Farewell, Mr. Woods

I just learned that Tiger Woods’ dad, Earl, passed away today after struggling with cancer for quite a while. It’s funny, I don’t even know the man, but it made me sad. This man raised one of the finest athletes the world has ever known. Not only is Woods an amazing athlete, but he seems like a pretty amazing person. He has his charity that he uses to give back to the community. It’s nice to see when people don’t forget where they’ve come from. I’ve always admired Woods since I started watching him play, and I truly believe that he has earned every good thing that has come his way thus far.

Today is a sad day for the golf world. Earl Woods was a big factor in his son Tiger becoming the golf star he is today. But more importantly he helped shape Tiger’s moral fiber – something far more important than any golf talent. I don’t agree with everything Tiger believes, but that’s ok. Today I hope that he knows the peace and comfort that ONLY God can bring.
