A PRIZE WORTH MORE THAN A GREEN JACKET

A writer who has been an encouragement to me, and I hope will become friend is Kenneth Kemp. He writes an excellent blog called LEADERFOCUS. I have listed it on the blogroll of LIFE MATTERS. I would encourage you to subscribe.

Recently he wrote about the 2010 Masters and the point-counterpoint between the careers and marriages of Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, Ken captured poignantly and powerfully what many of us as Christians had observed and have come to appreciate:

"But as Phil walked off the green and into the crowd, he found his wife. They wrapped their arms around each other. Phil held on to his Amy way longer than usual. Like they couldn’t let go. Like they wouldn’t let go. Like nothing can take this away. Nothing.

And as the global audience watched, tight throated with deep emotion welling up at the sight of these two, it was as though the whole world came to terms with what Tiger has lost. And that’s way more than a green jacket. Way more.

Yes, Phil has the 2010 Green Jacket. That’s a good thing. Even better – he has Amy."
