Did anyone watch the Heisman Trophy presentation? Tebow won (YAY!!). Can I just tell you that I was extremely impressed? So, I am a fan of Tim...a big fan. I already knew he is a Christian. But every package about Tebow, everything he said, and even what Urban Meyer said about him mentioned Christ. The personality profile on Tebow shared the gospel and showed him reading the Bible. He thanked his mom for teaching him scripture and his dad for living it out. When they interviewed him, Tim said he plays for the glory of the Lord.
Sometimes the Jesus stuff on awards shows is hokey at best and hypocritical at worst ("I'd like to thank God for this Grammy for my song about killing people and having sex"). But it wasn't that way at all with Tim or his family. Even Kirk Herbstreit, whom I love almost as much as Tebow, changed his tune about the guy. He gushed about him and any GameDay fans out there know, he is not that way and favored McFadden (who I do feel for - who wants to be the runner-up in consecutive years for the first time in 60 years). He said that he hasn't met a more humble guy and can't imagine a better guy to be an ambassador for college football. If I remember correctly, Lee Corso called Tim the best guy to ever win the award.
It was really great to know Tebow is worthy of my favor and to hear my Savior being talked about in a sincere way on national television. I think Tim is also doing pretty well in his ambassadorship of Christ.
P.S. A piece Gator/Heisman trivia - all three Gator quarterbacks who have won the Heisman -- Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996) and Tebow -- are the sons of pastors.
My favorite Tebowisms
