In a world that has become increasingly more negative, at a time when more and more people feel entitled to something because others have what they don’t, it’s hard to find a shining light at center stage.

There are so few solid role models out there for kids to look up to and far too few for parents to point out.

Today, The National Patriot salutes a role model.

Tim Tebow.

You don’t need to be a Bronco’s fan. I’m not. All you need to be is human.

You don’t need to wear your faith on your sleeve either.

All you need is faith.

Tebow has been vilified in a way because he DOES wear his faith on his sleeve and some simply don’t like that.

Too bad.

Tebow is now the most popular athlete out there and it’s not just because he has a way of pulling off the win. It’s because he’s Tebow. He knows exactly who he is and he knows exactly who is responsible for his success.

He knows he isn’t.

Tebow doesn’t really care if you believe as he believes or that you might not think his beliefs have a place on the field of play. He believes and that’s enough for him.

Some other players don’t like it when Tebow drops to one knee but that’s their problem. Some don’t think their team needs God on their sideline. That’s their problem. Some think Tebow is getting too much press. Too bad for them.

Tebow doesn’t do what he does for recognition and that’s the difference.

Recently, John Parr rewrote “St. Elmo’s Fire” because HE was inspired by a quarterback who draws HIS inspiration from a much higher source than a multimillion-dollar contract.

There are many versions of videos out there featuring “Tim Tebow’s Fire” but at The National Patriot, we wanted to find the images which we felt best represent the man, his game, and his faith.

Tim Tebow will win, and lose and he will do both with grace.

Tim Tebow will make mistakes but he will get through them.

Tebow may not get to the Super Bowl this year, but it doesn’t really matter because he has given us a sign of hope in a darker world. That is the story.

If you’re looking for a role model, someone to emulate, it would be hard to find one better than Tim Tebow.

Today, The National Patriot salutes a role model.

Today, we salute Tim Tebow.

We hope you enjoy the video and share this page with others.
