Touching The Soul?

Inspiration is really short in this world and then there is Timmy. It is amazing to me to see a person that lives above most of us in commitment to his God and who does not follow the standard of his profession but goes beyond any standard. His career may be short lived but his impact will last forever. This believer, this boy, is unforgettable but he is not worthy of our worship. Only our God is worthy of praise and worship.


Wanted to share this article with you.

I rest my case.

When all looks lost, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow keeps his cool

Tim Tebow was wired for sound against the Chicago Bears as part of NFL Films ' "Sound Effects." What is most striking is how remarkably calm the Broncos' quarterback was during what has become known as "Tebow Time."

When Bears running back Marion Barber fumbled the ball away in overtime, pandemonium broke out on the Broncos' sideline. Running back Jeremiah Johnson, sitting next to Tebow on the bench, went nuts. Johnson started pounding repeatedly on Tebow's shoulder pads, yelling and screaming.

Tebow's reaction? At first he said nothing. He got off the bench and as he started walking on the field, he quietly began singing a hymn. Not above a whisper, but here the world was turned upside down in an instant and Tebow was singing.

Two cool moments: He's sitting on the bench next to quarterbacks coach Adam Gase. "Why do we have to do it this way?" Gase asks Tebow, referring to how the team is forced to continually rally from behind late.

Tebow smiles, put his right hand around Gase's shoulder and says: "It's all right. We'll figure it out, man."

Another moment comes after Demaryius Thomas lets a long Tebow pass slip through his fingers. Thomas then, and later, said he short-armed the ball and he should have caught it for a touchdown. After the incompletion, a bummed Thomas is on the bench. Again Tebow is sitting to the left.

Tebow puts his arm around Thomas and says: "You're good. Hey, no big deal. It just makes it closer for a little bit longer. You're about to catch the game-winner. And then you'll be the hero of the game."
