Tim Tebow

There is obviously a lot of buzz and controversy going on over this man. A lot of people loving him and a lot of people hating him. And a lot of people jumping on the "Tim Tebow Bandwagon".

I watch A LOT of football and have for the past 8 years. I also worked very closely with a Gator fan in grad school and now I work at the University of Miami. I hear his name a lot. However, I never really paid attention to who he was or what he was doing. I just knew he was a really good football player. I didnt like him or hate him- I just never really thought about him.

After he was drafted I heard his name more and how he couldnt make it in the pros. Since then there has been a TON of media on him and I finally started paying attention. You can say I joined the bandwagon if you want, but I have come to love this man. Not because he is a great football player, but because he honestly lives his life for the Lord and he doesnt care who knows it. There will always be skeptics on his faith and if God is "on his side team" but doesnt the Bible state following and standing up for Him would bring oppostion and challenges? I think Tim Tebow knows this and continues to live his life the way the Lord would have him live it anyway.

John was watching a something on him the other day and it was about how he wore a microphone for an entire game. You can hear him singing praise and worship songs as he is warming up and on the sidelines. That is just amazing to me. Some people may think he is showing off, but I think he just loves the Lord that much. And what does it matter what any of us think anyway? All that matters is he is doing what he is called to do.

I encourage you to read the following articles:

The second: WOW. Just WOW. What an amazing human being that not only loves the Lord so much, but that truly cares for others. What a great ministry. This made me cry.

Anyway, I am totally a Tim Tebow fan now. Not because he has been winning, but because he stands for what he believes in, in front of the entire world. He is spreading the good news and reaching a lot of people by doing so. Thanks Tim Tebow for being a great Christ Follower. You inspire me.
