I thank God for the few practicing Christians like you all that we have left in America. Have a Blessed Day all of you!
But the homosexual lobby can be in-your-face with their gaudy, immoral parades; the atheists can display billboards ridiculing believers; the Hollywood elites can flaunt their ungodly lifestyles; the ACLU can drag public figures into court for displaying the 10 commandments or uttering a public prayer in a public arena.
Keep it to himself??? “Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your God which is in heaven.” Keep shining, Tim. I'll keep glorifying God for your faith.
I will make it a point to keep him in my prayers this week.
Next week, not so much....
good on Tim for living his Faith in Christ, and Jennifer for for the courage to point out the hypocrisy of everyone else......
All my Denver kinfolk are diehard Tebow fans and would be devastated if he left. Tebow is Mile-High GLUE right now.
Probably New Orleans or St. Louis.
Religious folks in both of those places, and St. Louis has the nicest fans anywhere this side of Nebraska (who has the best fans).
Nebraska fans stand and applaud the opposing team without fail. They are an amazing bunch of people there.
If Jax offers Gabbert and their First Round Draft Pick (which should be a fairly high pick), it might be real hard for Denver to pass up.
Why would Denver trade Tebow? Don’t they like winning?
Gabbert looks useless. If Denver was adamant about trading Tebow, I’d go even up for Phillip Rivers, even though Rivers isn’t leading his team to victories. Tebow brings a 12th man to his team which is worth a lot. Rivers is under-achieving.
God Bless Him! I don’t watch much football, but I sure know who Tim is and would love to have a grandson with morals and values just like he has. He is such a great role model for younger kids coming up and is an inspiration to all of us.
I get the feeling the Denver Front Office is reacting, like the owner in the movie “Major League” when the Indians actually started winning....I think deep down they wanted Tebow to fail, so they could get it behind them. Now they find themselves in a bit of a pickle, if they still don’t believe Tebow is their long-term answer.
I give it a 60 to 75% chance Tebow will not be in Denver next season.
I was honestly shocked to find it wasn't that way every where. Dad taught me to applaud the other team, and always salute a guy that got hurt. Even during the OU/NU games, it was a very friendly atmosphere.
Elway was sure fond of him last game, grinning from the sidelines!!!
Ya know who Tebow reminds me of? Reagan.
I’m serious.
No matter HOW much the MSM blasted Reagan, the guy simply refused to react. Indeed his resolve to continue on his own path was so huge that it seemed Reagan wasn’t even TRYING to ignore them —because he WASN’T..!
He genuinely didn’t care what they said about him —a quality we don’t see even in 1 of 100 people.
This reallllly angered the MSM —it’s like the aging ex-QB after high-school finding out people who’ve moved on from high-school really no longer care HE was once the BMOC and will no longer kiss his a$$.
Tebow is like that, too —THAT is how little he cares about what the media & NFL ownership say about him.
Another person is like that, too —Rush Limbaugh.
Rush got fired 7 times, once for using the word, “therefore”.
After he got to Sacramento, Rush was fat as hell and conservative —two things that land you on the Banishment Expressway from liberal media elites.
His new co-workers wouldn’t hang out with Rush, and made fun of him at the downtown gym —only Stan Atkisson and a few others (Tom Sullivan) were even civil to him.
As Rush’s popularity grew, one Sacto broadcasting exec up in Granite Bay invited Rush to a big, fancy dinner at his huge home:
When Rush got there this big-shot stopped all conversation then on-going to tell Rush —a man he’d never formally met, and then sitting at his own dinner-table— that the premise of his show was stupid and that Rush would never be a success. And then this exec & dinner host simply continued marveling for the entire dinner (with Rush sitting there politely listening) about how stupid Rush was and that his show was DOA.
And Rush had to live in the really dilapidated part of Sacto (Rio Linda, near an old AFB, now abandoned). You know why he lived there? Because renting in Rio Linda was all Rush could afford at the time.
You know what? Rush doesn’t complain about that, either (in fact he never mentions it on the radio).
And finally when Rush could finally afford to take a vacation, he simply drove up to Lake Tahoe in the mountains above Sacramento, but his car was such a beater he had to periodically pull-over to keep his land-barge from overheating.
And this was even when all the locals were going nuts about Rush —his salary still sucked, and the management was just as condescending to him, and his co-workers and media colleagues were as nasty as always.
In fact most of them were nastier and re-doubled their declarations that Rush would be a huge failure.
And they STILLLLLLLLLLLLL do that, and RUSH IS STILLLLLLLL MAKING BANK.
What an amazing lesson...!
I hate football, but you know what?
EVERY time I see Tebow on the tube, I instantly start rooting for him, mostly because I genuinely admire him, but also partly because the media loathes him so much.
And that’s also sort of how I am with Rush, and how I was with Reagan.
