Carpet!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:50 pm  

I spent this morning working on logistics.
i
I called the 16 managers where we’ll be serving next weekend and gave them the same message:  “HOWDY!  This is Tim!  I’ve got GREAT news!  Next Saturday, the 25th, we’ll have a team come to your complex to have an Easter party for your kids!  They’ll have a cook out, with lots of games and then have an Easter Egg hunt.  This Sunday, I’ll have someone come by your complex to put up a couple of posters.  The residents are going to LOVE this!  Let me know if there’s ever anything I can do to help! Bye!”  Or something similar to that.  I’ve done the same conversation probably a thousand times over the last nearly 14 years!  There have probably been at least 2,000 people that have come to Jesus because of these simple events!

This afternoon I had the carpet cleaning guys come to our house.  I thought Germaine did a good job.
c
Took my sweet ol’ Sugar dog out for a 4 mile run.  I had neighbors call out, “Who’s pulling who?”  “It’s pretty even,” I’d reply.  Actually, I was doing most of the pulling today.
s
Normally we have pretty much the same pace.  Slow.  I’m really not into racing, just get in the mileage!

The flowers and blooming trees continue to impress me.  Even the tiniest flowers have such beauty!

The goldfinches have enjoyed coming to my birdfeeders.  I fed them all winter long.  The difference is a month ago they looked drab brown.
g
Now, they’re POW yellow!  Awesome!

Just finished watching “Fly Boys” a movie about WWI flyers with Kathy.  It was based on a true story.  We enjoyed it!

Every day (for the most part) I have three things I do:

I upload the pictures I’ve taken.
p
I write my blog (you’re reading it!)

I check on my Facebook account.
fb
And submit a few one liners to Twitter.
t
People ask me, “How do you get all that done?” I tell them, “I sleep less.” True dat.

Fun day!

And now. . . you know you want it! Stoooory Tim! Where I share one of the most powerful events I ever covered: the soldiers arriving home from Desert Storm!
