THE THANG

He hit 5 balls into the water on the same hole. Therefore, we will be doing Sergio Sets this morning, with every set we execute this morning in sets of 13’s.

Sergio Garcia became famous this past week for hitting 5 golf balls in the water on the 15th hole. He’s a really good golfer, currently ranked #10 in the world and was ranked as high as #2 in 2008. But he is now known for one of the greatest blunders in golf. Thousands of people witnessed his blunder live in the stands and millions of others around the world have seen this blunder since last Thursday.
I had the distinct honor of watching it all unfold live because a friend took me to The Masters last week and we were in the stands on that hole when it all happened. And as I reflected on it, I am so grateful that my biggest blunders in life are not seen on the same scale and magnitude as his. Of course, I said to myself, even I could play that hole in less than 13 strokes. When we compare ourselves to others, we can often overestimate ourselves and our abilities rather than sympathizing with others.
When the apostle Paul described himself in comparison to Jesus, here’s what he says in 1 Timothy 1:15….”The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost. But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.”
Paul is considered the greatest missionary in the history of the Christian faith, probably #2 behind Jesus. And yet Paul described himself as the worst of all sinners. That’s like Sergio saying he’s one of the worst golfers to ever play the Masters. And I don’t think Paul was speaking Southern-ese, where we deflect praise and humble brag. The more he knew Jesus the more he recognized his own sin and need for mercy.
I’m thankful my sin isn’t broadcast from the airwaves. But I hope that we will do three things….First, value Jesus more by recognizing our sin. He came to save sinners, of whom I am, and all of us are, among the worst. Second, that we would confess our sin to one another rather than waiting for a huge failure to blow up in our face. Third, that we would walk alongside each other in grace and love when our brothers fail. Because we know very well that we could make the some mistakes.
MOLESKIN:
I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to VQ and appreciated the patience of the PAX as I tried to keep us on track. We even welcomed PhatPat from The Morg, who designated himself Co-Q, which resulted in a vote for a new F3 name, which we are still voting to confirm. Having only been in F3 for about 2 months, I’m appreciating the challenge of working out, and now leading a workout, but more so connecting with guys around being better men, husbands, fathers, and intentional investors in our city.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Many announcements were made, among them BrewRuck, a Crawfish Boil to benefit a ministry Bombay serves with, and the World Relief Cup of Nations “not a sport” tournament. I believe these are all on April 28th, but YHC did not write them down. If other announcements were made, I apologize. Contact Gus/Shoestring for Brewruck, Bombay for the Crawfish Boil, and Cheesteak for Cup of Nations.
