You are probably aware of the pre-game uproar about the two Super Bowl ads featuring Tim Tebow, University of Florida’s quarterback, and his mother, Pam. After watching these two commercials, I felt many would enjoy and appreciate them and the naysayers were pre-judging the content.

If you have ten minutes, you would probably be very interested in the back-story for the Tebow family at Focus on the Family. Click on The Tebow Story for a video interview with Tim Tebow’s parents as they reveal God’s hand on Tim’s life even before he was conceived. I could not help but think of Psalm 139.

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
~ Psalm 139: 13 – 16 (NIV)

NOTES:

• Be sure to watch the video posted at the top of this post and Click here … and here as well… for more videos about Tim and his family, including the two controversial Super Bowl ads.
• In 2007, Tim became the first underclassman to win the Heisman trophy.  He was nominated again in 2008 along with two other Christians, Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy.  He had the most first-place votes, but didn’t win the trophy that year.
