Bobby Bowden in Tampa for Super Sunday
LUTZ (FBW)- Former Florida State University (FSU) Head Football Coach Bobby Bowden unashamedly professed his faith in Jesus Christ to a crowd of nearly 10,000 during morning services at Idlewild Baptist Church in Lutz Feb. 7 on Super Bowl Sunday.
The second most winningest college football head coach in history gave the congregation the same advice he gave his assistant coaches at FSU upon his retirement after the Gator Bowl in January. He told them never to be afraid to speak out for Christ.
Near Tampa, the sight of last year's Super Bowl and where fellow Baptist and coaching legend Tony Dungy retired after his coaching career, Bowden said as a young boy, he walked forward during an invitation and joined a Baptist church.

Philippians 3:2-15; 4:8: February 14- What will it take to change your mind?
You may have heard the story about the woman whose favorite pet died. She brought it to the local pastor to ask if he could give the dog a proper burial. He answered somewhat snootily, that he wasn’t accustomed to having formal rites for an animal. She picked up her dead pet and then remarked she intended to donate a new church bus in honor of the dog. The pastor remarked, “My goodness! Why didn’t you say that was a Baptist dog?”
Mark 13:9-13, 21-27, 32-37: February 14 - Preparing for the future
Priorities are a key to life. Without priorities, an individual drifts aimlessly. Not only do priorities allow us to follow and reach a God-given vision, priorities produce a balanced life. In one of his letters, C. S. Lewis wrote: “Put first things first and we get second things thrown in: Put second things first and we lose both first and second things.” In addition, priorities reveal character, or perhaps, I should say living by priorities reveals character. When an individual faces tough decisions, established priorities prevents panic, despair, and anxiety. As situations arise, base your decisions on pre-chosen priorities.
