Faith of an athlete

I'm glad to have read this story:

Avant's Faith is Far From Cliche

It has become so ordinary. Trite even. A receiver catches a touchdown pass, falls to his knees and points to the sky. After the game he tells Suzy Kolber or Bonnie Bernstein or Michelle Tafoya that he wants to thank God.

Admit it. There is a temptation to roll the eyes. It's understandable.

Too many times, that same receiver shows up on TV later, involved in something far from holy. Nobody likes to be duped.

That's exactly how I feel when some athlete comes on television saying he has found Jesus, or that he/she gives all the glory to God. Of course I know athletes aren't the only people that do this. They just get the bigger stage in our society.

Go Eagles! Stay blessed...john
