Tim Tebow
This morning as I was reading through The Wall Street Journal I found an article on Tim Tebow. I’m not that into sports, but I decided to read it because the title was “Jim Gray’s Prayer for Tim Tebow.” As I read, I began to laugh. The whole article was about the things Tim Tebow couldn’t do! Such as
“He can’t fly. He can’t walk on water.” Ect.
But what caught me in the middle was not what the author intended to point out. It was a list of what Tim Tebow could do. (Now, most of you may know that Tebow is a really profound Christian, and is not silent about his faith. He is also a really good football player.) So in the middle of this article was a description of what Tebow does do “He doesn’t get mad at people, he doesn’t slam himself in his house when he is upset! He doesn’t blame other people! And when you tell him he could improve, HE SAYS “I sure can!”It isn’t normal! Tim Tebow is a weirdo!”
WOW GUYS! This is how we are all to act! Tim Tebow, is someone I look up too. I shall keep him in my prayers. This is what the world should think of us as Christians! It is all over the Bible!
So this article in the WSJ about what Tim Tebow couldn’t do, showed me what Tim Tebow CAN do, through Christ Jesus. And it is the most beautiful thing on this earth. So I ask my fellow brethren to join me to pray for this young soldier in the faith and to strive to join him in this battle.
“Take heart, for I have overcome the world!” -Jesus

Ironically, I also read an article about Tebow today… not that one, but one that admonished people to look up to him because of the very “weirdness” you described. =) My favorite thing about him is that he doesn’t stress about defending himself… just his faith. And he stands up for Christ so simply… with no flamboyant rages against his opponents. Just in a matter-of-fact manner, not really caring what they think because God’s is the only opinion that matters.

can it be? a true Christian athlete to look up to!? Happy to hear it. I thought they had gone extinct.
I don’t keep up with football (*gasp*) so thanks for filling me in on this guy!
