Focus on the Family is sponsoring an ad during the Superbowl that will feature Tim Tebow (Florida Gator Quarterback) and his Mother, Pam Tebow. It is a pro life commercial and although the content of the ad has not been released yet the rumor is Pam Tebow will discuss her refusal to take doctor’s advice and abort Tim because of medical complications. The pro choice groups are all over these and are putting petitions together to force the networks to not run the ads. You can read more about it here.

I hope the networks do not cave and will run the ads!

Here is a list of our daily raffle winners from Higher Ground Music Festival 09. Each winner received a Faithware Bracelet.
