Vick Finds Jesus

August 27, 2007

I’m not writing that sarcastically, but just using his own words.

The sports fans out there are probably following the Michael Vick dogfighting saga. Here’s the beginning of CNN’s report on the issue today:

RICHMOND, Virginia (CNN) Shortly after entering a guilty plea Monday to a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge, suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick apologized “for all the things that I’ve done and that I’ve allowed to happen.”

In addition to making apologies to Atlanta Falcons teammates, his coach and the National Football League, Vick also said he was sorry “to all the young kids out there for my immature acts.”

“What I did was very immature so that means I need to grow up,” he said.

He said that he was “disappointed in myself” and that “dogfighting is a terrible thing and I … reject it.”

He said, “Through this situation I’ve found Jesus.”

Let’s pray that it is really true, and not a vain profession by a man trying to clean up his public image.
