Mike Massey – 9 Time World Champion

Sunday August 14, 2005 Pat and I went to Champions for our Sunday pool fix. We had the pleasure to hang out with Mike Massey!!! 9 time world champion, his latest victory at the 2005 World Games in Bottrop We have seen him compete on television and we were delighted to meet him in person this past Sunday. We asked Massey where he was from and his where abouts. His response was, I have 3 homes, where I was born – Tennessee, where I live now (I forgot) and where I will live – Heaven. Mike was very religious and talked openly about it. He signed our book and picture and added “Jesus loves us” He talked to me about how special my name was, ( I don’t remember his story, I was a little shocked) Something about there are 2 types of Angels, and I have a head start to Heaven if I have accepted Jesus into my life. We chatted for a while, he reminded me of my dad. My dad loves to talk about Jesus too. He was refreshing to talk too and a wonder to watch!

Watch this video clip of him doing a few trick shots. It was a pool hall, so it is a bit dark, but you can still see. It was SO fun to be there. My leg kept shaking in excitement and my heart was pounding. I was just so excited to see a world champion right before me!!
