for his glory

God gives us all different talents and abilities so that we may glorify him…

K.J. Choi: I just want to thank the Lord for just bringing me this win and all of the success I’ve had in my career. I’m just shocked at myself being able to win Jack and Tiger’s tournament. You know, I can’t really express in words what this means to me. All I can say is I just did my best. I just believed in the Lord, felt like He was with me all this time. I just tried to make myself as comfortable as I could, just pray hard, and just give it my best shot and approach it like a professional.

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.” -John 14:12-13

a glimpse of greatness

Every so often in sports someone special comes along, an athlete who seems to break all the rules and changes the nature of the game: Jordan, Ali, Mantle, Gretzky... and Tiger.

Today I got a glimpse of greatness. I went to the ATT National and watched Tiger tee off an amazing 300 yards. One day when they talk about the golf legend Tiger Woods, I'll be able to say I saw him play. Today I also saw KJ Choi, Stuart Appleby, Vijay Singh, and Anthony Kim (got his autograph).

It was a beautiful day and quite enjoyable following KJ (who began as the leader) around the course. It was slightly bizarre being part of the huge Korean horde following him around, but I certainly felt a sense of pride. There's something about seeing someone who looks like you doing well in a sport with so few minorities.

Anyways, boy do I still feel fortunate. Be thankful for your blessings.
