Timmy Tebow And The Joy of Proving People Wrong

After reading the autobiography of this unique athlete before this NFL season ever began, I had the feeling that if Tim Tebow was ever given a chance to play, he'd surely make the most of it.  After leading the Broncos to a playoff victory and perhaps the most surprising turnaround team of the season, Tim Tebow has proven himself again...yet he still has doubters. 

The funny thing is, Tim Tebow loves doubters.  He thrives on proving people wrong.  After all, he's done it since birth.  While pregnant with Tim, his mother Pam Tebow (while living in the Philippines) contracted a horrible sickness in the latter stages of her pregnancy.  Doctors advised her that she should terminate the pregnancy not only to save her own life, but for the fact they thought the baby would be born so disfigured and weak he'd have what they termed, "A miserable existence."

Pam was determined that she'd have a healthy child and against all medical odds --she did.  Her son Timmy Tebow began life by quieting the doubters and continues to do it today.   Not only does he do it with class and a refreshingly giving spirit, he does so while keeping his job in perspective and giving thanks where it is due.
