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
Call me UpScott
I have actually known very few Scott's over the years and is one of the reasons I've always loved my name. For this trip however, I was serving alongside Scott Wilkins. During our trip over to Portugal, John was always having to clarify himself as to which of us Scott's he was talking to when … Continue reading Call me UpScott
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
#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

Abide in Me
I mentioned a couple a weeks ago that as I continue on this journey of #chasing25 that I would also be sharing snippets into my spiritual discoveries as well as chronicling my physical pursuits. I actually wasn't planning on sharing one this early but yesterday I heard a sermon that I haven't been able to … Continue reading Abide in Me
Being Public but Private
I've had several conversations over the last month or so where I have found myself giving a description of the type of person I am. In these cases I have described myself as being an introverted extroverted person. Huh? I know it doesn't sound right so here's a little more explanation of what I mean. … Continue reading Being Public but Private
#Chasing25
Hi there. I know its been a long time since I've posted anything. Today I am starting a new series of posts entitled #Chasing25. Chasing 25 is something I created a couple of months ago as a tongue in cheek tag line to describe the new fitness journey I had begun back in March of … Continue reading #Chasing25
A Story to Share
It's been six months since I have written anything. Some of that's due to writer's block which I get on occasion and some of it's because life simply happens to steal all of your time. Honestly though, the greater hindrance for me has been related to two themes. The first being that I have some … Continue reading A Story to Share
