Another Spectacular Beach Wedding on St Pete Beach, FL

I was blessed to be part of yet another spectacular beach wedding earlier today, taking place at sunset right on the Gulf of Mexico. Majestic weather  made for more than a godly get together, the sun setting over the water painted a perfect backdrop for this beach wedding…

St Pete Beach ranks among my favorite spots, for its location and serene setting, both important elements of each public beach wedding. Don’t hesitate to call on yours truly for unique photo-journalistic coverage that’s glorifying to God almighty!

Glorious Mission Monday on Sunset Beach, FL

Elizabeth, Grace, Trinity, Faith and I were blessed earlier today with an outing we will not soon forget, when the Lord provided perfect weather and a mission field beyond our own deserving: Sunset Beach!

We’d been to Sunset many times before, and already ranked this secluded beach at the top of our list for more reasons than we can count. But today, as if perfect weather and a smooth drive wasn’t enough, God delivered one new ingredient to an already divine recipe: a Playground for the kids!

That’s right folks! Swings, slides & climby thingies.

I didn’t get shots of the play area since we discovered it on our way out adjacent the old parking lot we’d been using for years. it turns out the city of Treasure Island recently built a playground & covered pavilion. Praise Jesus! Our favorite beach is now, well, even better!

All I can say is thank you Lord. Here are a few shots from today, enjoy!!!

Glorious Day at Indian Rocks’ Heritage Village…

The Lord blessed Elizabeth, the girls and I again today with a glorious outing to one of our favorite spots, Heritage Village located adjacent the Florida botanical Gardens.

It has been far too long since we visited the turn of the century village, so today as part of our ministry, we ventured out to Indian Rocks where we enjoyed an ice cold soda, fellowship & worship… Enjoy the shots below, we had a blast putting this pictorial together for you to share in the moment.

The 12 Hours of Sebring – 60 Year Anniversary

I just got back from one of the darkest, most evil places I ever been as a saved man: The 12 Hours of Sebring!

If you know anything about me, then you’re aware of my love affair with auto racing. I don’t care much for boats, or bikes, or other types of racing as much as I do NASCAR. Every single racing event I attend starts out with a prayer, to God, in reverence and worship of Jesus, the Christ.

Today, I rolled the dice on a new mission field, the American Le Mans Series which I assumed would host a similar crown to the Daytona 300 or 500 races, right? I could not have been more off. I quickly realized Sebring Raceway was not the ideal place to preach, pass out bibles or Christian tracts…

I praise God my daughters and wife were not present at the track, where pure evil reigned over purity. God spoke to me while at the track, and He revealed a plan by which His voice will be heard next year, and His word will continue to resonate loudly thereafter, for His glory.

Tune-in again from time to time to find out more about this divinely appointed endeavor.

P.S. I did manage to snap a few PG photos, enjoy! ;)

Not Quite the Daytona 500 but Still a Superb Day!

We just got back from a most splendid road trip to Daytona Beach, the polar opposite of our home beach in St Petersburg, which rests on the peaceful Gulf of Mexico, clear across the sunshine state from our destination.

Today, we were first headed to Daytona International Speedway, where the good old boys (and gals) were having a duel… NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series qualifying type duels that is. We made certain to use the old mini-van as a billboard, for God’s glory! More people lifted up praises to the Lord with their horns than we could count! The girls loves it… :)

After we had our fill of roaring engines, high octane fuel and burning rubber, we drove on passed A1A, straight to the Atlantic ocean where we turned left and cruised for honks for a while. what a complete turn around than 20 years ago when I was spreading profanity rather than praise…

Enjoy the shots! We sure give praise to God for the road trip, and memories to last a lifetime and beyond…
