The former Florida quarterback and his mother will appear in a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl next month. The Christian group Focus on the Family says the Tebows will share a personal story centering on the theme “Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life.”I haven't followed the Tebow story too closely, but I know he's very vocal about his Christian faith. I did watch the Florida-Cincinnati bowl game in which the announcers talked about Tebow's faith as if he had some kind of disease. It'll be interesting to see if this actually makes it on the air considering that NBC yanked CatholicVote's pro-life commercial from the SuperBowl last year. I pray that this commercial airs and that Tebow keeps his faith as he enters the NFL. This could just be the beginning of his story - a story which has already made it into America's living rooms.
The group isn’t releasing details, but the commercial is likely to be an anti-abortion message chronicling Pam Tebow’s 1987 pregnancy. After getting sick during a mission trip to the Philippines, she ignored a recommendation by doctors to abort her fifth child and gave birth to Tim.
