The Super Bowl broadcast is perhaps the only television event in which people look forward to the commercials as much as the program. This year's telecast will feature the best Super Bowl commercial of all time.
It was announced today that Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother, Pam, will appear in a 30 second pro-life ad titled "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life." The spot is sponsored by Focus on the Family, and is being funded by private donations given specifically for the project.
Tebow's parents were working as Christian missionaries in the Philippines while Pam was pregnant with him. She refused medical advice to abort Tim after she contracted a life-threatening infection. Doctors warned that the drugs she took to fight the infection could harm her child's development. Instead she chose life for the future college football star.
The Tebow family remains committed to Christian missionary activity, and are very active in the pro-life movement.
Congratulations to the Tebows. May their message on Super Bowl Sunday inspire a nation that needs to re-discover the incomparable value of human life.
