This is a forum where we share our opinions and how we feel about things. I'm sharing my opinions and how I feel. Tiger is classless and that is how I feel about it. You can disagree with me and I respect that.  |
Bolded: ...which is exactly what I'm doing. And you're correct...you're not the only one who sees it the way you do. But I'm also not the only one who sees it the way I do, although I'm probably more unusual, in that I'm not a participator in the conduct I'm defending.
I haven't done hardly any of the things I'm defending, yet I'm fully aware of what I HAVE done, and that causes my mouth to shut when it's time to condemn anyone's behavior. When I'm perfect, I'll start demanding perfection from others. Until then, I'll just love and respect others and always keep in mind that I need to see them through the eyes of Christ. And every time I look through his eyes, people look much differently.
When Jesus saw the people wondering as sheep having no shepherd, he was moved with compassion. The element of compassion makes it very difficult to condemn.
My heart has been and is still broken for what Tiger allowed himself to get involved in. My family and I pray for him everyday and believe that ultimately, he and his family will find the peace that he needs.
