That is some crazy arse sheet!

I had a friend from high-school who was a cop and ended up bringing his computer to Best Buy, they found over 10000 media files of child porn.  Funny thing was that I just assumed he liked hanging out with little kids cause he was a scout master.  I gotta stop giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Kinda hard to post in this thread, but I know the brothers I respect and look up to, are shocked, hurt and filled with doubts about who can be trusted and counted on when someone who has been a backbone in our racing family has so thoroughly fallen.  The fall of this man that so many of us respected, in such a disgraceful manner, is hard to understand.  Here are my thoughts, and I hope you find the courage to recognize that you are roadracers, 1 part hero, 2 parts stupid, and the closest thing to superheroes that most kids will get to experience. Let em see the adventure, honor, courage and upright values in your life. 

I have to ask myself, how many times did Art sit alone, quickly popping up a screen saver at the slightest approaching sound, ashamed of what he was doing, even while doing it.  It is as if we have lost one of our own, or more fitting, been betrayed.  I believe the reality is, Art still cares for all of us very much, but like so many others in our culture, he let the seeds of porn grow unchecked, confident in his reputation and abilities, to think that anyone would catch on, and like all porn, over time it mutates worse and darker the longer we allow it in.  The Center for Disease Control has declared porn is epidemic in the collapse of marriages.  And this particular type of porn, involving children, leaves many broken and damaged little ones to grow up into very hurt, damaged, and potentially dangerous adults.  It is a cycle that feeds on pain and selfish gratification at the expense of others, and brings shame to all involved.

There is a passage in the Bible where Christ is staring into the hearts of men, and tells em, outwardly you are whitewashed tombs, meaning they appear clean and worthy of respect.  Yet inwardly you hold the rotting bones of dead men. 

Kinda crazy when ya think about it, we're so used to seeing the cute baby Jesus pics, that we forget, He stared in the face, the darkest recesses of men's hearts, the vile, murderous hatred, the arrogance, the deepest lustful pornographic desires, abuse, and all the related pain, even His own rejection, and He still gave His life so that we might find forgiveness and a new life.  It's time for Art to begin that new life, the old is forever lost, with much pain and betrayal in its wake.  But in the end of this, when his heart and mind are restored, there is still a chance that Betty will finally have her husband for herself and the golden years might still shine for them.  Prayers for all involved, we have a Savior, there is hope.  #220

Well said Art. Jesus has already suffered for our iniquities. I will be praying for their family in this crisis.
