college football is here...
The college football season is now in full swing, YES!!!
Hands-down, this is the start of the best time of the year. (or maybe it should be phrased hands-up) I don't want to discredit college basketball (that's my second sports love) - but, I think NCAA football has a slight edge because there are fewer games. With fewer games - the players pour more passion into every game. {the only thing that comes close to college football is March Madness, however, this is just one portion of the basketball season and I'm exclusively talking about collegiate sports during their reg. seasons} . . .
After watching UK football have a 'magical' season this past year - I can't help but have a heightened level of excitement for this year too. Moreover, I'm absolutely pumped to be watching one particular player take the field this year. This player was born exactly one month before I was in 1987. He is a solid believer and quite the baller both on an off the football field. I've grown to admire this guy more and more as I've researched and listened to his testimony. He puts Christ 1st and everything else 2nd. Oh, and I almost forgot: He won the Heisman trophy last season. Who is he: Tim Tebow. If you don't already know about this stud athlete + ambassador for the Lord, I suggest that you do a few Google searches on him... Even if you dislike the Florida gators - you still gotta love this guy - he's the ideal role model for any kid playin' sports right now. And he's not just cool because he's a genuine Christian - he's also cool because he's literally the most rock solid quarterback in the nation. Who's better?
While I'm not a huge Gator fan (although I'll cheer for any SEC team when they play out of conference) I do admire and respect the life of Tim Tebow. He points you to Christ by his lifestyle - and lives out Romans 1:16. --May we all find ourselves using our spheres of influence for the Kingdom...
