a member of Matt Hughes forum "CRiScO" deemed it necessary to tell others about how forum members affected him


thought I would post this here so you guys can see it. I have done some soul searching and wanted to share some of this with you guys... It gives a special shout to the forum thank you all so much for everything. The following memers of Matt Hughes forum have really impacted me, they are...

-----------------------


The Revival...


I've done that thing again where I stop and look at what I'm doing and I try my best to rationalize all the things I've done and continue to do wrong. I have to stop that. My life must be put back together and I have the three greatest gifts a man can ask for... I have a beautiful family, The best girl I've ever and will ever have and finally after a lifetime of sin and self indulgence a true love of Jesus Christ.

The world is a difficult place and it hurts to watch those I love look at me like I'm some sort of Pariah because of my faith... God gave us all a purpose in life and I won't be pompus enough to think I know what mine is. I don't know where I'm going with this to be honest but felt like I needed to write down something to mark the day I revived myself.

I'm rededicating myself to Christ, MMA, and my career. I'd like to take the time to shout out everyone who in some way or another has helped me along.

Ricky- Even though sometimes I disagree with you Your strong reliance on the gospel is an inspiration in determination. Thank you very much for sending me my first bible and hitting me hard enough so that I'd see what I was doing was wrong.

Dave- You my friend are an interesting human being and I do respect you. I understand how difficult it must for you dealing with the things you must deal with and I pray for you... I know God will help you and you WILL be everything you want to be.

Nate- We don't talk much but I admire you aswell... We didn't get along much because of how I acted and I'm sorry I was so ignorant it took a long time for me to realize how valid many of the things you say are. Your very intelligent and I would also like to thank you for your hard nose approach toward my salvation.

Chuck- Your a great friend and you have been there for me when I needed it the most and you never even knew it. Thanks so much brother and Ill be in NPR july 19th and I'd like to meet up before I go back home.

Boomer- Your just you brother... Your the man not much more to say there.

EVERYONE at the Matt hughes Forum- If not for you guys I'd never have known who jesus really is or what he means to all of us. The combitination of you people and your approaches have made me a better person and inspired me to do my best to help others. Everyone of you is awesome and I really appreciate you for everything you do on a daily basis I look forward to meeting more of you.

I don't want to ramble so I will close with it's a new day for me God bless and thank you all for everything.
