Snow and WOM FBC Roswell!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:49 pm  

This weather is such a trip!
w
Yesterday it was nearly 60. Today, snow!
s

It’s beautiful, but I sure am glad I live in the South where we don’t have to deal with it all the time!
f
Jesse and I drove through heavy snow from Stone Mountain up to Roswell, just north of Atlanta.

We met up with the Women On Mission group at First Baptist Church of Roswell.
f
They were a terrific group of ladies. I really wasn’t sure if anyone would come because of the weather conditions but everything turned out great.

I had about an hour to speak so I was able to give a longer presentation. As my wife would say, “I live to hear myself talk,” so filling an hour isn’t a problem.

After the presentation, we shot over to Huntington Ridge to see the new owners. Sad, but the complex went into foreclosure today. The owners weren’t around. I’ll go over and check with them again next week.

Then we went to Fry’s electronics. Jesse is rebuilding the computer that Ruthie North has. We’re adding more RAM and swapping out the hard drive. Sure am glad I have Jesse to figure all that stuff out. I’m a tech kinda guy, but I’m sure no Jesse.

We took a quick stop at a fish/bird store near by. Beauties!

Can you believe they have birds like these flying around in the trees in Costa Rica? Awesome!

We came on home early today. Roads were supposed to start freezing up.

I saw this sign at Fry’s in their bathroom. Read it carefully. They’ll be a test later.

Twitter anniversary, Willow Branch

Tim A. Cummins @ 12:55 am  

Exactly a year ago today Kathy, Jesse and I were on Tybee Island, GA. I’d heard about this Twitter stuff and decided to try it out as an experiment in Web 2.0.

This evening, I have 66,536 followers. Sounds like a lot, eh? I’m in the top 2,000 Twitter users out of about 4.5 million. I have fun being creative and coming up with 8 new proverbs a day. I actually write about 50 at a time and use a web app that posts them for me at regular intervals.

I started keeping a regular blog in 2004. I’m so glad that YOU are reading this!

This morning I fed my birds and checked on the little water fountain I have in my back yard.

The plastic connector that the hose fits on broke off. Bahd luck. Had to go to Home Depot to pick up another one.

I enjoyed looking at the flowers while we were there.

J and I went to Clarkston to help the kids at Willow Branch learn guitar. I’m teaching Aziz how to read music. It’s a hard job and takes a LOT of patience. Jesse is teaching three girls how to play. Cool.

This morning I got up about 5am to work on a project for FBC Mountain Park. I got a word from the Lord about helping them with a scripture memory program that Richard King mentioned during the service yesterday. I had 1,000 business cards made with Romans 8:28 on it along with a prayer. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him who have been called according to his purpose.”

The Father told me that people are willing to memorize scripture, but they have to be reminded to do it. A little card on the mirror is all that it will take.

K and I enjoyed watching American Pickers, one of my new favorite shows. These two guys go around old barns and find cool stuff and meet really unusual people. Fun.

She rode over 12 miles today on her bike to Stone Mountain and back to our house. Woosh!

This is an old band uniform from Lakeside High School where K went to school.

I saw this big plane headed towards Dobbins AFB this afternoon.

Jesse and his friend Jason are headed up to New Hampshire in two weeks for the Liberty Forum. I enjoyed going up there with him in ’07.

Are you in the market for a good used cow?
