Throwback Friday – My Own Shadow!

This week’s throwback takes us back to May 2003 when Diggitty Dank and I officially moved to Florida from Montreal. The place? Clearwater Beach Pier 60. The setting? After a long day of beach volleyball, Trontin and I are walking along the beach and pier and I feel inspired by my own shadow…

Here I am, 7 years later, married with children.

Married to a gorgeous, godly wife whose courage and strength continues to amaze me every day. I am also blessed with 3 daughters, Grace, Trinity and Faith.

Though I no longer cast such a shapely shadow, I cast one of much greater magnitude. Walking in the shadow of my Lord Jesus Christ, I am today a much bigger man than I ever was, yet seemingly so far from the finish line. I am humbled by the journey I am on and by the pace I am blessed to enjoy.

Earlier this week I stepped on the doctor’s scale which flirted with 160 for the first time since this picture was taken on Clearwater Beach. Can you believe in about 5 months I’ve lost almost 40 pounds?

On the eve of a holiday weekend I praise God cooler temperatures will allow for the long awaited beach vball comeback, and overall more time spent on the world’s most beautiful beaches.

Have a great weekend! God bless America!
