Football, Faith, Tebow and Trivia
I am impressed with Tim Tebow. He seems to represent Christianity well. It is time that we had a "celebrity" who truly lived out his or her Christian faith without phoniness and shallowness.I am praying that he will stay true to this faith and not fall. He has been put up on a higher level, so his fall would be great. Then the skeptics could say, "Yeah, I told you; he's just like the rest of those hypocrites."
I noticed that the mayor of Pittsburg lost a bet with the mayor of Denver, so he had to wear a Tebow jersey while "Tebowing." The one thing that bothers me about it is wondering if Tim (and others) are doing this in part, to be seen. Jesus had a specific warning against that type of display. (Matthew 6:1)
I discovered some amazing trivia about Tim Tebow:
His favorite Bible verse is John 3:16. In his playoff win against the Steelers, he threw for 316 yards. His average yards per completion was 31.6 yards. The Neilson rating system had the game in the fourth quarter at a 31.6 share.
Now get this: The referees who called the game were named Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And finally, according to his link, Witches are casting spells against him to end his season.
I pray for Tebow. May he stand strong in his faith...and his football.

Stupid and Graceless
I admire Bob Costas for saying something on national television that needs to be said. He uses words like "obnoxious," "knuckleheads," and "idiots."
In the words of Tim Challies: “Bob Costas carves the selfish idiots who make a spectacle of themselves after they do something good on the football field."
He raises a good question: "Where are the coaches in all this?"
Preach on, Bob!
Anybody with us?
