The big news in Jacksonville this week is that Tim Tebow decided to sign with the Florida Gators. Timmy Tebow, as his coach calls him, was also featured on ESPN2 "Faces of Sports" Weds night and that show will air again Monday night at 11:00 pm. His unique story is that Tebow was a "home school" student, and the state of Florida passed a law in 1996 allowing home school students to play on public school sports teams. Playing quarterback for Nease High School in St. Augustine, Tim set many records. My son and I were able to catch one game this year and we both agreed that Tebow plays like a college quarterback already. Also, his parents were missionaries in the Philippines for about 17 years, started an orphanage there and they all go back to the Philippines every summer on a mission trip. Not only is he a good athlete, but he has strong leadership qualities and Christian character. You can read more at www.firstcoastnews.com and watch several videos about the future Gator.
