Since my favorite football quarterback in the NFL is getting constant attention, sometimes for less than sold-out support reasons, I get to keep talking about him too. Who could not love this guy? Recently I read an article that said the thing about Tim is everyone almost wants him to mess up so he will seem "normal", and so that then the world can breathe a sigh of relief, as if to say this faith thing he boasts of isn't all he's cracking it up to be.
The thing us believers know is that it doesn't matter if he messes up. That would be sad, but that doesn't change his faith relationship or the great work he does in sharing his faith with the world. For the unbelievers when a believer makes a huge blunder it is like another check mark on the "reasons why God isn't real" type list.
But then there is Tim. Did you catch the game against the Chicago Bears? Amazing finish. I love the similarity to biblical stories. To see Tim have faith, watch him literally praying on the sidelines and see the team pull out a win in overtime when it was pretty much decided the team would lose. How awesome is it to watch his lips move and know that he isn't talking to anyone other than God? And how awesome is it that when the team wins, the first thing...FIRST THING Tim says to the interviewer after the game is "First and foremost I want to give honor to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." That, friends, is the best of the best. Being able to publicly and proudly proclaim not just your love of God, but your love of Jesus for all to hear? Great job Tim. Your mama raised you well.
I think he's single. Is he single? I have a few single Christian ladies well-deserving of such a faith-full man. And, he's saving himself for marriage. Wow. This guy is the real deal. I'm a real fan. Keep up the incredible work Tim. None of the many, many doubters and silly sportscasters that just can't seem to wrap their minds around what's happening, matter much. They will speculate and some of them criticize, but then, for all of us Christians, we face the same. Our level might be smaller and draw less public attention but the haters will always be there. It's the faith and prayers of those that support us that keep us moving forward with our eyes focused upwards.
Somebody needs to get this girl a Tim Tebow jersey for Christmas. Jeesh.
