I finally saw something on the news and Twitter worth writing about. This article was written by Fox 29 Philadelphia | Fox News
Before his season was ended by a knee injury, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was making news for his playmaking ability.
Tuesday, the MVP candidate made headlines with his response to a Twitter user who was critical of a hunting photo he posted to wish one of his dogs a happy birthday.
“Happy 5th Birthday to Mama Henley! We’ve been through a lot in 5 years. Best dog and hunting buddy I could ask for!”
Wentz, known to be an avid hunter, took to Twitter late Monday night to wish his dog, Henley, a Happy 5th Birthday. In his tweet he included a photo of the dog when she was a puppy, and a photo of her standing over several geese following an apparently successful day of hunting.
One follower responded to Wentz’s tweet saying in part, “As a friend I wanted to quickly highlight that a man in your influential position might cause offence (sic) through the posting of your first picture. I support its sentiment however the context and content of the pic could offend.”
Wentz then shared that user’s tweet and included his response to the user’s claim the photo could be offensive.
“Appreciate that, but offensive and controversial? Two of the main things I tweet about are Jesus and hunting. That’s what I’m passionate about and that won’t ever change! When you love something, you talk about it! Stay convicted about it and don’t worry what others think!”
I say bravo! I’m now one of his biggest fans. If only more Christians would be so bold. He didn’t take the guy’s head off with his response, but made it clear what he stands for in a loving Christ-like way. Very cool . . .
Being politically correct is cowardly. Rise up! Stand for something!
And remember, “When you love something, you talk about it! Stay convicted about it and don’t worry what others think!”
Eph. 4:15
Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
