NFL Superstar Drew Brees Encourages Kids To Bring Bibles to School, 'Share God's Love with...

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is urging America’s students to live out their faith by bringing Bibles to school.

Brees, one of the all-time great NFL quarterbacks, made his comments in a video supporting Bring Your Bible to School Day, an Oct. 3 event that is sponsored by the Christian organization Focus on the Family.

“Hey guys, Drew Brees here,” Brees says in the video. “One of my favorite verses in the Bible is 2 Corinthians 5:7, ‘For we live by faith, not by sight,’ so I want to encourage you to live out your faith on Bring Your Bible to School Day, and share God’s love with friends. You’re not alone.”

MY COMMENT:

Nothing more American than this!

As a soldier, I brought my personal bible with me on deployments, and carried the 91st Psalm printed on a camouflaged scarf in Iraq, referring to it frequently, and especially before going out on convoys.

Our faith is personal, but because of the protections of the Constitution, created and preserved by men of God, our founders, we are able to FREELY EXPRESS our religious faith.

Drew Brees is a hero on and off the field, and a Great American.

Let's all go one step further and bring our Bibles to WORK on October 3rd, and set the example for our kids!

I think I'm just going to leave a copy sitting on my desk, so that anyone who happens by can see it. Who knows, maybe it will help strike up a conversation?
