I've always been a sports nut and there's very little in the way of athletics I haven't done. I have lots of favorites through the years...Barry Bonds, Greg Norman, Willie McGee, Tim Lincecum, J.T. Snow, Joe Morgan, Larry Bird, Julius Erving.....
But no one close to Tiger Woods. I told my wife when he was in college, "This guy's gonna be special." And what a thrill it has been to watch him. And it's hard to believe it's already been 14 years.
So today is the big day. He's facing reporters for the first time in just under an hour. And Thursday will be a national holiday for me! I will be virtually unmovable from my couch as I watch him play in the Masters.
I hope he finds success on the golf course, but more so, I hope he finds peace off the golf course and settles the issues that nearly destroyed him. I have no condemnation and I hope he's welcomed with open arms and treated well!!
i do not care one whit about mr wood's golf carreer.
My! aren't you petulant today!

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.
