And forgiving!!!???? ...... “Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” Matthew 18:21, 22, KJV.
Now in view of what I am sure will be someone's response, do we have to forgive someone who is not "our brother?" If so, how many times? Does this passage of scripture (or the principle thereof) apply to anyone who asks us?

It applies to anyone who sins against me, whether they ask or not.
Has anyone seen the new Nike/Tiger Woods commercial? This only re-enforces my view that anything we see from TW is calculated and scripted only to rebuild TW's image.
The commercial made me want to . It uses his dead dad's voice with TW looking into the camera with a sad face.

I'm not wanting to vomit, but I didn't like the commercial. Disappointed. But today at 10:42 I'll rooting my butt off!
Have fun. I hate watching golf, too slow and boring for me. I'd rather be on the greens playing a round.
Many share your sentiments. What's funny is, I have the attention span of a gnat and I can't sit through a movie to save my life. But golf, especially if Tiger's playing? I can sit in a chair for hours, no problem!
The commercial...I get what Nike's trying to do, which I believe is, reestablish Tiger as a "pitchman". They're not trying to sell a particular product and this isn't the time of year when they introduce new golf products (November is when they introduce new stuff). Tiger's even wearing a hat that's several generations old.
But clearly, there are a LOT of "Tiger-haters" out there right now and what Nike is doing is handing a can of gasoline to people who are already sitting around a fire. I'd love to meet the people who sat at a conference table and said, "Hey, this would be a good idea." Sorry, but the appearance is that they're trying to profit off of Tiger's misbehavior and it seems they'd run from that. I just think it's terrible marketing.
And I'm bummed that Tiger didn't say, "No." He looks pathetic in the commercial but maybe he's not in a leveraging position with Nike to say, "No." Either way, I'm really bummed at the commercial. Don't like it at all.

I just had another thought....since you're a golfer, maybe you and I could hook up and play! I think we're in the same time zone so we're not that far apart. We could settle all our differences on the course! (hundred dollars a hole, skins)

ha! It wouldn't be pretty, you'd likely beat me pretty badly. I'm terrible at driving off the tee. I can chip and putt great, but driving off the tee is embarrassingly bad.
But I love trying. The courses are usually so beautiful and serene... when I'm not yelling and throwing my clubs in the pond.
