FAITH PULLS RAMS’ BRUCE

THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES

As a man whose faith has always been first and foremost, Isaac Bruce doesn’t consider it his job to convert anybody. He believes what he believes, and if you think he’s square, well, that’s what you believe. His mother, a minister, raised her other 14 children the same way.

But Bruce, the St. Louis Rams‘ All-Pro receiver in town for William and Mary’s Colonial All-Pro Football Camp, has a couple of stories to make you think. You could call both of them coincidental, and maybe you’d be right. Or you could say that maybe he’s onto something.

The first came on the night of this past Dec. 7 when the Mercedes he was driving blew a tire and skidded off the interstate. His car flipped twice, he wasn’t wearing a seat belt, the airbags didn’t deploy and the convertible roof collapsed. Yet Bruce walked away without a scratch and his girlfriend had only a small cut on her forehead. The reason, Bruce believes, is because as he lost control of the car he called Jesus’ name.
