IN THE SPOTLIGHT

If you watch the news, read a newspaper or surf the web, you have heard my town Hattiesburg, Mississippi mentioned this week..........we are in The Spotlight............


ONE REASON......... The NFC Championship Game being played this Sunday 90 miles South in New Orleans between The New Orleans Saints and The Minnesota Vikings. Now you say:
What does that have to do with Hattiesburg? Well, 98% of football fans here are Saints fans because Mississippi does not have an NFL Team. After all these years this is the very first time The Saints have played in a championship game much less had a chance to go to the Super Bowl!

However...Vikings QB Brett Favre lives here and was the star QB of University of Southern Mississippi's 's Golden Eagles here. He is beloved by everyone here! So the football fans in Hattiesburg are as the saying goes; "between a rock and a hard place" when it comes to this game. WHO do we cheer for? They ran a poll on our local TV station and it's pretty divided.

Those interviewed are saying the same thing Hubby and I discussed; We will cheer for both and may the best team win................:)

That scenario has us in the local spotlight but it's the problems of this guy that has trust us into the international spotlight........

Little did we know that a famous sex addiction therapist was practicing here at Pine Grove Behavioral Clinic and yes, Tiger is here in therapy with him.

The clinic is having to build a higher fence to keep the paparazzi at bay.......

Owners of businesses located around the facility have been offered enormous sums of money to let them get up on their rooftops..........

Every news media from around the world is camped out here! Even The National Enquirer!

Now my question is, Why does the world care about the personal problems of Tiger Woods?

I think they should let the guy alone! He's trying to get help for a problem that caused eminence suffering for him and his family. He did NOTHING to us! His sex life is NONE of our business!

It does not affect his athletic ability. Why does the media LOVE to build up celebrities and REVEL in tearing them down? I will never understand this! My prayers are with this man and his family that he will be helped and be able to be a good father to his two beautiful children. He is a very talented man who has much to offer society if we allow him to handle his problems in private.

That's my opinion !

Have a great weekend everyone!! :)
