Tiger Woods and Focus

Op-Ed Columnist: The Frozen Gaze

First, I want to encourage you to read this article.
Secondly, I would like to reflect on the comparisons between life in Christ and Tiger's ability to focus. I find G.K. Chesterton's quote to be challenging...."Christianity has not so much been tried and found wanting as it has been tried and found difficult." What would happen if we, by the power of God's grace, could bring the intensity and focus to our walk with God through Christ that Tiger brings to the game of golf? Just what might happen? As I shared with the Epiclesis service folk on Saturday night....being a disciple, an apprentice of Jesus, a follower of Jesus is extremely difficult on our own strength and power....this is a co-operative journey -- between the God who loves us in Christ and ourselves.

My question for the week is this...how does one learn to become as focused on one's spiritual journey as Tiger is on golf? What does that look like? How do we do it?

What are your thoughts?
