I would have to agree with Grey Piper. I took some classes at one of our local Universities. At certain times during the day, the Muslim students line nearly all of the hallways with their prayer rugs as they face Mecca and pray. Of course, this obstructs all of the hallways – makes it very difficult to move from one class to the next class before the bell rings for the next class. The Muslim students are NEVER scolded for being late when they arrive in class five or ten minutes after the class has started. I am partially handicapped and worry about tripping over one of those rugs in the hallway. Although I would agree with Cassandra that Jesus DID advise everyone to pray privately in their own closet, the Scripture record ALSO shows that the early Disciples, including Paul, did their fair share of preaching in the streets. See Acts 2 and Acts 17 for starters. Of course, the Disciples, including Paul, ended up getting arrested fairly often as well. See also Acts 4, Acts 16 and Acts 22 for starters.

Very good! Did you now that Tim preaches at schools and prisons during the off season?

Good Tebowing is catching on more. At least a great trend no one getting arrested for praying.

If he is doing it sincerely, I have no problem with it. However, he does seem to do it rather gratuitously—or else the media make it look so.
(Nit pick: doesn’t the “Tebow” include the head resting on a clenched fist?)
