Welcome To Colorado, Tim Tebow!

There’s been a lot of surprise at the Denver Broncos‘ choice of Tim Tebow in the first round of last night’s NFL draft. From what I’ve seen, many fans are excited about the addition of this promising talent, especially given his work ethic and his personal faith.
In light of his pending move to Colorado, I’ll offer the following suggestions to Mr. Tebow, hoping that he’ll make the transition to our state as well as possible.
- Be prepared for the weather. Colorado ain’t Florida! Even at this late date in April, it is snowing and schools are closing in some parts of the state. Usually the snow stops coming by Memorial Day – but not always.
- In light of the item above get an all-wheel drive or 4WD car. The unpredictable nature of our lovely weather often makes driving difficult. I’m guessing you fit this car-buyer’s profile?
- That there are many, many good churches in the Denver area. Plug in quickly!
- Denver International Airport (which you’ll be using extensively) has some great shops, and I’d suggest Caribou Coffee or Daz Bog for your java needs.
- Colorado housing prices are relatively stable (and cheaper than much of Florida). Wait a while before buying a place though, as there are so many good neighborhoods here. None near the ocean, however.
- Colorado is home to several spectacular National Parks. What a beautiful part of the country to call home!
- There are many good Christian radio stations in Colorado, and I hope you’ll tune into one of them for Focus on the Family as your schedule allows.
Those are some initial suggestions to help with Tim’s move – or maybe yours? – to Colorado. Maybe you have additional thoughts…leave a comment.
UPDATE: See Jim Daly’s blog for his post welcoming Tim to Denver.
UPDATE: I should have congratulated OU’s Sam Bradford for his selection as the number one overall draft pick! Great to see the Rams’ confidence in his future. Also, congrats to Texas QB Colt McCoy on his new home in Cleveland (and you are still wearing orange! Go ‘Horns!). Two outstanding young men who have strong testimonies about their faith. Click their names to see why they are really “second,” despite their draft status.
