T-BOW OR NOT T-BOW

The latest pop culture fad has become Tebowing. Named for Denver Bronco quarterback Tim Tebow, a devout Christian, Tebowing is defined as the following: "(verb) to get down on one knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something else." This according to the new website, tebowing.com.

Now, when Tim Tebow first started sideline praying during a close football game, some detractors chided him for doing so. After winning six games in a row, though, Tebow shut up a lot of the naysayers. In fact, he has unintentionally turned his moment of silent prayer into the latest "in" thing to do. We can all stand some help from a higher power, you know.

Tebowing.com features pictures from around the world submitted to various categories, like toddlers, global, and patriotic, each one showing someone in his or her favorite Tebowing pose. Some proud parents-to-be have actually submitted an ultrasound picture with their expected baby in a pre-natal Tebowing pose. The website sells Tebowing merchandise, like T-shirts and hats, with a percentage of proceeds going to Denver-area charities.

So, Tim Tebow gets the last laugh at all those who criticized him. He gets some inspiration, his team wins some football games, he thanks his Holy Father, and some money is raised for needy folks in Colorado. Somewhere in the heavens, God is shouting, "Hallelujah! You go, Tebow!" Amen to that.
