As Hoped For!

Well, I have been Sea Dreaming for the past few weeks for this evening and it has happened! The family and I cruised down to Vero Beach this weekend and as expected there is a little swell in the water. :) Tomorrow and Sunday look really fun! I'm hoping that it does what is saying it will do... Its rare, but sometimes swell charts are accurate. I hope to score a few more barrels this weekend. 

Check these out from this evening. I had about 20 min of light by the time I got to the beach, and thankfully everything came together for a fun little shoot sesh finished of with some really fun body surfing. Enjoy. 

Crazy how the sun sets on the other side of the earth.. but those colors! They are still so beautiful! 

Thanks for checking in.

Skatepark of Dana Point Efforts.

Recently my good friend Brandon Phillips started the campaign to have Dana Point look into the possibilities of a skatepark. His efforts are quickly growing, even now recognized by Founder and CEO of Etnies, Pierre Andres.

It's not always easy to get a skatepark approved by a city council... We are going to need every bit of help from YOU! Brandon has created a petition to sign, Petition. And has also created a Facebook page(SkatePark of Dana Point) and an Instagram to keep up to date with. 

Please help the cause and spread this word! Brandon is asking for 5,000 signatures on the petition, please share the link with friends. 

Again, here's those link to keep up with the pages..

Headed home...

Sorry I've been wrapped up in being busy here the last few days... I wanted to post but haven't been finding the time to get to it. 

I'm just a couple hours from taking my return flight home, and I must say I'm stoked. It's time to get back to my wife and Tatum. 

This trip has been a huge blessing! I'm so grateful to Potters Field Ministries for hosting me, letting me hang out, and showing me Antigua.  

I'll wrap this up with a few more images of the city...  

Women washing their clothes at the fountain. 

Quincy McCook, Donothan and I took a tuk-tuk. They are little three wheeled taxi cabs... Pretty fun ride! 

best kick stand ever. 

one last glance at this street... This place is cool. 

again, just so thankful to have had this chance to see Antigua, Guatemala. I'm going to keep the students and staff in prayer as well as the people of this country. Please do the same. :) 

thanks for checkin in,

Thursday walk.

Today was a walking day. Donothan wanted to show me around some more, so we went to the cross that over looks Antigua, from there we headed down into parts of the city where fewer tourist go, then heading off to walk through downtown again. Going through the high country above the city was pretty heavy... Homes up there are built with tin, they are tiny, they do have electric, but are really not much more than a shack. It was crazy to see. 

this home was being built still. I'm curious to know what the final outcome will be. 

Looking at the town over a corn field.  

City streets.  

This is the cross that over looks the city of Antigua, Guatemala. Beautiful view. 

A few block from the town square is this famous archway. Shortly after passing under the arch you will be at the Catholic Church.  

Donothan and I walked through this church... It's heavy. Mother Mary is idolized along with other patriarchs of the scriptures throughout the entire church.  

I'm just so thankful that Potters Field Ministries is here telling people about the true story of Jesus & the Bible. The church here has put a horrible oppression on the people forcing them to pay high prices for supposable "salvation". Keep the Potters Field  crew in prayer as they continue to reach out to these peoples spreading the Gospel, "We are saved by grace, not of works lest any man should boast". 

I'll miss these views. 

I'm looking forward to a couple more days here in Guatemala. I'm so thankful for this time here. 

Thanks for checking in!
