Yesterday was just a good day. It was Father's Day. The U.S. Open was on the television. Church was good and is the basis for this post. An associate pastor presented the message. The message was very good and was about the question asked Jesus: Who is the greatest among us. (meaning the disciples). We are to seek being servants and not being greatest. The scripture: The exalted shall be made humble and the humbled shall be exalted.
Rory mcElroy won the open easily and was an shining example of the humbled being exalted as only months ago, he blew a nice lead going into the final round of the Masters (a very humbling experience). How refreshing it was to see him get the trophy and to see what appears to be a young man not full of himself. Stay humble Rory.
Contrast that to the recent headlines regarding the Hot Dog congressman that just resigned in shame. He was exalted by his peers and was pegged to be the next mayor of NYC. When facing adversity, did he show any humility? Nope. Now he is humbled.
And America is all the better for both events.
McIlroy’s performance at the U.S. Open was truly dominating! He set tournament records for the lowest scores after 36, 54, and 72 holes. I don’t usually watch golf, but found myself tuned to the final two rounds over the weekend. It will be interesting to see what his victory will do for the rest of his career.
