hero

Tony Dungy is one of my heroes.  One of his friends wrote this about him, "He asked me if there was anybody who I thought could talk to the young man.  I told him Tony Dungy was a man of impeccable integrity, who understands young men." (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=100128/TonyDungy)

How many people can you say that about?  "He is a man or woman of impeccable integrity."  This is the type of integrity that goes beyond external actions; it screams of selflessness and love.  It's the type of integrity Jesus had, willing to give up everything for another.  In that sense, it's no surprise that Tony Dungy is such a powerful witness for Christ.  It's also something that you don't one day just have, impeccable integrity is earned through difficulty and sacrifice.  Here is part of his testimony- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3PUPCR7NFA&feature=related.

I know my own character is far from there, but I pray that He'll keep on directing me and changing me.
