Sleeping with Tiger


I will admit, for some ignorant reason I had Tiger Woods on a footstool and shouldn't have. He's human. He's incredibly famous. Women find him attractive. He could buy an island. He is a sports professional. All of this equals eventual serious sin....I hate to say it, but that's reality.

Tonight I was babysitting and thoroughly enjoying the free cable as I do not have cable at my own house. I'm flipping between HGTV and TLC...my two absolute favorites. I love to decorate and I love to watch real life stories. TLC was covering an indepth look at our Frosted Flake Superstar. For a majority of the show they were interviewing one of the women who claims she had a relationship with Tiger during his marriage that lasted for quite a time.

She is a lost soul and my heart broke for her. She was willing to sleep with a married man, knowing he would never commit to her, and the love she had for him was blind. This was the heartbreaking part of the interview which was immediately before the part of the interview that literally surged rage through my body.

As the interview is finishing the host asks, "do you think what you did was wrong?"
The woman replies, "no, I dont think what I did was wrong, that's on him. I dont feel I need to apologize to his wife. Ya know...I'm a christian, I'm an honest person, I'm not going to lie about it."

From there on I have no idea what she said because I could hear Christ sobbing from heaven. Once again a "christian" has represented the body in a foul and devastating way. Which part of christian is she referring to? The lieing, the deceit, the infidelity, and lack of remorse? She just smeared God's name in a very dangerous way.

I understand affairs, I understand in reality they happen. I understand temptation and sin are two key ingredients for an affair and it's realistic that every couple will fight those temptations at some point. I don't understand how you can call yourself a Christian and show no remorse for his wife, have no regret about the action you engaged in, and no claim that what you did was wrong.

I'm a sinner. Everyday. My prayer is that I sob over my sin, that I REPENT and God does wipe me clean!! He doesn't forgive if we don't acknowledge the sin and repent.

I better get started on today's list....prayer and repentance here I come. (which includes praying for this woman because I feel for her and she can have God's forgiveness and grace like anyone else who asks for it)
