Where Are Our Priorities
I am sure to get some kickback about this blog!
Over the last few weeks and months, so much attention has been given to things that have little significance to us as a country, families or even individuals. This came to a head for me as I was sitting in the Atlanta airport waiting for my flight to Richmond, VA. The television was on CNN and all attention was on “Where will Lebron James play next year?” I too was caught up in it as I waited as long as possible to board my flight, waiting for the decision. Standing watching the TV, a young man whom I did not know, approached me and asked “Where is he going”.
After I boarded my flight, I thought, “With all the things going on in the world why is everyone so caught up about where Lebron James plays basketball”. But as I reminisce, it became obvious that we are a country (world) caught up in unimportant things. Witness the months of the Tiger Woods saga, Jesse James & Sandra Bullock breakup, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan; the list goes on. While I love golf and am a great Tiger Woods fan, I felt in overload on information. Each of these people made personal choices and should all suffer the consequences of their decision without the world having to weigh in on it.
Could it be that it is easier to deal with insignificant things than bite the bullet on those things that can impact our lives and the country?

Excellent post, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little homework on that. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him ~ Spring Steinbacher

I detest any of this private talk regarding Tiger Woods’ and Elin’s divorce. He’s a all-star athlete, let’s focus on his craft.

@ Old Man Darren Buffet. I think we are in agreement. My point is Tiger & Elin’s divorce is their personal business and the world does not need to weigh in on it. We are in overload from the media on things that should be personal

It’s unfortunate Tiger and Elin can’t work out their problems. They looked like a nice pair. But hopefully everybody can stop concentrating on their personal difficulties and get back to following his career once more.

@Mark Smith. It is unfortunate. Hopefully the public will stay out of their lives and they can give proper attention to their children,
