RE: An Interesting Story You Won't Find on That Website

That is really cool. It reminds me of the story in For Men Only (Yes I have read it as one aged 17 and not in a relationship- I nicked it from my dad's bookcase XD) where it says 
"In the mid 90's, Sports Illustrated did a cover feature entitled 'St. David' on David Robinson, the MVP center for the San Antonio Spurs. One segment described how Robinson handled himself, as a professing Christian, husband, and father, in the midst of the NBA's intense temptations. For example during T.V breaks, he would stare studiously at the floor in order to avoid looking at the gyrating cheerleaders out on the court.
The article also mentioned that like all NBA players, Robinson was constantly approached by attractive women who wanted to talk to him... and were probably offering more than just witty conversation. Apparently, he would rather brusquely brush them off. When asked to comment on that seemingly 'rude' practice, he said something like this: 'If any woman is going to get her feelings hurt, it's not going to be my wife."

Amazing role model, that guy.
Many men should follow his example.
"The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life." -- James L. Christensen

"For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step." Thomas a' Kempis (1380-1471)

Yeah, I know. Kirk is AWESOME! Did you know that Kirk and his wife were "boyfriend and girlfriend" in the show he starred in when he was young "Growing Pains"! Then they got married for real. That's just too cool! Fireproof was AWESOME! I can't wait to see "Courageous"! It comes out next fall!
