TEBOW OR NOT TEBOW, THAT IS THE QUESTION

                    I haven't had a great interest in pro football for a long time.
        (My disenchantment goes way back to when my (everybody in Maryland 
        used "my" when refering to) my Baltimore Colts who were taken by their 
        owner and moved at midnight to Indiana many decades ago. What's the
        name of the city? I can't remember.)    
               But,  my interest has slightlincreased this season, with  the emergence 
        of TimTebow who has stirred up a large amount of media attention by 
        kneeling and offering a short prayer during the game. (only he and God
        knows for sure what he says, but his admirers love him and his detractors 
        don't
.
              I suppose it's okay to pray in public. If I had been a Christian back in
        the early Roman coliseum days, I probably would have prayed in public, too.
        But, during a pro football game? I'm not too sure.
            I could be wrong, but I don't believe Jesus would have been a public
        touchdown prayer advocate. But, I am of the opinion that he would have 
        been in favor of public schools allowing a vocal or silent prayer prior to
        the start of a game. 
           
 Actually, Jesus told us to go into our closet, close the door, and 
        pray to our Father in secret, who will then reward us openly (Matthew 6:6).
        Whether perfectly religiously correct or not, it is obvious, that "Tebowing" has
        now, for better or worse,  been entered into the lexicon of football terminology.
           Three cheers for the home team!
