Recently an image was posted by an influencial DFW pastor. Not only do I respect the local pastor, but this image also involved Dr. John Piper was is an incredible man of God. The circumstances, as they appeared in the photo, however concerned me and I decided to begin my own investigation.
My concerns really began when I received word that the local (well respected) DFW pastor took an under-age family member on a long journey to worship a relic. Photographic evidence of family member and relic can be found at his blog (http://gunny93.blogspot.com/). Then this most recent photo invloving such an incredible theologian who appeared to be under some form diress.
Instantly I began thinking of similar situations I had experienced over the years.
I remember the Vulcan nerve pinch:
And the “Iron Claw” of the Fritz Von Erich” (yes I used to go to the Sportatorium and eat Jack’s Fries)
And now this:
Was Dr. Piper involved in this voluntarily? Still researching the answer.

The force wasn’t working on him (only for the weak-minded), but the Vulcan death grip was getting his attention. Let’s just say, if Mrs. Piper hadn’t jumped in, The Pipe would have been borderline abducted into our taxi minivan for some culinary delight!
Lance was too skeered to break out the iron claw to ensure success. We’ll be better prepared next year, I can assure you.
P.S. You’ll have to share tomorrow about your trips to the Sportatorium! That was wrestling in its prime.
