Tebow-Brady Match Tonight: Even the Witches are Taking Sides

Late night news last night featured a story about witches who are channeling (or whatever they do) energy for Tom Brady. But they assured the reporter they weren't casting spells or hexing Tim Tebow. (What a relief!) R. Emmet Tyrell, Editor of the American Spectator, on the other hand, is thanking God for Tebow who's made him rescind his personal NFL boycott. He predicts that Tebow is in for some serious controversy, however, not because he's a druggie or assaults women or acts like a hoodlum but because he's pious and essentially a Christian. Here's how he put it:
Some have uttered insults at him over his religion and in fact over his general good-guy deportment. Why should this be? One can strut and perform the most lurid dances on the field. One can demonstrate on behalf of various controversial causes. Nary an eye is batted. Yet, a show of piety to one's creator is deemed an offense.... I predict that Tebow is in for some serious controversy in the weeks and years ahead. Some say he does not deserve his fame. That he is an unorthodox passer and a terrible ball handler. I do not know what they think they know. He is as strong as a bull and his running and passing wins games. Yet his real problem is the religious angle. 
Yup, many wish they could bring out the lions during the game to put an end to this embarrassing Christian upstart who, after great plays, often falls to one knee in thanksgiving to a God they either don't believe in or hate. Tim is a continuous reminder of what abortion does to destroy potential because his mom was encouraged to kill him in the womb. You may have seen the Tebow's story, but it's worth repeating in a context that shows exactly how it's influenced the son. Pray that this young man, dedicated to God before his birth, will always be faithful to his maker. His dad offered him to God as a preacher and he illustrates St. Francis' admonition to "Preach always, and when necessary, use words." God bless Tim Tebow and his family!

I'm rooting for the Broncos tonight. Win or lose, their quarterback is a champ!
