Tiger Woods Accident

You may have heard this before;

There are three sides to every story. Your side. My side and the truth. I heard this from a man that had a great influence in my life. Pastor Robert Armstrong. Pastor of Warrendale Community Church and an immense student of the bible.

God has a lot to say about the truth. Although this is not going to be a story about the Bible, but you can’t talk about truth, and leave the author, originator, and the embodiment of the truth out. To find the truth and then living the truth are two totally different events in any one’s life. This is what I would like to talk about here.

This is about Tiger Woods. I know that so much has been written about the whole story of the accident and the infidelity, but I wanted to put my two cents in.

I have such a mindset on the truth. Every where I go, everything I see and hear, I am obsessed with the lack of truth in our society. No one tells the truth anymore. I would challenge you go out and find truth in the streets and cities of this great land, and most of all….in your own heart.

My life used to always be about lies. I Never gave it a second thought to tell a lie. Now I am much better at it today, but what is it about telling the truth that we struggle so much with?

The definition from the dictionary for the word “hypocrite”, is a person who pretends to have virtues and principles, that he doesn’t actually posses. It comes from a Greek word that means, ” a stage actor, one speaking from under a mask.” Now I know your thinking of a couple of people who you would like to apply this to, but first I want you to take a long hard look at the person in the mirror.

I am not here to pour out more guilt on this man than the media already has. Our prayers should be with Tiger Woods children, wife, and Tiger Woods himself. Because you know that you and me in that same situation, could have done the same thing.

Tiger Woods grew up in a good home. I don’t know all the details, but for the most part, he had good parents who instilled in him good morals and character to make him what he is today. Not just the best golfer and sports figure of our time, but the fiber and quality of a good man. A good catch for any women, and believe me, there were lots of them knocking on his door.

A handsome guy. A guy of solid morals and quality character. All of Tiger Woods endorsements, all of Tiger Woods wins, and all of Tiger Woods net worth, put him on a shelf above all of us. The crown jewel of what every parent wants for their daughter. Just think of what it would be like! But with all this comes the recipe for the perfect storm that not to many people have been able to withstand.

All of his family background, training and good moral character would be put through the test, as it is with all of us. All of us have been through the same thing. The spotlight and fame might not be there, but we have all gone through what Tiger Woods has gone through to some degree or another. Before you get ready to ridicule him, how did you make it through your crisis? Maybe you were able to hide it from everyone’s eyes, and swept it away before anyone could see.

I didn’t make it through the fire of my test. I won’t elaborate the details, but lots of people were hurt and lives were changed forever because of me. Only the people involved will ever know what I’m talking about, but with Tiger Woods, the whole world is watching his every move. He has no place to hide.

When I heard the news about this whole thing, I was as shocked as everyone else was. Tiger Woods? It can’t be? Not him? He would be the last guy I ever would think this could happen too.

Tiger was doing his best to hide and run from the truth. He wanted to protect that image he always portrayed. You know the one who pretends to have virtues and principles that they don’t really possess. Or does he?

I do thing that Tiger Woods has those qualities deep down inside. You could always hear it when ever he talked. You can’t fake those kind of things. Yes he did make some wrong decisions. As we all do will we are growing up. I do think that he is coming back to the truth. I pray that it is not to late for Tiger Woods wife and him to make things right. She is growing also and I hope that together they will learn from all this and walk with the truth by their side.
