I Believe in Tim Tebow

Every week, Tebow picks out someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured. He flies these people and their families to the Broncos game, rents them a car, puts them up in a nice hotel, buys them dinner (usually at a Dave & Buster's)....

Remember the QB who lost his leg, Jacob Rainey? He got his prosthetic leg a few weeks ago, and he wants to play high school football next season. Yes, tackle football. He'd be the first to do that on an above-the-knee amputation.

Hmmm. Wonder where he got that crazy idea?

"Tim told me to keep fighting, no matter what," Rainey says.

For the game at Buffalo, it was Charlottesville, Va., blue-chip high school QB Jacob Rainey, who lost his leg after a freak tackle in a scrimmage. Tebow threw three interceptions in that Buffalo game and the Broncos were crushed 40-14. "He walked in and took a big sigh and said, 'Well, that didn't go as planned,'" Rainey remembers. "Where I'm from, people wonder how sincere and genuine he is. But I think he's the most genuine person I've ever met." .........

Tim has brought to light millions of those whom do not know Jesus Christ a good reason to find out about Jesus.
Some of those to Salvation ...PRAISE JESUS !
For the doubters ...Try Jesus and if you dont like him? Surley the devil will take you back.
As for Tim Tebow ...Job well done

“”I truly enjoy this man.””

Perfectly captured. From the very first time he took the field at Florida, the effect was immediate, and absolutely wonderful. His passion, his love of the game and of life was communicated directly to everyone in that stadium and the place just lit up. It was a blast, and it is so great to watch him have the same effect on the folks in Denver, and fans and players everywhere.

God has indeed blessed us with this incredible young man, and I do not think it is any mere coincidence that it is happening now.

May God guide our course.

“Gifts from the same source but without the acknowledgement of who is really in charge.”

How do you know that? You don’t know what he acknowledges in his heart or mind. Or do you?

Tim Tebow brings respect back to a game full of rapists and druggies. Hopefully the lure of money and fame don’t ruin this nice kid.

I have no idea of what's in Brady's heart. I was refering to how Tebow readily acknowledges where his gifts come from and I have never heard same from Brady.
