![]() Why Lattimore will recover
By HARRIS C. MURRAY "I do not know Marcus Lattimore personally. I would like to. Despite the horrific injury he sustained on the football field, the indelible memory I will take away from that game was Marcus pointing to the sky after he scored a touchdown. Marcus places his faith and trust in Jesus Christ. He knows that football is temporal and that his life is eternal. I believe Marcus trusts God at a far deeper level than most. Marcus gives credit to God for everything in his life — even the difficult things he has had to endure. Marcus stated after Dylan Thompson took over as starting quarterback that he reminded him, as Dylan does for Marcus every game, “Remember who you are playing for.” That “who” is Jesus Christ, to whom Marcus looks for his redemption and his life of faith. These are not ideas that the media easily embraces. They categorize Marcus as a “fine young man,” a “humble guy,” a “selfless player.” All those attributes are apparently true, but what is truer is that Marcus has developed these attributes by having Jesus Christ as the Lord of his life. No media will cover Marcus’ spiritual character. But it has everything to do with why Marcus Lattimore will recover and will recover strongly. Perhaps he will never play football again. No one can make that prognostication at this moment. http://m.thetandd.com/news/opinion/columns/why-lattimore-will-recover/article_e79400cc-2535-11e2-b479-001a4bcf887a.html |

![]() Maybe I clicked wanting to read an article about one of my favorite players ever and was upset to realize that it was mostly religious nonsense that had nothing to do with football so I closed it. How would you feel if I linked an article about how Marcus won't come back and it was all about satan?

![]() Great Article, nice to see young people like myself take a stand, and let it be known that Jesus is the lord of their lives, and actually spread the word of how knowing Jesus can change one's life.

![]() Obviously not seeing as that's just poor manners. I also don't think he would go out of his way to make it all about religion if he knew the person he was talking to did not necessarily see things his way. I just find it odd how religion is not allowed, unless it is Christian. One post disagreeing with it and everyone is out of the woodwork to jump. I would imagine that an article about the intricacies of Marcus's surgery that was peppered with quotes from the doctor about how the prayer doesn't do near as good a job as the anesthesia would not be looked upon favorably. Maybe we could just put something in these titles that mention it being religious so people don't go on those threads if they don't want to read about it. I was expecting an article about Marcus, not a testimony to faith, I'm here for football not church.

![]() I feel for you. You obviously dont have what Marcus has to make him the special person he is And that's NOT his skill with a football.

None of that is to offend you but it up to you to either ignore or believe. Your choice. |

Point taken and understood, that is why God allows for us to have free will, we can choose to do anything we would like, but i dont think the article was meant to offend anyone it was meant to inspire, Christian or not Marcus' testimony is inspiring, to have that much faith and good will in your heart is inspiring.

I completely respect that you don't agree with the article. But I still don't understand the idea that you are trying to act like you were unfairly subjected to opening an article that you didn't like. You should have just closed the article and went about your life. |
