Tiger Woods suffered injury before, during, or after a car crash around 2:30 AM Friday morning.  Rumors are flying:  Some say Tiger suffered his injuries as a result of the single vehicle crash.  The police report says that his wife used a golf club to break out a window in order to extricate him from the vehicle.  A couple of women are saying that a friend of theirs is having an affair with Tiger.  The lady accused of having an affair says she’s not friends at all with the two who are making the accusation and that their making up a story for the money.  Some even say that the rumor of the affair prompted Tiger’s wife to clobber him with the golf club.

I’m reminded of another who was accused of an affair.  Potiphar’s wife said in Genesis 39:14, “See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:”  As a result of this accusation Potiphar sent Joseph to the dungeon.  Potiphar should have done what anybody should do in such circumstances, he should have gathered his facts.  A decision based on an emotional reaction without all of the facts is very likely to be a poor decision.  I’m not saying that Tiger is innocent.  I’m just saying, let’s not send him to the dungeon before we have the facts.

Have you read or heard about the couple who somehow managed to crash a state dinner hosted by Barak Obama?  According to the New York Times this couple, who a White House official says have been confirmed as uninvited guests, crashed what was considered to be the most important dinner held in the White House this year.  No one seems to know how they made it past security.  The incident, which occurred last Tuesday, is a huge embarrassment to the Secret Service as well as the White House.  Within hours photos were posted on the couple’s Facebook site.  The Secret Service has launched an investigation.

Jesus said: ”When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Luke 14:7-11
