[Mr Ramsbotham]

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

I well understand the thrust of your quote. It goes to the hypocrisy of those who engage in public displays of prayer for the approval of others. He, however, is professing his faith bravely in the face of general opprobrium.

I'm impressed with his observance. I guess if he were doing some inane dance or spiking the ball or doing chest butts with his teammates, no one would have a problem with that.

He came to term through the faith of his mother against the advice of a corps of physicians and he dedicates his life to the Lord. He has served, and continues to serve, at missions overseas in far lands. If he chooses to express his faith publicly, good on him! Most of the celebrities in today's society are trashing our Christian heritage vigorously on a regular basis.

He's a welcome relief from guys like Roethlisberger and Brady whose sexual escapades are perfunctorily noted in the news with little or no comment - they are the ones touted by the media and they are given passes for their transgressions.

He is doing God's work in a public forum. Thank the Lord for Tom Tebow!
