One of those days when I floored it and hung on for the ride!

Started out this morning in Clarkston where my team from Florida and Alabama are painting Clarkston International Bible Church.  Plans didn’t go 100% since the keys weren’t there to let them in.

While they were waiting to get in, one of my best partners, Terry Earl, showed up and asked them if they’d like to come with her to visit some families.  The girls were delighted to do that and had a fun morning seeing moms with little kids.

The church is coming along well, but we still need a lot of help to get it looking really good.

I had a lunch meeting with the property managers in Chamblee and Doraville.  We listened to Doraville’s Police Chief John King share his vision for law and order in the International Village.

It’s hard to find the line between the need merchants have for labor and the letter of the law against illegal immigration.

Basically came down to “We’re going to deport every criminal we find.”  Fair enough.

I took the last of the food from the meeting over to Azalea Place for the kids to chow down on.  I brought back a big portion of fried rice and sesame chicken.

My team from FBC Bonifay is doing great!  They made these sled things they were pulling kids around on.  Looked like a lot of fun.

Of course the snow cones are a HUGE crowd favorite.

The afternoon I spent my time shooting video and pictures of the teams and loving on the people.

Jesse and I went to eat Mexican food this evening. On the way over there I saw this incredible sunset.

This evening is the Planter’s Moon. It’s supposed to look especially big this evening.

Fun day!

I stayed up late last night finishing the editing of the video for Holly Springs Baptist Church from SC.  They did a terrific job at Highland Gardens, Azalea Place, Westwood (Villa Nueva) and Huntington Ridge.  Take a look!

I worked with my team from Bonifay today!  They’re doing a great job with the kids in the six complexes.

I shot a lot of video with them.  I’ll get the rest of my shots later this week.

This afternoon I also edited the video I shot for my team from Holly Springs Baptist Church.  Burned the dvds for them and will upload  the video to YouTube later this evening.

Ran 4 miles this afternoon.  It was still about 95 degrees.  I ran in the shade.  It wasn’t too bad.

Ashley and I went to Total Grace church this evening to make a missions presentation to the leadership team of their youth group.  They were very responsive to what we had to say.  I pray that they will get involved and that they’ll have a great influence on the community!

Today is the Download Firefox 3 day.  We’re trying to set a Guinness book of world record on the amount of downloads in one day.  I’m a big fan of Firefox.  It’s very secure.  It’s open source software so there are LOTS of people making sure that the bad guys can’t mess with it.

I also installed the new plug in “Piclens” for Firefox.  It’s super cool!  Give a 3d wall of pictures or videos to choose from. Try it.

Love you guys!
