In a statement released to the media, young Northrup said: \u201cI have a tremendous amount of respect for Cassy and Megan and their accomplishments. However, wrestling is a combat sport and it can get violent at times. As a matter of conscience and my faith I do not believe that is appropriate for a boy to engage a girl in this manner. It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in most other high school sports in Iowa.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n I think this makes it hard for us to slow down and listen, especially to God. Many of us are like Martha in Luke\u2019s Gospel, running around in our little self-made circles of activity, instead of calmly sitting at His feet and listening like Mary did.<\/em><\/p>\n I\u2019m addicted to the gospel. It burns inside of me. And it seems to get hotter ever day. I can\u2019t stop thinking about it, talking about it, writing about it, reading about it, wrestling with it, reveling in it, standing on it, and thanking God for it. For better or for worse, my focus has become myopic. My passion has become singular. Lesser things don\u2019t distract me as easily. I\u2019m not as anxious as I used to be. I don\u2019t fret over things as much. I\u2019m more relaxed. What others think of me (either good or bad) doesn\u2019t matter as much as it used to. I\u2019m enjoying life more. The pressure\u2019s off. I actually think I\u2019m beginning to understand the length and breadth of the freedom Jesus purchased for me.<\/em><\/p>\nBefore you shoot off your next e-mail…<\/a><\/h4>\n
