Tim Tebow | For God's Glory

2 Tim. 1:7 says

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."

Here's a man filled with so much Power grabbing every opportunity to bring God all the glory He can give. I just pray to be just like him: glorifying God wherever, whenever, whatever.

Some advice is as good as it is self-evident: Don't whittle towards yourself. Don't pee into the wind. Don't enter into a land war in Southeast Asia.

[UPDATE: Official price for the Canon 600EX-RT speedlite was set at: 1 Paul Buff 640WS Einstein + 8" hi-output reflector + 2-grid set + 64" soft silver PLM + 64" diffusion fabric.]
