found such great faith

This deserves to be not only the lead story on ESPN, but also the lead story on Beliefnet, Christianity Today, and in a perfect world, CNN. It is the story of obedience, not charity, though, as this story makes it out to be. It is the story of love, since obedience is love. But the obedience here is not from son to father (although that is partly it); it is rather the story of obedience to God.

Michael Redd honors his mother and father, a commandment. He keeps his promise and does not bear false witness, a commandment. He tithes faithfully, a command if not a commandment. He keeps Bibles in his cars, and if he does indeed read them regularly, he is obedient to keeping His word at the center of his thoughts. This story is not a simple love story, but rather a grand faith story. And one in a perfect world is lifted up for all to see.
