     Hi!  My name is Matt Yuhas.  Welcome to my website. Here you'll learn all about me: my interests and hobbies, the people in my family, my pets, and more. I've even included a list of my favorite links to other sites.

     I am a preacher, teacher, and professional pool player (currently 40th in the world in artistic pool). To the right is a picture of me in one of my favorite (and most meaningful) activities, preaching, and holding the book that I seek to understand and let guide my life, the Bible.
 
     I want to make special mention of COLUMBIA ACADEMY, a Christian school in Maury County, Tennessee, that is supported by churches of Christ.  I feel this is a good school and doing much to advance the cause of Christ and true Christian education.  I hope that you will consider supporting this school both financially and in prayer: 
"Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." (Heb. 13.15-16) 
 

"Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." (1 Tim. 6.17-19) 

     If you would like to discuss with me further my reasons for supporting this school please feel free to contact me using the form below.

What's New?
February (I think), 2008
I have some new things happening in my life.  Recently I took up the game of pool after more than a decade's absence from the game.  I set a goal in October of 2006 to reach the professional level within 3 years.  As a result of a lot of hard work, thoughtful goal setting, planning, and expense I will participate in my first professional tournament (Lord willing) in March of this year (2008) in artistic pool (trick shots).  Look for updates as to my progress and/or success on this website.

Well, it's over and the stats are in!  I finished 14th overall in the what is considered the 2nd most prestigious tournament in artistic pool, the Master's Championship.  The winner only had 7 more points than I (162/169).  I missed the cutoff for the finals by only 3 points (12 playoff spots--the 12th spot was earned with a 165 so you see how close I came!).  I really wanted to win my first professional tournament and was told "That would be unheard of" by my friend Eric Yow (notice he didn't say "impossible").  I guess it remains unheard of.  Perhaps someone else will accomplish that some day.

So, since I didn't make the top 12 for the playoffs I didn't have a chance to play for the win, but I came pretty close.  I'm pleased about that.  I'm already preparing for the World Championships with will occur before this year is out (maybe November or December).  In the mean time, I'll be helping my friend Eric Yow prepare for his first ever ESPN Trick Shot Magic competition in October. 
Thanks to everyone who encouraged me (especially my dad who drove several hours to support me--I had my best day that day--and to Teresa for tolerating my neglect of her while I practiced day and night!).
Be sure to check out the APTSA and Trick Shot Productions links on the "pool" link on this site for stats and info. as well as TheMessenger99 and WireNut1978 sites on YouTube for clips from the event!

Well, the points are tabulated and the rankings listed!  I'm officially ranked 40th in artistic pool.  Not bad after my FIRST tournament (Col. 3.17).
