It's been an exciting year with a few changes. The New Japan Pro
Wrestling has been a lot of fun. I have had 4 tours with them this
year and did most of there big shows. The last one in the Tokyo
Dome wrestling Muta was a crazy match in front of about 40 thousand
people. They are all great guys to work with and the wrestling there
is much different than what I did in WWE. It's been a lot of fun.
But with the commitment to Pro Wrestling I had to take some time
off from fighting. I did have one of the biggest fights of my career
in August as I took on former UFC Champion Ricco Rodriguez in a
tough fought 3 round match. I won a unanimous decision over him
and took home the WEC Super heavyweight belt.
All that aside I have further taken the next step in my ministry
with Team Impact as I now am leading out teams on my own. I was
able to take Justin my oldest son to Australia with me this summer
and do a 2 week mission trip with him and the team. It was a great
opportunity for us to spend some time together and to spend it honoring
Christ as we spoke to Thousands of children in Australia Schools
and Churches. It was a blessing. I have kept a very busy schedule
and it's hard to be gone from my family as much as I am. God honors
that time I do get to spend with them. When I am home, I am home
and spend every minute I can with them. They are both having great
football seasons and looking forward to Wrestling as it's right
around the corner. Jody and I continue on our journey as we celebrated
18 years of marriage this year, It just doesn't seem possible, Wow.
She has been a blessing in my life. It takes a special woman to
put up with my schedule and not have me around like most husbands.
She has so many responsibilities with the boys schedule as well
as running a successful business of her own. It comforts her to
know the men I travel with and the integrity of Team Impact. She
has gone on many crusades with me and see's the guys I get to spend
my time with. That is so important to know your spouse is in good
hands when they are away, In my case it's God's hand. He has blessed
me so much with this ministry I really don't understand how he could
use a person such as me to further his kingdom but I am so honored
to do so. Every week I feel such a rush as people give there lives
to Christ, and to feel like I was used in a small way to help that
happen humbles me.
This position with Team Impact has put life into perspective for
me and really opened my eyes to what's important in Life. It's not
the big house or fancy car, fame or glory but having Jesus as my
best friend, and to serve him daily.
God Bless you...
