I wrote the following post in late November of 2008! Wow...I've been at this a long time. Tim Tebow was in his last year at the University of Florida. I've written a few more posts on him since then and the message has basically been the same....'Tim...quit fooling around with professional football and run for Congress.' I've felt that way when he was kicked around the NFL and I feel it now as he tries baseball. The media doesn't like you in the pros Tim. They'd hate it if you would succeed in anything. So tuck the Constitution in and run right at them like you did at Florida. And on your first day on the Capitol floor, Lord willing if we can make it that far, put that Heb. 12:1,2 eye black on once more!

There's a entry in my 1981 Complete Runner's Day-By-Day Log and Calendar by James Fixx that always brings a smile to my face, Saw Chariots of Fire tonight. Below that is an entry that doesn't bring a smile, weight 160 lbs.. Eric Liddell's dedication and honor to this religion of his meant a lot to me when I first saw the film. I don't know a lot about Tim Tebow because I don't follow college football that much other than to read an article here and there but I did see a few minutes of yesterday's Florida vs Florida State game. Tim Tebow had Heb 12:1,2 in the eye black below his eyes, something that's normal for him I understand.
I have to say that I never heard announcers give accolades quite as exemplary to anyone as they did to this young man yesterday. He must be an extraordinary leader athlete and in the future will undoubtedly cause many young athletes to reassess the Christian message and to encourage young believers
Should he decide to play in the NFL then I'm sure that he will have many more opportunities to express his faith in Jesus Christ, and will have an effect on some; but the greater glory to Christ would be to say no to professional football that's played on the Lord's Day.... because of what this national pastime has done to America and to the church. From what I've read about this incredible young man, if the historic and scriptural evidence of the Lord's Day is placed before him, I wouldn't be surprised if he passed on the NFL and sought God's will in his life.
