Nearly 2 1/2″ of rain while I was gone!

Got up early and started plowing through all my work on Thursday.

Fortunately, I was able to keep up with the email duties while I was in London.

Still have forms to fill out for funding for some of my partnering churches.

Enjoyed going to Azalea with Jesse. That’s always fun.

Helped Nishi with her adding.

Great to see the kids again!

Had fun spending extra time with Jesse today. He helped me wok on my computer. We ate at Red Robin then hung out at the book store.

Back to admin duties now.

What the heck is that for? Bald fatties?

I thought this bumper sticker was funny!

I hear we’re expecting a Super Moon tomorrow! Always looks pretty super to me!

Had an awesome time in London!

Here are some of the highlights!
The Natural History museum is incredible!

I love dinosaurs! It was great to see real fossils from some of my favorites, like this one!

I happened to be eating in a small cafe that was making a movie. I’m in it!

Not sure if you saw the DaVinci Code. I enjoyed walking through the Temple Church, home of the Knights Templar.

You don’t see statues like this in many churches!

The stained glass was amazing!

What’s London without Big Ben?

Did you know that “Ben” is actually the bell?

I enjoy modern art. I like Andy Warhol in particular. This is from the Tate Modern.

Super cool to visit the reconstructed Globe Theatre.

Are you a Shakespeare fan? Who isn’t?

Visited the George Inn where Shakespeare and Chaucer and Ben Franklin used to visit.

I can’t get over the age of these buildings!

But if you want real age, check out this place!

Here’s me with the Rosetta Stone! Incredible things at the British Museum!

Gotta love the Easter Island heads!

Did you know I was born on Julius Caesar’s birthday? July 12, baby!

They have more mummies than you can shake a stick at.

The Elgin Marbles from the Parthanon!

Amazing!

I’m a HUGE Ben Franklin fan! (My Mom was born on his birthday! Wise woman!) He actually walked up and down these steps.

I was in awe.

Here’s his study.

It’s the only remaining residence of him in the world.

This is called Cleopatra’s needle. Cool obelisk.

I love Egyptian stuff!

I attended a worship service in Westminster Abbey.

I read my part of the responsive reading with super enthusiasm. I liked the idea of my voice echoing through that amazing cathedral.

I did a cool tour through London at night.

Visited where Jack the Ripper was. He was near London Bridge.

This statue was on top of the Marble Arch. I liked the way the sun lit it up.

Changing of the guard.

Super cool! I remember being there when I was a little Tim, back in 1964!

Buckingham Palace with fancy pants gates!

I told him I liked his hat.

He wasn’t impressed by my wit.

The Beefeater liked me better!

Parliament is another amazing structure!

Met some new friends at a conference I went to.

We’re interested in how language can be used to improve people’s lives! Words have power, baby!

I guess this sums it up!
