I will never forget the day, I had daydreamed about it for what seemed my whole life and here it was, the day that would change my life forever more. I didn't know it was going to happen this particular day but as the events started to unfold, I could tell this was going to … Continue reading Summer of ’82 – Never forget your first!

Summer of 82′ – Beginning
Summer was just around the corner, a couple more weeks of school and then I could begin what would arguably be the best summer of life. Of course, I had no idea what would transpire over the next three months, but looking back, I would not trade a single moment of it! A lot of … Continue reading Summer of 82′ – Beginning
Summer of 82′
I both hate and love these types of moments. Here we are bottom of the 7th, two outs and runners on second and third. Maybe they'll walk me? If I was them, I wouldn't walk me but rather go right at me; fastball inside followed by a slider down and away. Then back with the … Continue reading Summer of 82′
The Spiritual Side
I mentioned a couple of days ago that I've recommitted myself to take care of both, my physical and spiritual health. And yesterday I posted an update in regards to the physical side of things and today I thought I would share a little about the spiritual component of my life. Let's be clear. Out … Continue reading The Spiritual Side
A failure and Recommitment
So, for those of you who have followed me for some time know that since April of 2018, I have committed myself to working out consistently, eating better (most of the time) and training to compete in various sports such as Triathlons and Cycling. I started training for triathlons about this time last year although … Continue reading A failure and Recommitment
Time Out
I don't remember now if it was November or December but in one of those months I decided to take on a new challenge and enter the world of triathlons. It's not necessarily the cheapest sport to take up but over time I've acquired the necessary items to participate. I've been cycling for several years … Continue reading Time Out
Paul – a speech
As I begin to look into the life of Paul, I'm struck by how much suffering Paul had to endure in proclaiming the gospel of Christ. I'll cover more of that as we go but for today I want to cover the speech that many consider his most important or famous, which is found in … Continue reading Paul – a speech
#Chasing25 – the physical side
Since I was 5 years old I have been involved in sports of some kind. Over the years I have played baseball, basketball, football, golf, tennis, swimming, bowling, and the last five years, cycling. I've never been great in any particular sport but I can hold my own in any of them. Obviously, as the … Continue reading #Chasing25 – the physical side
#Chasing 25 – getting started
I don't know the exact date but sometime in mid-November I found myself starting to step on a scale and in my mind, I was expecting the read out to be 218 or maybe 220. Nurse looks up and says "235, that's the heaviest we've ever weighed you at". I was in slight shock thinking … Continue reading #Chasing 25 – getting started
#Chasing25
The picture above was taken, I believe in 2012, while I was on a mission trip in Haiti. It was after seeing this picture when I returned home that I knew I had to make a change in my diet and lifestyle. Although I have always been active it was obvious by this pic that … Continue reading #Chasing25
