Ash and I raked leaves on Friday.

They were super heavy because they were still wet.

As my Daddy would say, “Ash worked like a Turk.”

We moved most of them to where I park my car.

I drive over them to compress them. Makes for good soil.

It flat wore me out. Even got a blister on my thumb. Boo hoo.

This afternoon K and I and Ashley went to the zoo!

Always fun to see the animals, although many were inside because of the cold weather.

I saw these Macaws in Costa Rica!

My girls were little birds!

They were having fun!

I think the naked mole rats were the most interesting, but I find them kind of gross so I didn’t take a picture.

K and I went to David and Beverly Clyde’s house this evening. They also invited David and Ruth Sullivan as well as friends of theirs from their small group Bible Study. Allen and Kathy “adopted” us as one of their missionaries. Good to meet them!

Back home now doing admin duties. My computer has started to run really slowly. It’ll be ok and then just suddenly sit there and I just wait and wait and wait. And you might know how good I am at waiting.

This speed limit sign just seems funny to me.

I can’t even jog here the speed’s so slow.

Have a Zoo Atlanta Christmas!

I think he needs a sticker that says Doesn’t Know When To Quit.

Over 2 1/2″ of rain yesterday. Excellent!

It was great to eat lunch with Kathy, Miles and Ashley today!

Ashley helped me at the mission. Never too much Ashley.

The girls there really love her.

Back home working on admin duties. Looking forward to a day off tomorrow.

This is what I try to be.

Interesting day today!

Had a terrific meeting with partners in the Marietta area.  Larry Chandler and Trey Sapp from Eastside Baptist Church met with our director of the mission Michael Anderson.

Really good folks!  My prayer is we’ll be able to mobilize a lot of people from their church.

I had a little time before going to the mission so I went over to Gallery 63 which is the home of the reality series “Auction Kings.”  I think that show is really interesting.


Paul Brown is the star of the show. He’s a cool guy.

It was fun getting to walk through the building.  Interestingly enough, I used to have a mission work there with my partner Felix Lora!  I thought the last time I was in that building there were Bible story pictures everywhere.

Now the steeple is in the back yard.

Also went by the office to check on the mail.

And to see Bayo at Huntington Terraces.

Then to Azalea to help the kids.  I was glad that Ms. Linda was there!

I liked this story by Barbara!

Quiz time!

You know that’s right!
