When you’re kind to others, you help yourself; when you’re cruel to others, you hurt yourself.
Bad work gets paid with a bad check; good work gets solid pay.
Take your stand with God’s loyal community and live, or chase after phantoms of evil and die.
God can’t stand deceivers, but oh how he relishes integrity.
Count on this: The wicked won’t get off scot-free, and God’s loyal people will triumph.
Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful face on an empty head.
The desires of good people lead straight to the best, but wicked ambition ends in angry frustration.
The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.
The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.
Curses on those who drive a hard bargain! Blessings on all who play fair and square!
The one who seeks good finds delight; the student of evil becomes evil.
A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree.
Exploit or abuse your family, and end up with a fistful of air; common sense tells you it’s a stupid way to live.
A good life is a fruit-bearing tree; a violent life destroys souls.
If good people barely make it, what’s in store for the bad!
Each and every week for the last eight weeks I have watched this young man Tim Tebow exemplify what being a winner is all about. It’s about focusing on the task, giving credit where credit is due, understanding there is no “I” in team, making those around you better and embracing the concept of competitive greatness.
The short and skinny is that against all odds, critics and naysayers, Tim Tebow led the Denver Broncos, and keeps getting it done. The Mile High team is 7-1 since Tebow took the helm as the starting quarterback and continues to leave many scratching their head, and others are becoming believers by the week. It’s not simply that the Broncos are winning, but it’s the fashion in which the victories are happening.
Tim Tebow has led more 4th quarter comebacks than any other QB this season besides Eli Manning. Yesterday’s win over the Chicago Bears was probably the most improbable as the Bears led 10-0 with 2:08 left in the game. Let me repeat that, the Broncos beat the Chicago Bears in overtime after trailing 10-0 with 2:08 in regulation.
I was planning on writing a blogpost about leadership this morning; however during my 3B-Time Bible, Books & Blogs God gave me something a little different. It’s basically some sentences to help define who “I Am” and who “You Are.”
These sentences by themselves are quite simple, yet if the heart behind them is truly embraced, the results are profound.
These 7 Little “I Am’s” Will Change Your Life
The Jets Lose to the Broncos and Tebow Haters Keep Getting #Tebowed. I have always been amazed by the Tebow haters and overall hatred that Tim Tebow has received over the life of his public athletic career. When he was at the University of Florida many people couldn’t stand him; and the fact that he proudly represented John 3:16 on his eye black, his famous speech “The Promise”, the incident with blood running down his face, and the list goes on and on. I always liked Tebow in college, simply because of how he represented himself, although I didn’t particularly like his coach or the Florida Gators.
Now that Tim Tebow is in the NFL this Love/Hate condition is even larger and on a more national level. In the City of Denver, Tebow gets ripped by Anti-Christian groups on a regular basis. Yet, he gets cheered on by thousands of fans that have made his Jersey one of the most purchased Jersey’s in the NFL. Tim Tebow is more than a quarterback for the Denver Broncos, he’s an iconic figure that represents Christian, courage, honor, good and wholesome.
Tebow appears to have gotten used to the criticism and has never once backed down from outwardly sharing his faith, and as a matter of fact he boldly ends every interview with “God Bless!” People in the media and NFL analysts are publicly concluding that the hatred of Tebow is primarily based upon his outward showing of his faith and religious beliefs. Inside the NFL host “JB” James Brown asked his co-host Chris Collinsworth a question regarding how Tim Tebow is treated, and Collinsworth was straightforward about his thoughts. Collinsworth said, “It’s unbelievable JB, that one of the best kids – pure kids that’s ever come into the NFL, is hated because of his faith, because of his mission work, because of the fact that he wears it on his sleeve…”
In Matthew 10 in the Bible, Jesus talks about people hating you because of Him. I think Tebow not only understands that but lives with the understanding of Matthew 10:32-33 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.”
It’s one thing to disagree with someone because of their views, however this hatred and dislike that comes from the Anti-Christian is superfluous. The harsh reality is The Tebow Haters Keep Getting #Tebowed. It appears as though in the Tebow situation the fans were right, while the analysts, experts and haters are being proven wrong every week Tebow takes the field.
After weeks of “Tebow” chanting fans in Denver, the 3rd string QB finally got his start against the Miami Dolphins 5 weeks ago. Since that start, Tebow is 4 and 1 as a starting QB and knocked off Miami, Oakland, Kansas City and New York. As I type the words of this post, I’m watching the analysts on ESPN trying to make sense of it all. New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan, in his post game interview, just gave Tebow mad props and said, “The kid just wins!”
For the Anti-Christians and those who hate Tebow exclusively because of his faith, I say get a grip. Instead of always focusing on what you are against, take a play out of Tim Tebow’s playbook and focus on what you are for. I’ll end this with a little wisdom and life perspective from a young NFL QB by the name of Tim Tebow who happens to be a man of faith, “If someone asks, I’ll always be willing to share His will because I also know that there are a lot more important things than football and that is one of them. That ultimately overrides football any day of the week.”
For the sports people, analysts and Monday morning quarterbacks that say Tebow’s unconventional style and running the ball being a key part of his arsenal won’t get it done long term, you’re fooling yourselves. Just because a person doesn’t meet the establishment’s guidelines doesn’t mean that they can’t be uber-successful. If you don’t believe me, ask Tebow.
Broncos Head Coach John Fox, as he just took the podium after the Jets victory, said, ”I thank the Good Lord for every player in that locker room.” Shortly after Fox, Tim Tebow took the podium and is answering the reporters with “Yes Sir” and “No Sir!” One reporter asked him what he’s going to do to celebrate the win? His response was “I’m going to spend some time thanking my Lord and Savior, hang out with some friends and get some sleep.” Tebow also just said, (paraphrasing) “It’s just a game, it’s a game that we are passionate about it. It’s more important for me to use my platform to honor God and influence kids in a positive way.” When asked about the naysayers, Tebow responded “I don’t worry about the naysayers, I’ve had them since I was 7 years old. I just have to focus on what I can control.” He closed with, “I think analyst Hugh Douglas said that if the Broncos win, he will go to church on Sunday. I’ll be hitting him up on Twitter and telling him to put on his Sunday Best.”
Gotta Love It! I love that Tebow works hard, has the respect of his team and is the definition of a gamer. The fact that he has supernatural favor is a nice bonus.
#Tebowed – (verb) another word for #winning.

10 SPIRITUAL TONICS by ~Abraham Feinberg
Which of these 10 Tonics resonate most with you?
Life is about Moments & Memories. The things you do in today’s moments will be tomorrow’s memories. It’s important that we embrace every single moment, understanding it’s true potential for lasting memories. If you talk to anyone that has lost someone they loved, they will always talk about the Moments & Memories that they had with that person. The same thing is true for the parents that look back and remember when their children were toddlers and next thing you know they are graduating from high school.
All of our moments are precious gifts from God. Take some time today to look at your moments at work, with your kids, your friends and your spouse differently. Realize that those special moments are special gifts that will produce special memories. Think about your child’s 1st step, piano recital, gymnastics meet, when they made a decision to follow Christ, football games, basketball games, open house at school, trick or treating, college graduation, their wedding day and the list goes on and on.
No matter what you do, do it from the perspective of asking these two questions: Are the things that I’m doing in today’s moments creating the right memories for tomorrow? Am I finding the God moments even in the little things?
Below are a couple of videos from this past Saturday of my 8yo son Jayden running the ball, one is a little swing pass and the other is a trap. I love coaching this group of boys and they have come a long way this season, as a matter of fact this past Saturday was the semi-finals and our 26-25 victory put us in the Championship Game this weekend. Such great Moments & Memories.
After we win the Championship Game this coming weekend (prophetically speaking), I get the opportunity to drive 2.5 hours to officiate a wedding of a great couple with a really bright future.
“If you long for the perfect moment, the perfect moment will pass you by.”
Great Moments & Great Memories.
Share your thoughts on Moments & Memories. You can also share your thoughts on my son’s two plays in the above videos.
