The Sun Is Out

Asian Carp, A Nerd For Governor, Henry Ford - Michigan boasts a lot of things, days with sunshine isn't one of them. Today does look promising... let's get past 9 o'clock first. January and February wouldn't be sooooo long if the sun were out a few more days. But I love Michigan and like everything else in life, with the good comes some bad.

Not A Cloud In The Sky - I am a fan of Tiger Woods. When his private struggles became public problems I wasn't surprised. Sure, I was disappointed but my opinion of him didn't change. I am a fan because of what he does tee to green. I was never swooned by a public image or ad campaigns. He is history (no pun intended)! Bob Jones, Ben Hogan & Jack Nicklaus were the greatest this sport had ever seen, yet we are in the midst of one's golf career that will possibly lower all three to second class status. I couldn't have been happier to hear he is speaking publicly tomorrow...marriage, soul, forgiveness, addictions, reputation; sure I am pulling for his personal life, of course! But I am still a fan anticipating a modern day grand slam by this guy. Let's get on with it.

9:00 AM There Are The Clouds - I have lost track of how many people I have known in my life that have succumbed to some sort of moral failure. From my early years in the parsonage I can remember my parents grieving over another report of divorce or church split due to an affair of some sort. I guess I am never surprised because it just happens too frequently. So when word of Billionaire Sport Star Athlete of the Decade Tiger Woods was "found out" it really didn't produce the heartache normally associated with these type of revelations.

Legends of The Fall - I am not a fan of Ben because of his golf game. I don't follow in Ron's gallery because of his miraculous recovery shots. I don't scan the news on Phil to see where he ranks in GIR or driving accuracy. These men are my heroes because of their faith in Christ. I am watching history. Lives are being changed. Evil strongholds are being destroyed. Their Lives are legendary, and I have a front row seat.

The Son Always Shines - Join me in praying for our Christian leaders on a regular basis. These men and women need our help. The temptations are real, the tendencies are common and the tragedies will continue to be devastating. Much is at stake and you can bet the devil is working as hard as he can. We will continue to hear of those who have fallen, meanwhile let's keep pulling for and celebrating those men and women who stay true to the Lord. They are our true heroes!
