Mike, I lost my job and went to jail in my past because of all the things that Tiger talked about: selfishness, greed, living by a different set of rules. So I know a little bit about these moments firsthand though not on the same publicity scale.

Yes my mom stood by me as mom's tend to do (while in another state) but no one from my work, including the Christians I worked with were there beside me or offered a hand. Just two guys I knew from a beer league softball team; one visited me in jail, the other let me crash at his house for close to a year while God rebuilt my life. Neither one active believers but believers in second chances. If it wasn't for them...boy.

If I'm not mistaken, that's what you're talking about here: why aren't we as Christians the ones to offer a hand out of the pit?

Now one little tug of reality, if Tiger was Notah Begay, Tiger might be there for Notah, but I'm afraid Nike would not.

I disagree, Cindy – when a person holds himself out to be more than just a private person, when he accepts millions of dollars to be a spokesman for a public company, when they actively seek the limelight, that person, by law, has a diminished expectation of privacy. You cant have your cake and eat it too – you can't seek to be a public figure and insist on your privacy – the two don't mix very well…

Absolutely, Jay! We get too focused on the world and forget the eternal things.

Tiger doesn't need to work harder at what he will surely fail at again, he needs the Holy Spirit and the redemptive power of Christ to change him from the inside out!

Mike, why are we paying attention to this? Tiger needs forgiveness, sure, and he certainly needs God to touch his life, but there are many more important things in the world than Tiger Woods' infidelity! It's amazing to me that people pay attention to this sort of thing, and completely ignore stories such as Dick Cheney admitting to knowingly sanctioning war crimes during the Bush administration – and being proud of it!

Don't forget that people *died* because of the Bush administration's policies. No one has died yet because of Tiger Woods' indiscretions. When I hear that stock trading virtually halted during Tiger's news conference, I think that a bit of perspective is badly needed, not only by the press but also by the American people.
