SFT

9/6/11 Those initials had an impact on Luke, the golfer in the film, “Seven Days in Utopia,” as in his golf game he sought to see it, feel it and trust it. Can he learn to “never follow traditions for traditions sake?” Can he follow the voice of truth (& not his dad’s)? Will he choose to no longer play for acceptance because excellence will be his coach?

Though Roger Ebert’s (thumbs up, thumbs down critic) review said he would “rather eat a golf ball than see that movie again,” I applaud this somewhat Hallmark-like movie, not only because it’s decent but because it gives hope for those who might not know their life’s purpose. There’s more to life than winning putts, first place trophies or fat paychecks. Walk in purpose.

SFT "See His Love, Feel His Presence, Trust His Word". A powerful message for life.

During yesterday’s televised Deutsche Bank Championship, Webb Simpson (unheard of to me) sank the putt in the playoffs to win the tourney and become #1 in the FedEx Cup point standings. Following that winning birdie putt he lifted his index finger and pointed heavenward. During His acceptance he first acknowledged the Lord. Wow, now I’ll know his name. I’m glad I heard the speech because I saw no print record of it today in newspapers or on-line.

I think SFT is more than a part of Simpson’s golf game; it’s an integral part of his life’s journey.
