More on Tebow - College Football

I was amazed after reading more about the life of Tim Tebow, the great Christian QB about whom I have written before. What struck me this time is an article in Lifenews about him. According to the article Tim Tebow could have been aborted if his mother would have followed doctor's directions to abort her baby. Pam Tebow and her husband were Christian missionaries in the Philippines in 1985 and they prayed for "Timmy" before she became pregnant. Pam entered into a coma after she contracted amoebic dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused by a parasite found in a contaminated food or drink. The treatment for the medical condition would require strong medications that doctors told Pam had caused irreversible damage to Tim -- so they advised her to have an abortion. Pam Tebow refused the abortion and cited her Christian faith as the reason for her hope that her son would be born without the devastating disabilities physicians predicted. Pam ultimately spent the last two months of her pregnancy in bed and, eventually, gave birth to a health baby boy in August 1987. Is not that amazing? How many babies continue to be aborted that could have been perhaps governors, priests, doctors, perhaps even the Pope. When we will get through our thick skulls that ALL life is sacred and must be respected and loved from the moment of conception till the moment of natural death? May the Lord have mercy on us, stubborn and selfish creatures!!!

College Football

After the win of Florida over OU, a lot of debate is going on about what team should be number one. Certainly Florida is a great team, but a lot of people are feeling unhappy especially in Utah after their team went undefeated and beat Alabama in their last game. But one thing is for sure the QB for Florida is one of the best men in the field, again not only for his athletic abilities that have already given him a Heissman Trophy but more importantly because of his commitment to his faith, a person that has helped the poor in many places and even lived among lepers for a while, to be another Christ to these people. He also had the audacity of playing while making a statement about his faith placing the JOHN 3:16 on his eye black for everybody to see. That requires courage and conviction. No matter what happens Tebow is a real winner, he chose the best, to be a man of God, a disciple of Christ.
