Here’s an interesting article by Gene Frenette on Jacksonville.com about Tim Tebow. I’ve said it here before, but for someone who is arguably the most popular collegiate athlete in America right now, he really seems like he’s got his head on straight.
“I don’t like to let people down. The criteria is, where can I have a bigger impact to show my faith? So many times, the public wants to look at the negative. It’s tough to make the headlines doing something right. That’s just our society.”
“A lot of kids in my position would choose to do something different with their time. But my whole life, my goal has been to not be normal. I want to be a good example for the gospel. I don’t want to do what the crowd would do.”
The article also says that Tim’s so busy trying to stay on top of football and sharing his faith that he doesn’t have time for a girlfriend. Now THAT’S commitment.
Have a great holiday weekend everyone!

Tebow acts the way I use to tell God I would act if He would bless me overnight with mind-numbing athletic ability. Course it’s doubtful I would have held up my end of the bargain, so good for Tebow.
But perhaps Tebow is only humble because he is 0-2 against Auburn? Just sayin’.

There is a lot to admire in Tim, but I would argue the point that he has his head on straight. He has a little growing up to do (as we all did at his age). He will be an even better player and even stronger man when he realizes that “not letting people down” is not a possibility. He needs to keep his eye on God and keep his focus there.
