Yet another Tim Tebow-inspired Bible-verse search is atop the Google Trends list of hot Web topics this afternoon.
Hebrew 12:1-2 is the number one search term on Google Trends right now.
Why? Tim Tebow.
Tebow is wearing Hebrew 12:1-2 on his eye black during the Florida-Florida State game, which is on TV this afternoon.
Tebow is a deeply religious young man who always puts some Bible verse on his eye black. And that verse almost always becomes the trendiest search topic, a tribute to Tebow's popularity and influence.

For the record, here is the meaning of Hebrew 12:1-2, per BibleGateway.com:
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Comments
I am not against religion at all but how can Tebow be allowed publish religious statements on his face/uniform during a game. I mean where will you draw the line if another player wants to publish an offensive comment on his face. Perhaps it is anti-semetic, etc. How do you draw the line?
Well since writing a Bible verse isn't offensive, a line doesn't need to be drawn. He didn't write a controversial verse about homosexuality or drinking alcohol. It was an inspiring, hopeful verse. If a Muslim wants to write a verse reference from the Koran of the same ilk, then that's fine, too. I think the line is pretty clear.
it is a reference to a verse, it isn't a verse. No one would be offended unless they took it a further step and looked up the verse!!! If you don't want to be offended, then don't find out what it says..simple.
How many people wear crosses around their necks while playing sports? Will this be next?? First Amendment rights, and no one will take it away
