Jammin'

I read Leviticus 24 today, but i'm too lazy to make my usual heading thing.  No formality today, i'm feeling too loosey-goosey.  Christmas is almost here, the kids are actually starting to learn a little bit (i think), and God is just too good.  I love praying with people, love pouring over scripture, love basketball practice, love life.  i'm sure satan will try to knock me out with one of those tremendous crashes that often follow a monumentous high, but for now i am secure in the Lord's hand.  (i'm sure getting out of bed in the morning will be a mountain to climb!)

But God is good.

i was, for possibly the first time in my life, spiritually uplifted by watching espn.  As a fan of Texas A&M sports, Rangers baseball, Spurs basketball, and both Texas NFL teams, these broadcasts typically tend to depress me.  However, today the conversation was about Tim Tebow.

Now i have to be honest, i really never was much of a Tebow fan.  i just didn't know if he was trustworthy.  But their conversation today only served to bolster my faith.  The debators mentioned a unique moment in the 3rd quarter of the Bears-Broncos game.  Tebow was miked up for the game, and they caught him in a moment of prayer.  He said "Win or lose, to You be the glory" (not exact...something to that effect).

They went on to mention pastors they knew, who saw God's purpose in Tebow's victories.  In each of Tim's games, he played terrible for 50 minutes.  But those ten minutes in the 4th quarter or overtime he was untouchable.  His completion percentage is under 50%.  Point: there is no possible way he could win this on his own.  There has to be supernatural intervention.  Wish i could delve into this further, but i gotta run!
