If you have your Bible nearby I encourage you to read Luke 18:1-8 and notice a few...

This is a follow-up on my Wednesday blog about Tim Tebow messing up my plans this week.
You’ve heard about the fact that John 3:16, Tebow’s favorite verse, was Googled more than anything else after his victory Sunday. Since John 3:16 is about the good news of salvation in Christ, it’s hard not to be excited about that.
