Many football players go their whole career without doing anything to help people off the field. They make a difference on the field, but off the field, it is a whole different ball game. Tim Tebow is a man of courage, love, faith, and hope. He spent his whole college and NFL football career, devoting himself to sharing the gospel and giving people hope in their darkest days. Tim Tebow used his fame as a way to help kids with dyslexia, ADHD, cancer patients, and disadvantaged kids. He is known as a game changer because of his never-ending effort to help people all around the world. At an early age, Tim Tebow, had to overcome many challenges, but these challenges have shaped his character. He was born in Mindanao, Philippines, where his father did mission work. One day his father prayed to God and said “Father, if You want another preacher in this world, give him to me. You give me Timmy, and I will raise him to be a preacher.” (Tebow 4). A few months after this Tim's mom realized she was pregnant. The pregnancy was not an ideal pregnancy. She had many issues and the doctors were not sure if his mom would survive. While pregnant Pamelia, Tim’s mom, would have her other children memorize bible verses. Pamelia would also put the verses to a tune to help them retain the bible verses. A miracle occurred in the last month of pregnancy when Tim’s mom began feeling better and was able to travel to a hospital in Manila where she was treated by an American-trained doctor. On August 14…

one of the head scientists on the project. While he is speaking to his mother, Dr. Carol Marcus, he remarks, “We’ve built something that can be perverted into a terrible weapon,” (David Marcus, Wrath of Khan). Although he believes that this weapon can be used for evil, he continues to create it. This implies that he believes Genesis can be kept out of the wrong hands, even though people will try to bastardize its purpose. When this conversation takes place, the audience does not yet know what…

love in a practical way. Not everything is black and white, there are not just two paths. It is my belief there are three. The first path is doing something practical, something that gives you money and security. Highly educated writer and musician Carl McCoy writes an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal on May 28, 2013, it is called Dear Grads: Don 't Do What You Love.

Even though he was drafted in the 6th round of the year 2000 draft, this man has grown to become one of the greatest of all time. His name has been mentioned among names like Manning and Montana and Young. He has 2 NFL MVPs. He also won 5 super bowls with the New England Patriots. That’s more than any other quarterback in NFL history. It’s the most sought-after stat, but even though he has 5, a lot of people doubt his greatness. There’s been multiple scandals in Brady’s time with the Patriots.…

Last Sunday, the Buccaneers escaped with a win against the New York Giants. Kicker Nick Folk grazed a 34-yard field goal to knock off the Giants 25-23 and send them to 0-4. Folk had previously missed two other field goals and an extra point in the game. The Buccaneers have the New England Patriots on Thursday in Tampa. When the scheduled came out saying we had to play the Patriots, I won't lie, I thought we were in for a bad game. Now I look at this game as a very easily winnable game. The…

The Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl: Would they have made it? As of October 2015, a record of 12-4 would have certainly earned the Falcons a playoff spot, with perhaps a first round bye. Did that, however, mean that they were contenders for the 2016 Super Bowl? It was likely, but 3 things hindered the Falcons from getting to the second Super Bowl in the history of the franchise: First, the Falcons had not won consecutive playoff matches since 1998. Second, in the NFC playoffs, Matt Ryan was…
