Maybe we all could... and maybe his eyes may be opened to the truth someday.    We could all pray that maybe these events will bring him to his knees in ways that a billion dollars never could.
