Tim Tebow

When my friend Gary Crawford, Pastor at Westside Baptist Church near
the University of Florida campus, lost his wife Freda, the second
telephone call he received was from Tim Tebow, possibly the best and
most famous player in college football. He was the first sophomore to
win the Heisman Trophy.


Tebow is an outstanding Christian gentleman. He is a self-proclaimed
virgin who is saving himself for marriage.


Tebow was born in the Philippines. His parents were Christian
missionaries. He and his siblings were homeschooled by their mother.


Tebow first caught my attention during a national championship game.
I saw "John 3:16" inscribed in his eye black. Evidently a lot of
other people did too. That night "John 3:16" was the most popular
search item on Google.


Tim has been blessed by Westside's ministry to college students. I'm
proud of the fact He called Gary.
