super bowl ad
January 27, 2010  |  thoughts

So this is not the norm “creative” blog post, but something I decided to blog about:

I saw this on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer tonight. You can watch it too, right here

[The article: He was the first sophomore in history to win a Heisman trophy. He was the first college football player both to rush and pass for 20 touchdowns in a season. Last year, he led his college team, the Florida Gators, to their second national championship in three years. At 6 feet 3 inches and 245 pounds, Tim Tebow may go down in history as the greatest college football player who ever lived. And to think none of that would have happened if not for a decision his mother made nearly 23 years ago. That is the message of a controversial new ad starring Tebow and his mother, Pam. Paid for by the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, the ad tells the story of Bob and Pam Tebow, who was pregnant with their fifth child when the couple travelled to the Philippines on a missionary trip.

While there, Pam contracted amoebic dysentery and the medicines used for her recovery threatened her unborn fetus. Doctors advised her to abort the fetus. Pam ignored their advice and gave birth on Aug. 14, 1987, to a baby boy. That boy was Tim Tebow.]

Wow! As controversy rises over this upcoming Super Bowl ad, I find it pretty profound. Tebow is most definitely a man who walks the talk when it comes to his faith. That’s not always common these days for someone in the spotlight, I respect that he has stayed the course.

  1. that gives me goosebumps!

  2. I honestly got giddy when I heard he was doing this. he definitely has the favor of God. I wish I got to see it but oh well. My husband made a good point that he probably lost millions for the upcoming draft, we must say that we loved that he really doesnt care.
