Tim Tebow’s pledge

Tim Tebow's Pledge
Tim Tebow's Pledge, 2008

For those of you unable to make the pilgrimage to Gainesville, Florida, I’m posting a photo of the famous pledge by Tim Tebow, made in the University of Florida’s National Championship season. This plaque hangs outside Florida Field at the UF football stadium:

THE PROMISE
To the fans and everybody in Gator Nation, I’m sorry.
I’m extremely sorry. We were hoping for an undefeated season.
That was my goal. Something Florida has never done here.

I promise you one thing. A lot of good will come out of this.
You will never see any player in the entire counrtry play as hard as I will play the rest of the season.
You will never see someone push the rest of the team as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season

You will never see a team play harder than we will the rest of the season.

God Bless.

— Tim Tebow

Wouldn’t it be a pity…

…two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance — “Under God.” Wouldn’t it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools too?

Meanwhile, atheists are protesting in response to the March, 2010 decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, in California, that the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance are not unconstitutional:

the phrase “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance. (source:

MOVIE REVIEW: Flight of the Living Dead (2007)

  • GENRE: Zombie Horror
  • ACTORS: David Chisum, Sarah Laine, Richard Tyson, Erick Avari, Derek Webster, Kristen Kerr, Kevin J. O’Connor, Laura Cayouette, Dale Midkiff
  • Flight of the Living Dead

  • RATING: NR (but I would guess it would be an “R” or higher if it had been rated)
  • PARENTAL NOTE: Not intended for children. Bad language and questionable situations. Violence. Zombie mayhem and gore.
  • INTENDED AUDIENCE: This movie is intended for fans of the genre, and may not be appreciated by others.
  • GENERAL PLOT: (No spoilers) Zombies get loose on a plane, and things go from bad to worse.
  • REVIEW: This is not your typical zombie B-Movie. I don’t know the budget, but this flick has the look and feel of a major motion picture. This movie is basically snakes on a plane–but substitute zombies for snakes. Major zombie mayhem and gore. The acting is OK, but not much is required (say a few words, scream, get bit by a zombie, turn into a zombie, and bite someone else). The zombies look good. Good action. The plot is original, though not much is required in a zombie movie. Sure, you have to ignore some plot devices that cross the line into just plain asinine–exploding devices on board an airplane, and the whole ending of the movie, for example. Still, I’ve seen lots of zombie movies–the good, the bad, and the awful. Flight of the Living Dead is definitely one of the best the genre has to offer
  • RECOMMENDATION:[2. If you wonder why zombie themes and horror films have space on a Christian website like K_Line Christian Online, please see my blog post on point] This is a zombie horror movie. Many people will be highly offended by every movie in this genre because of the graphic violence, gore, language and other questionable elements. However, if you are a fan of this genre–this movie is highly recommended!
  • RATING (out of 5 stars):
