J Day!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:49 pm  

It’s always such fun to have my son with me!

Jesse had an appointment with his Doctor today.  Dr. Evans was very pleased with Jesse’s progress and told us to come back in three months! It’s been two months since his last visit.  Looks promising!  We still don’t know when/if J will have a trial yet.  Keep praying for his healing–it’s Working!

We went to shoot pictures of the two new missions at Highland North and Highland at Sutton Place.

There’s so much work to be done on Buford Highway.

We’ll be covering these two locations this Saturday with Impact Atlanta and First Baptist Church Atlanta.  We’ll host Outreach Events in 25 locations this weekend.

I bought Jesse an acoustic guitar today.  I get great deals on Alvarez guitars at Miller Music in Chamblee.  It’s black.  Looks like something Johnny Cash would play.

We went over to Azalea to help the kids with their home work.  Writing numbers in expanded form.  Know how to do that?  Uses powers of 10.

Also got to see Miguel.  He’s a known gang banger who is trying to change his ways.  He’s like a son to me.  He recently graduated from high school with his GED.  We gave him a gift card from Walmart to buy some new clothes. Doesn’t he look better?

He has to get rid of all his gang colors.  Cops still hassle him.  No surprise really.  Especially if he LOOKS like he’s in a gang.

Remember Uncle Harold who came to visit me last week?  We had such a great time with the Bengali family who lives above our mission at Azalea.  I told them I’d see if I could get them a computer.  This afternoon we took them one.

Bill Hickey helped set it up and gave them a lesson on it.

I was given some baby dolls last week that one of the dear ladies at FBC Doraville made for me. It was fun to see the girl’s faces when they received their gift!

Came home and ran 4 miles.

Pray for our new partners coming on board and that our missionaries will continue to work well together.  It’s a challenge when we all have such strong personalities!
