- Our church has something called Small Groups where every so often you get together, have dinner, and not exactly have a Bible study, but have an opportunity to discuss certain topics with scripture as the focal point – or something like that. We’ve been invited to attend a few, and me being the introvert, never really wanted to give one a try; but it meant a lot to WifeGeeding so I took one to the team. During one discussion, I heard one of the ladies say “bullshit” in reference to something. That won me over, I’m coming back for more.

Iowa wrestler defaults rather than face girl in state tournament
Cedar Falls freshman Cassy Herkelman made Iowa wrestling history Thursday when she became the first female wrestler to win a match at the state tournament. She did so when her opponent, Joel Northrup, defaulted on their first-round match rather than face a girl.
Northrup, a home-schooled sophomore wrestling for Linn-Mar, was considered one of the favorites to win the 112-pound weight class. After defaulting his first match, however, he now must wrestle in the consolation bracket.
“I 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,” Northrup said in a statement, referring to Herkelman and Ottumwa sophomore Megan Black, the first girls ever to qualify for the state tournament.
“As a matter of conscience and my faith I do not believe that it 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.”
It would be hard enough to lose to a girl, but losing to a home-schooled girl would be even worst. I bet the girl is a really good wrestler, but having a guy wrestle a girl is too much pressure on the guy. First off, by wrestling, even though it’s a sport, I’m sure he’s gonna feel a bit weird having to brush up on her lady parts, even by accident. Second, if wins, he gets teased for beating up a girl by his friends. If he loses, he’ll never live it down.
