Whatever you believe happened in Damar’s case .. something bigger than him occurred that night. It created a unity in the country around prayer and re-examined the lost reliance in our country on God. I’ve never seen anything like it. Josh noticed it, we all noticed it.. and Damar noticed it.
Still, like so many around the sports world and the planet, I was drawn to the Damar, never before seen, life changing event. It so impressed me, that the HCs, star QBs, teams and many commentators just got it absolutely correct!

As for Sideshow Bob Tebow? Meh. I have always disliked these displays of public adoration, designed to focus on ONE God and pimping up one individual. I always respected the Pharisees- Publicans dichotomy… and you know which side I’m on!
Immediately below is an: “Act like you’ve been Barry Sanders before”, tell. It is the way, I want Christians… hell people to act in life. And they most assuredly did with the Hamlin tale.
“By their deeds you will know them.”
And how cool is this story, that Lamar may one day return to the football field for the Bills as the first person who literally returned from a death experience.
’Spiritual ’ indeed. ✔️
