I don’t think Tim sees this as going out of his way to help others - this is what he and his family have done from the get-go. He Walks the Talk in a very practical and endearing way. I feel like such a slacker...

It’s not coming from football. believe me.

It’s coming from Christ and the ordained. We already have a program for Lent in place on this subject.

Additionally, we are sponsoring an apologetics course before Lent.

Like I said above — it’s coming, but not from football.

Even the Vatican commented:

ALL who believe in Christ, are called to witness for the good news, lay or ordained.

I did last night, before the game started, a pre-game news report, that Mr. Tebow did invite a teenage girl who was a fan of his to one of the Broncos home games, who was dealing with medical issues.

Sounds like a good idea. Tim Tebow’s season is now over. The Florida primary is coming up soon. Since he is a legend down there he can now endorse Rick Santorum.

Football can be an instrument of God like anything else.

Regardless what happens (or happened) on the field, Tebow´s real Christian spirit was reflected more in last night´s pre-game show. The joy of giving. Wow!

No way! That was Morley Drury, who called signals for the USC Trojans from 1925 through 1927.

Well sure, everyone knows that. But Tebow has been considered the best in modern day football.

Not based on the jerky anti-Tebow comments I am seeing on various message boards.

Wondering about your response, but then I see you are Catholic, so I get it.

Good point. As an ex-Catholic, I can tell you revivals scare Catholics, because they think it involves snake handling and such, or God forbid, having to publicly profess your faith in the saving grace of Jesus Christ alone.

“We have become a licentious, rude, self-centered, illiterate, perverse, complaining, short-sighted, illogical, cold, impious, disloyal, greedy, bitter, materialistic, ungodly, gossiping, irreligious land full of idolatry.”

Now Kelly, don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel about Americans.

Where in the world did you get the notion that it would be coming from football?

It will come through the Holy Spirit, but not necessarily the RC ordained.

But thank God that you “already have a program for Lent in place on this subject.” That should do the job.
