Tebow and the Hand of God in Sports

Great article by Owen Strachan over at TGC blog.  He closes with this great statement...

"The most important story here is not that Tebow and the Broncos are winning in dramatic fashion, but that the Lord seems to have worked in this man such that, though faced with unbelievable fame, major wealth, constant attention, and the classically all-American success story, Tebow seems only to want to talk about the gospel."

Greatest World Series Game Ever!

Last night's game was a great game - no question it was a classic.  But the greatest game ever?  Really... really ... no seriously, really.  Obviously there is a serious case of memory loss south of the 49th.  It's like '92 and '93 never existed, they never even were. But ... anyone with an ounce of fluid brain must concede that game 6 was indeed the greatest of all time, just not game 6 of 2011.  No the honour will always belong to game 6 in '93.  I would argue that game 4 of '93 was better than last night's game, but that's for another time!  

I remember I was sitting with Jennifer at my parent's place watching this one.  When Joe came up to bat, I looked at her and said, "Joe's gonna take him deep."  True story - I called that one!  Let's relive the magic moment together...

What a game!  Where were you when "Joe went deep"?  And, if you think last night was better, why ... defend your choice?

So SMOOTH!!

I don't care who you are, you have to respect this.  Quite simply one of the sweetest, smoothest goals ever! Someone really needs to make a video of this goal with "Smooth" (Rob Thomas / Carlos Santana) playing in the background...just a thought.

Love in the Truth.

Modern Day Prophet?!?

This has already been labeled the "call of the year" by many. Just watch and you'll see why! Now, this has no spiritual value at all, but it should put a smile on your face. You will be amazed!

Admit it - that was one heck of a call!!

Love in the Truth.

It's TEBOW Time!

Today begins the quest for a third national championship in four years as well as the quest for a second Heisman Trophy for "Superman" - AKA - Tim Tebow. I love the Gators; I have for as long as I can remember. The fact that Tim Tebow is our quarterback is an added bonus - let's just say that I'm also a huge fan of the Providence of God! Here's a little video sampling of TEBOW to get you pumped for the season - GO GATORS...CHOMP!

Love in the Truth!

A Great Answer!

I don't know if you follow football at all. And by football, I don't mean soccer - which I love (Go Liverpool) - I mean NFL - the good stuff (the CFL doesn't really count)! I am a big fan of NFL footaball and the Miami Dolphins in particular, but I am also a big Kurt Warner fan. His story is quite remarkable. But why am I a fan? Well, everytime he gets a chance to speak about his faith in Christ he does just that. He was recently asked a good question and his answer was great! Here's the question and answer for you:

"Kurt, as a professional football player, what aspect of your vocational calling gives you the most joy in life? What is it about the 'job of football' that you love the most?"

His answered came instantly and unequivocally:

"Without question, the greatest joy about my calling as a professional football player is seeing the barriers it breaks-down in giving me the opportunity to talk about Jesus."

He elaborated on this by noting how all the privilege and all the status and all the fame simply serves to give him access to people and places to talk about the Lord that he otherwise would not have had. In essence he made it clear that, to him, the job is an amazing platform from which he gets to steward his main joy in life--telling people about the Jesus.

I wonder how many Christians would give the same answer if we were in Kurt Warner's shoes? I wonder how many of us would give that answer now? What's your answer?

Love in the Truth.
