Tiger, Tiger, Tiger, where do I begin? Okay I guess right here - cheating on your wife is wrong. No need to go into deep detail of the moral implications of the statement because everyone knows what they are. The ones who don’t, wouldn’t care if I began to spout them off anyway. So, the meat of the reason why it’s wrong is that when you get married there is supposed to be trust, love, and understanding. I can say these things with a clear mind and heart at this point in time in life. I’m not judging him in anyway, all I’m saying is that this man got himself caught up. Yes, he got himself caught up. Men, we have to begin to take responsibility for ourselves. We can blame everyone else for our own faults and mistakes. I don’t care what the opposite sex throws in our face and what your boys deem to be “What a man should do!”
Take a look at yourself, what do you see? Myself, someone who is far from perfect and cannot judge anyone else because I’m not perfect. Matter of fact, I’m probably worse than a lot of people know or realize. But I take full responsibility for myself, which in my opinion is where Tiger really failed. Reason being is he didn’t step up and accept what he’d done. Not for everyone else but for himself and his family. A man is more than just toughness, and how many women you can bed. It’s about being able to realize you’re first of all faulty, and second of all a servant to not just the man upstairs but to your family. Have I failed my family before, yes! For that alone I did what I thought could never be done and begged them to forgive. Whether or not Tiger regains his money from sponsors and tournaments, or even respect from his peers and fans, he must first get his spiritual forgiveness (I don’t know who he prays to, I’m rockin’ the big JC myself) and lastly, but no where near least, the love and respect of his family. Without them life bears a remarkable resemblance to sucking.
A final note, some people like to see someone with money and fame have a downfall. Some people like the fact that individuals who are prosperous can go through the same struggles as regular folks. The problem with that is we are all still human and better yet Gods children. Tiger Woods still has children, children that will love him because he's dad not Tiger Woods. Remember it can happen to you too, how will you like to be treated for your mistakes, supported or crucified?

Tiger made many bad decisions, and yes, most people would call him a dog. However, we are all sinful and calling one person out is the equivalent of throwing stones in a glass house. We as humans attach a hierarchy to sins, where God does not. Yes, he is in the wrong. Yes, he hurt his family. Yes, he did it multiple times. But how often do we commit sin? All the time. How often do we commit the same sin many times? All the time. How often do we hurt the ones we love? Very often. I think we as a society need to leave him alone and let him work out his issues with God and his family. Whatever the outcome will be what is right for them.
