Don't throw stones from a Glass house!
I guarantee I have displayed behaviors that if I had the opportunity to look back and see would without a doubt embarrass and shame my family, friends and myself. I carry with me a mountain of sin. Some that come too mind I would take back in an instant if I could. But I can't and I have to deal with that sin myself.
However, on this day we celebrate "Good Friday" also known as "Holy Friday". On Good Friday, a man named Jesus Christ proved to us he was the son of God and was publicly embarrassed and brutally murdered for one reason.... "To save me from that sin". Christ was dead for a 3 day period and then on a day we call "Easter", Christ escaped the grave to sit at the side of God. So guess what Lucas Baker. Those people you saw smoking marijuana outside of a kids wrestling tournament still have the same chance you do... to turn from that sin and follow Christ.
However I would like to Challenge any and all people including TOHK, Lucas Baker, et al. To take a deep look into your own life and sins. Are your sins better than the sins you notice of others? Is smoking weed in private any better than doing it in public? Lucas, I specifically remember you publicly telling us you got drunk at home when you got a refund check and called out individuals in the wrestling community for not believing what you believe (paraphrased). Is that a sinful or inappropriate act? Are you free of sin? If you are, than I say, you are allowed to bash others for any and all sins you see. However, if you are a sinner... and I have a feeling your sins are the same in some respect... then work on correcting your own lives and walk before you try and call out others for what you perceive "sinful acts".
For the record: Growing up and being in this sport in many different areas I have been around many different Kids wrestling clubs where coaches and parents smoke weed among other drugs, get drunk beyond recognition, cheat on their spouses within and outside of the club(Adultery), fight and argue, steal money, etc. So why are we calling out only TOHK???? Why not call them out too... I'll tell you why, because it is not right!!!!!!!!!!!
None of us are ever going to be good enough to do that as there was only one perfect walk/life on this earth. And he died for you to be imperfect and to love each other just as he loved you!
Have a great Easter Week-end.
