Tim Tebow used his fame as a way to help kids with dyslexia, ADHD, cancer patients, and disadvantaged kids. He is known…
Ragamuffin Gospel Reflection Reading the Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning was a challenge; while I agreed with his thoughts and feeling the style in which it was written I found to be very cumbersome. Then this feeling of being critical of the writing made me feel guilty because the subject and the topic is so important and many individuals give the book very high reviews.

Immediately after losing the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning, Russell Wilson, and Cam Newton…
The age-old argument of Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning has been going on since Brady was drafted in 2000. Who is the better quarterback? Who’s the best quarterback to ever play in the NFL.
