Tim Tebow in New York??!!

You are hearing all the reasons why it won't work from the sport scribes and broadcasters. At the same time, you can surely detect the gasps of anticipation from the faith-based institutions and believers. And if the Highest Power in the Universe knows anything about football, He'd agree with all of us. But wait, how could He be so duplicitous, you ask???:

Tebow with the Jets will surely disrupt that already tenuous lockerroom; he will be a great teammate; the Jets won't win the Super Bowl; ... and this fine young man will not have an hour to himself, what with the many Christians in the greatest city in the world (and most worldly by the way) wanting him to visit every enclave that looks like a church, from the Upper East Side of NYC to the heart of the Central Ward in Newark.

So how could The Higher Power support such a conflagration of confusion? Because as Tim Tebow has said before, God could care less about who wins what football game. On the other hand, THE MOST CREATIVE FORCE IN THE UNIVERSE has set up an economy and design of living that if followed, will achieve results far superior than what the performer himself may be hoping for.

Tim Tebow is not the greatest quarterback in the world, but he may be the greatest football player to play the position of quarterback. Thus, he will continue to live life to the fullest, not have faith in God-but rather have the FAITH OF GOD; he will compete for the starting job against a good kid (Sanchez), ... and the glittering Big Apple will see a wonderful example of how life and competing should be done. (Yep, Tim Tebow's life mirrors each of the ...11 Secrets of Arimathea.)

For those who may be worried about Tebow and his followers throwing a net over you to get you to go to their church, relax. Tebow's job is to live his life and work and perform as he has been instructed. If you want to take a cue or two from him, ... great. It's not his job to convince you on a Higher Power--it's his job to help his team win games. In the end, on the other hand, more of us will follow his example than the Jets will win games. But, as said above, WHAT DID WE EXPECT, GOD CAN CARE LESS ABOUT WHO WINS WHAT FOOTBALL GAME.

Welcome to New York, Tim. It will be exciting seeing this SUPERNATURAL plan unfold. There are a few of us who know your stay here is not about football, but more important things.

Mike D'Antoni Will Coach Again

Mike, you left it all on the court. Continued success. We look forward to your next Head Coaching assignment. If a Leader is popular with everyone, he/she is not a GREAT LEADER.

SECRETS OF LEADERSHIP SUCCESS, ... Well Received at St. Mary's of Rutherford (NJ) HS

On Friday, February 3, the student body and leadership at St. Mary's of Rutherford responded well to a talk customized for their wonderful family of teachers, administrators, coaches, and students.

A couple of reactions:

1. "I sincerely enjoyed meeting you Friday. I had a few guys from the team come up and tell me how they enjoyed your talk. Thank you for taking the time to come to St. Mary H.S and join our team of educators who care deeply about the youth of today!
lets do it again Joe, you were terrific!"

2. "I want to personally thank you for a great presentation to our student body. I believe it made our students reflective upon the spiritual as well as the materialistic components of life. You humor acted as a perfect segue into the real values that they need to establish for themselves."

As I told the large group at the onset of the talk, I knew one life that day would be changed. It was mine! What a great group of young people and adult leaders, serving each other in this wonderful example of private education at its best.

TIM TEBOW WILL HAVE SHORT CAREER...

in professional football. However, he will leave it sooner than his present strongest critics will then endorse.

Think about it.

TIM TEBOW AND LEADERSHIP 101

Today, Wednesday, December 14, 2011, a must-see column by Matthew Dowd in the Star Ledger teaches some valuable lessons on Leadership.

Go to http://www.nationaljournal.com/reporters/bio/14  for a basic look on Leadership (or the lack thereof), as written by Dowd and demonstrated by the Denver Bronco QB.

Tim Tebow is not just another NFL player who happens to believe in the Higher Power. He has taken proverbial wisdom on how to live and applied it to his calling--to be the best Leader he can possibly be as a professional football player.

Dowd scores a TD here.

CORNELL UPSETS PENN, NOV. 19, 2011

A spectacular sun-drenched Franklin Field was the arena that displayed a talented group of Cornell underclassman upsetting reigning Ivy Champs, the Penn Quakers, 48-38.

Cornell and Ivy League records for game and season fell. It was a day to remember that began with a group of Cornell coaches and players buying into Secrets 3, 4, and 11 of The 11 Secrets of Arimathea.

"The pre-game chapel meeting was quite an experience," reports Joe Cervasio who facilitated the short module the morning of the game. "I think they were ready to take on LSU today."

Finishing at 5-5, the Big Red is destined to be an Ivy power in 2012.
