Master or Lord

Matthew 26:21-22 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? This week starts the most exciting week of the year for every golf fan -…

Unencumbered

Daniel 10:3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were filled. One is the best things about the Spring golf season is the ability to shed those sweaters, jackets and winter gloves. It may mostly be mental, but…

Feels Stupid

Joshua 5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. I remember our local golf pro's reply to a student after he…

Give Until It Hurts

Acts 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet; and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Expectations

Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

Weight Shift

Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. We all would love to have the golf swing of Ernie Els or Adam Scott. Instead, we are closer to the action of Charles Barkley than…

Brackets Busted

Psalms 145:3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness if unsearchable. Unfortunately for most golf fans and media, Tiger Woods lost his match yesterday ending his quest for yet another WGC Championship.
