TIM TEBOW, DENVER BRONCOS QUARTERBACK AND "TEBOW-ING"...........

National Football League Denver Broncos Quarterback, Tim Tebow, with a 7-1 record of victory, which many view as improbable given his erratic passing and only second season experience, has created quite a sensation in athletic circles and throughout the country, with his open sharing and display of faith and prayerfulness on the football field, as well as off.  His open displays of bending down on one knee and bowing his head with a fisted hand resting upon it, has come under intense scrutiny.  In the news today, the one day suspension of four high school students in Long Island, New York, for emulating the Denver Broncos Quarterback, by, "Tebowing", taking the player's stance on the floor of their school hallway between classes.  School Administrators cite the potential for causing a riot, as shoving and pushing taking part by the students slowed or stopped in the hallway, due to their demonstration.  Was a suspension of the students warranted, instead of a  warning ?  Or do the religious overtures inherent in the students action, the real reason ?  Tim Tebow himself is getting mixed reviews for his Tebowing.  It should be no surprise that it would be criticized and sanctiions taken against it in public schools.  What Would The Jesus Who Comes Everyday Do ?  As Advent People of God, what should we do in response to what Tebowing represents ?...........Fr.  Troy
