Sheen and Dungy

"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?"  – Mark 8:36

Charlie Sheen was making about $2 million an episode for his role in "2-1/2 Men." At 20 episodes a year, he was doing very well for himself.  And as the star of the richest sitcom in TV history, Charlie had a tremendous platform from which to glorify God. Instead Charlie chose to snort cocaine, beat his wives, and have "epic" parties with prostitutes.  He currently has two girlfriends, both of whom now live with him.  Charlie has sold his soul to gain the world.

Tony Dungy spent 31 years in the NFL, first as a player, and then as a coach.  As a coach, Tony lays claim to a number of notable accomplishments. He was the youngest coach in the NFL at 25. The youngest coordinator at 28. The first NFL head coach to defeat all 32 teams in the league. And the first black coach to win a Super Bowl. 

As a coach, Tony saw himself first as a teacher who put faith and family ahead of football.  He was a new breed of coach who possessed a "Quiet Strength," and taught his teams, by example, the power of prayer. Tony, an evangelical Christian, is souled out for Christ. He retired from the NFL at the pinnacle of his coaching career, to devote his life to God, his ministries, and mentoring young men. 

Tony's powerful witness can be found on www.iamsecond.com and www.allprodad.com.  You will be tremendously rewarded by visiting both sites. I have also included a short video clip that offers an excellent insight to this true Christian role model:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL7QV8UNm58

You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
