My husband and I are huge Gator fans. You know~ they just won the BCS National Championship game last night? What a great game.
But more than just being a great team, I am (and thousands of other people are, too) hugely impressed with Tim Tebow, the winning quarterback and Heisman trophy winner. A couple of months ago, I was invited to attend A Womans Place fundraising gala here in Tampa in which Pam Tebow, Tim's mother, was the guest speaker. She and her husband are missionaries and she spoke at length about her experiences as such. She also told many anecdotes about "Timmy"(funny, considering he's now 235 pounds and 21 years old) and his great love for our Lord. This young man is going to succeed in life in a multitude of ways. His work ethic is unsurpassed and his talents are many but it is his declaration of John 3:16 on his face (literally) every game and his gratitude to God verbally whenever he is interviewed; it's his missionary work every summer and his participation with Christian student groups and his mentoring and leadership to his team... he is a man of faith and he is proud to share that.
To be a Gator fan is sweet again this year as we now get to sit back and enjoy that championship win until next season but to have Tim on our side is amazingly sweet!
Now if we can just make sure he returns for his senior year and avoids the NFL draft.....
