Brian Krenzelak: Pursuing peace and purpose through seeking wisdom and relaying this message to my family, friends, wrestling community and to anyone willing to follow along or join me in my journeys. Regular pilgrim to one of the most unique places on the entire earth, The Holy Mountain Athos! I have developed a network of friends worldwide both in the Orthodox Christian Community and in the wrestling community. It is no coincidence that I combine these two worlds with the common denominator that both communities are willing to struggle or strive towards maximizing our potential. It is my belief built through my own experiences that it is this willingness to struggle which can uncover the one thing every human seeks - peace and when this peace is truly achieved this is where our ultimate purpose is discovered.
This is utterly disgusting and appalling: Aaron Brooks digging into David Taylor's rectum-that deep-is shocking and reprehensible. I am extremely disappointed and appalled by the recent match where Brooks resorted to such highly questionable and illegal tactics, specifically "oil checking." This act, which involves invasive and deeply inappropriate contact where one defecates, is not just illegal in the sport of wrestling but also a gross violation of the principles upon which sportsmanship is built. This tactic-where one wrestler forcibly invades the personal and private space of another, akin to inserting a panther paw into the opponent's singlet to disrupt their core muscle stability and concentration-is deeply disturbing. It's not just about the unfair advantage it momentarily provides by distracting or disabling the opponent; it's akin to the methods used to stop an aggressive animal. This behavior might happen accidentally in the heat of the moment, but the deliberate and deep invasion by Brooks with more than just one finger is a predatory act that degrades the sport's integrity and shows outright disrespect to fellow athletes. Actions like these not only pose a risk of physical harm but also tarnish the reputation of the sport. They send a dangerous message that could influence young, impressionable athletes, potentially putting our children at risk. This is not just a breach of sporting conduct; it's behavior that borders on the sexual violation of an opponent, something we should all stand against to protect our children and the sanctity of sports. Athletes, coaches, and officials must all hold themselves and each other to the highest standards to ensure that wrestling remains a respected and fair competitive sport. The governing bodies of wrestling must take stringent measures against such misconduct. There must be a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated, with appropriate penalties applied to discourage future occurrences. Furthermore, this incident should lead to broader discussions about sportsmanship, the enforcement of rules, and the ethical training of athletes to foster an environment where fair play is at the forefront. This sport is about more than just winning. It's about how you play the game, how you respect your opponent, and how you honor the tradition of wrestling. Let's not allow the pursuit of victory to degrade the nobility of this great sport. We must demand better from our athletes and from the institutions that govern our sports.
As a Protestant that's one thing that I wouldn't hate if we did that. We basically do nothing regarding honoring those who went before us or having days of respect etc. We definitely shy away from remembering saints.
I feel it is a great and important thing the orthodox do. It does a multitude of things such as keep their memory alive, give us great examples and inspiration and more.
It was on my back porch and I have cats so I got a box and followed it around until it climbed on the box and then gently walked to fence post, it started to sing a bit and then flew into the woods.
Percaya lah pada Yesus juru selamat kita🙏 Dia telah mati di kayu salib untuk hidup kita, semua🙏 hanya, Yesus jalan keselamatan dan hidup🙏 telah banyak saksi yang melihat Yesus di salib dan kematian Nya dan kebangkitan Nya kembali🙏 dan saat Tuhan Yesus naik ke sorga, para rasul menyaksikan kenaikan Nya🙏 apalagi yang meragukan hati kalian🙏 plss
I really appreciate that. I do not like to hear my own voice in a recording so I do not listen to them after I record. But, trying to do God's will, not my own. Thank you for the Blessing.
