Shell Key

July 10, 2015 +2 Leave a comment

Shell Key Preserve. A beautiful place, located just off the coast of St. Petersburg, Florida. Enjoyed a morning with my family walking along this island earlier this year. Here’s one of the photos from that day.

If you like picking up shells, this is a great spot for it. Sand dollars are plentiful there, as are numerous other treasures from the sea.

Take your boat out there, or catch a ride on the ferry. It’s a short trip from the mainland and it’s a nice getaway spot. Very relaxing out there.

Interested in checking it out for yourself? For more information on this beautiful place, click here or here.

Help the Irizarry Family

July 29, 2014 +2 2 Comments

I wanted to bring this to your attention today. Tragedy struck one family this past weekend, and you may have heard the story.

A small plane crashed on the beach in Venice, Florida Sunday. The crash killed Ommy Irizarry and a day later, his daughter Oceana passed away as a result of her injuries.

The family, as you might imagine, is heartbroken.

This website http://www.gofundme.com/c9pbfc has been set up to help the family during this most difficult time. Should you feel led to, please donate if you can. Even just sharing the link would be helpful, and if you’re able to pray for their family that would be great.

Thanks so much everyone!

(Ommy Irizarry’s widow, Rebecca, is a cousin of a friend of mine. I learned of this story through Facebook and just wanted to share it here. Thank you for reading it and for your prayers for this family.)
