| From the Internet |
Tim Tebow, quarterback for the University of
Florida, became the first sophomore in history to
win the coveted Heisman Trophy as the best
college football player in the country. With 29
passing touchdowns and 22 rushing touchdowns,
Tebow displayed the kind of versatility and
athleticism for which every football coach prays.
However, if doctors had had it their way, Tebow
wouldn't be here today, according to the
Gainesville Sun and lifenews.com.
Pam Tebow and her husband Bob were Christian
missionaries in the Philippines in 1985 and they
prayed for their child even before Pam became
pregnant. When she did, she contracted amoebic
dysentery, an infection of the intestine caused
by a parasite found in contaminated food or
drink. As a result, Pam entered into a coma.
The treatment for the medical condition required
strong medications which would cause irreversible
damage to her unborn son and leave him with
devastating disabilities. Doctors advised her to
have an abortion.
Pam Tebow refused the abortion and cited her
Christian faith as the reason for her hope that
her son would be born without the devastating
disabilities physicians predicted. She ultimately
spent the last two months of her pregnancy in bed
and, eventually, gave birth to a completely
healthy baby in August 1987.
"The combination of Timmy's God-given talent,
hard work, character and leadership have made a
mark on and off the football field," said Pam.
Former New York Giant Chris Godfrey shudders to
think of the millions of Tim Tebows who aren't
here today. "You just have to wonder how many
good things did not come into our world because
of our unwillingness to say 'Yes' and to trust in
God," he said.
"Of the 49 million who never lived to realize
their potential, imagine the number of future
leaders, inventors, doctors — and, yes, even
Heisman Trophy winners — among them," said Tony
Perkins of the Family Research Council. "[We]
pray that [Tebow's story] helps persuade other
women of the inherent value of their unborn
children and the great promise that lies within."

| Does GOD Have Your Best Interests In Mind? |
You would probably immediately answer "YES" to
the question above, but if that is true why do we
follow him so dispassionately.
We trust him to save us but but we do not trust
him enough to lead us, the we wonder why we never
find still waters. We say HE provides for all our
needs, then we fear giving him more than our
spare change. Expecting him to glean from the the
corners of our fields like a beggar and thank us
for our charity.
We say HIS thoughts are higher than our
thoughts and that HE is all knowing and then we
follow our own counsel because we feel that HE
doesn't understand our situation or HIS word
doesn't apply because of our special
circumstances.
We become outraged because the government does
not want to display HIS word in public, yet we
spend so little time with HIS word in private.
They've outlawed prayer in school, but we've
abandoned prayer at home. A good school should
teach reading, writing and arithmetic. A good
home should teach ask, seek and knock.
This year we've heard more about Black Friday
than Thanksgiving. "Thank you, LORD. Now give me
more."
Does GOD have your best interests in mind?
Don't just answer yes, with your mouth; answer
yes, with all your heart, mind and soul.

| The Miracle and the Misery |
Everyone it seems wants GOD to work miracles in
their lives but no one wants to suffer through
the misery. Before almost any miracle found in
the Bible suffering occurred. Before anyone was
raised from the dead, they had to die. Before
sight was given, there was a period of blindness.
The woman suffered many years before Jesus dried
up the issue of blood. We are more than willing
to be blessed but are we willing to suffer?
