I think it takes guts for him to do what he does and I respect him for not backing down and just playing it cool or whatever. <br /><br />I wasn't meaning to imply that you were exalting 1 player and picking on the other. I was just talking. I know - that's as shocking as the devil's advocate. <br />Janda-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687798675348783450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229143767504586794.post-11257089021607087802012-09-16T18:16:38.978-04:002012-09-16T18:16:38.978-04:00My intent was whatever God has called you to do or...My intent was whatever God has called you to do or be, to do that and be that to the best you are able. I love the Skins as well and have enjoyed seeing and hearing RGIII in interviews. I have a good friend who knows him personally as all three of her kids go to Baylor and they've met him through the local school alumni org. She says he's a wonderful young man and than it's evident in the way he is with all those around him. <br /><br />That being said, I felt sorry for Tebow the other day when the radio guy called him all sorts of names. He is doing what he knows how to do and gets flack for it. I saw the commentator as comparing them.<br /><br />Now, as to what makes us better Christians, do we go out and shout our faith from the roof tops or live it quietly, that's a matter of the individual and what the Lord has asked us to do. IMO, if we are being called to be quiet and we yap all of the time, that's not so good. Likewise, if we are being called to go and share the gospel and we don't do that, what does that say.<br /><br />All in all, I'm thankful there are young men and women who aren't afraid to share their faith on national television and in the locker rooms and in front of school kids, etc. One of my favorite parts of the Olympics was when a terrific athlete gave the glory to the Lord. <br /><br />Devil's advocate? I'm soooo surprised;)Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00351150216758039827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229143767504586794.post-68677210950287613192012-09-16T18:07:49.448-04:002012-09-16T18:07:49.448-04:00Also, you asked if we're like Griffin or Tebow...Also, you asked if we're like Griffin or Tebow. Is being like Griffin a bad thing? He's working hard, doing his job well, and acknowledging God in a more subdued manner. Not asking this in a defensive way, but in a tuly curious, open for discussion/comment way - Is that not as good as Tebow? Or is it merely just different than Tebow?Janda-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687798675348783450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229143767504586794.post-25852027312446299102012-09-16T18:05:45.662-04:002012-09-16T18:05:45.662-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Janda-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687798675348783450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229143767504586794.post-72737397324804260472012-09-16T18:03:47.324-04:002012-09-16T18:03:47.324-04:00Then there's also the possibility that the guy...Then there's also the possibility that the guy with the sign is just annoying. He blocked your line of sight, made it difficult to turn, could've potentially made people late... and was he holding the sign because he wanted to or because he knows he's "supposed" to - I sometimes compare the ones who just stand there with the sign looking bored out of their mind vs the ones jamming to their music, throwing the sign all over the place, waving at the people...<br /><br />Just playing a little devil's advocate. :) I like Tebow and I love Griffin (I'm a Redskins fan, what can I say?), and I like knowing they have a faith in God. I admire Tebow's willingness to really put it out there, but I do sometimes question whether he does it too much. Then I feel guilty - is there such a thing as doing it too much?Janda-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687798675348783450noreply@blogger.com
