Super Bowl Faith

Lost amid the hoopla and the hype of two African-American coaches reaching the Super Bowl for the first time was this. Both Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy know what is truly important in life: following Jesus.

I found a link to a neat site where both coaches share about their faith. Tony Dungy, who lost his son recently said:

"If God had had a conversation with me, had said, 'I can help some people see. I can heal some people's relationships. I can save some people's lives. I can give some people eternal life--but I'll have to take your son to do it. You make the choice.' I know how I would have answered that. I would have said 'No, I'm sorry. As great as all that is, I don't want to do that.' And that's the awesome thing about God. He had that choice. And He said 'Yes, I'm gonna do it.' two thousand years ago with His Son Jesus on the cross. And because He said 'Yes', because He made the choice that I wouldn't make as a parent, that's paved the way for us to come back into relationship with Him.
