For those of you who do not follow football, Tim Tebow is the quarterback for the Florida Gators for two years. He won the Hiesman Trophy last year and just beat the Oklahoma Sooners to win the National Championship last night.
But more importantly he loves the Lord and takes every opportunity to express that love. Read this article to learn more: http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfoot/news/news.aspx?id=4202308
A little known fact that I find amuzing: he was homeschooled! Ok that part is not amuzing but admirable. The part that is amuzing is the fact that he lived in Oklahoma and according to their laws he could not play high school sports in the public schools because he was not a full time student. (much like Ohio law) Therefore he ended up playing high school sports in Jacksonville Floriday because Florida law excepts homeschoolers into their extra curricular activities (24 states in all have this policy). So I bet Oklahoma is kicking themselves for not allowing him to play HS ball for their state and being able to recruit him! (although their quarterback won the Hiesman this year - but lost the BIG game!).
If you get some time read about Tim Tebow and his conviction to God. He was the youngest of 5 to be homeschooled and his father said that he would never put him in public schools just to play ball. Luckily for the Gators, they found away to do both.
