Joe Gibbs Brings ‘God’ To GOP Proceedings

ST. PAUL –- John McCain and Sarah Palin’s election “would be a return to God’s word” and return the U.S. “back to a spiritual revival,” Joe Gibbs, former head coach for the Washington Redskins and NASCAR race car owner, told the Republican National Convention Thursday. In the most religious-themed prime time speech of the four-day convention, Gibbs, a grandfather of eight, compared a spiritual life to football. In football, he said, to win one must have a game plan and God’s game plan is the Bible. “If you follow God’s plan, his Bible, his word, it leads to success. When I followed that game plan, I was able to have some of the greatest experiences in the world. Bad game plan, leads to disaster. I can attest to that.” Gibbs closed his remarks with one piece of advice: When tackling the big issues, “Wouldn’t it be great for someone to say, ‘I wonder how God would think about this?” (link)
