Saturday night, missionary kid Tim Tebow, fantastic quarterback for the University of Florida football team, won college football's highest individual award -- the Heisman Trophy. He is the first sophomore to ever do so. In the voting, his margin of victory was substantial, even though the nationwide competition was stiff.
Tim was born in the Philippines of missionary parents. He went to high school in Jacksonville, Florida.
In his acceptance speech last night in New York, Orlando Sentinel sports writer Dave Curtis recorded that Tibow's remarks "were delayed 15 seconds as Tibow collected his emotionAlthough it has been years since I have talked to his dad, I know him well enough to know that if Tim ever steps out of line spiritually his dad will be all over him, even if he's receiving the Heisman Trophy at the time. s," then "rambled a bit, thanking everyone from UF Athletic Director Jeremy Foley to Jesus Christ."
After the ceremony, writer Curtis further records, "(Tibow) surrounded by the most important people in his life, praising his God and his teammates, he had lived a dream come true."
Before the ceremony, Tibow remarked that even if he won, he "would still be just little Timmy Tibow from Jacksonville."
Last night, little Timmy Tibow glorified Christ before a large national audience. Bless him greatly, Lord.

Read what the JOLLY BLOGGER (the prophet) had to say about Tebow in 2005! . . . "Although it has been years since I have talked to his dad, I know him well enough to know that if Tim ever steps out of line spiritually his dad will be all over him, even if he's receiving the Heisman Trophy at the time.
