Much has been written in the news this past year about Tim Tebow's Christian beliefs and it has been encouraging to see this young man take a stand for God. Recently our local paper took time to update the story of another Christian quarterback, Danny Weurffel. Danny was quarterback at Florida under Coach Steve Spurrier and won the Heisman Trophy in 1996. In June of 2011, Danny was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare disorder that causes your immune system to attack your nerves. The recovery is a long process, as described in this article "Weurffel's recovery may take another year." Another very inspiring article was in last Sunday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In the AJC article "Before Tim Tebow..." the writer discusses in detail how that Weurffel was a role model for a young Tim Tebow and also updates his current ministry, Desire Street Ministries. "The refiner’s fire is molding and shaping a deeper and better me." Danny Weurffel
