The whole world is fixated on Tiger Woods. Why should we care about him more than any other human being just because he is a sports celebrity? (I admittedly not a golf fan). I don't have anything against him. I just don't see the allure of celebrity status. I prayed for him as I would for any other person.

I think it is a shame that we elevate celebrities to a higher interest/importance than the guy next door who works at the factory. Princess Diana and Mother Teresa died on the same day. Guess who got 90% of the MSM attention. IMO, Princess Di was a pampered celebrity born with a titanium spoon in her mouth whereas Mother T was a compassionate person who dedicated her life to helping the most neglected and "undesirable" people of society yet Di was celebrated for weeks and still remembered and MT is a blip in everyone's attention. Did Di do some good things? Sure. She did give a small fraction of her time and resources. MT gave her ALL. Yet, the world was enamored with Di because she was pretty and had social status.

I propose that the we care as much or more about the people who give their lives to the service of others rather than the rich and famous. If you want to follow Woods situation then great but, why not think about the forgotten people and ask "how can I appreciate and bless that person today?".
