Got 1″ of rain last night. Powerful storms in our area. Lots of branches on the ground.

Had a fun final day with my teams for this week!

This morning we visited the Refugee Sewing Society led by my friend Cathy Palmer. She’s doing a great job working with the ladies!

I had fun also showing my niece around the Clarkston area.

I bought a few things to show people about the religion of Islam. Here’s how children learn to read the Arabic letters. I thought this one was appropriate for the weekend.


This compass shows where to face to pray towards Mecca.

Under the category: Stuff I’ve never seen before: Camel meat!

Had a fun lunch with dear missionary friends of ours from Kenya, Tom and Nancy Jones.

Then over to the missions to check on our groups from FBC Cabot, AR and FBC Prattville, AL.

They’re doing a fabulous job!

I’ll miss their enthusiasm!

My Dad said that his feet were bothering him so I took him in for a foot massage on Buford Highway.

He said he liked it. I’m glad!

I’m also working on getting his watched repaired. I bought it for him for his retirement.

Came home to a surprise at the house! My wife Kathy asked me if I wanted the house decorated for Father’s day. I said, “Sure!” She asked if I wanted ribbons or balloons. I jokingly said, “No, just big pictures of me that you can walk by and blow kisses to.”

She remembered that comment! Ashley made a bunch of pictures of me and hung them around the house. LOL! What sweeties!

Went over to where my folks are staying this evening and watched some of the King’s Speech before we came home to work on admin duties.

Good day!

I’ve had three great teams in town this week!

This morning I took the teams from Arkansas and Alabama over to the Global Mall. It’s the largest S. Asian mall in America!


We got to witness an Hindu service and talk with the priests there.

I always find that interesting.

Then over to Al Madina to see what the markets in N. Africa look like!

We had a fun lunch together with my folks and niece with Ashley and Jesse!

J took the family home while Ashley and I shot pictures and video of the three teams. We pretty much got that job completed.

Had a short night last night. . . went to sleep after 2am and got up early. Jesse was helping me with some details on the web site. We also worked on the Team Assignments. Major teams coming in soon demand a LOT of attention to detail!

Had our team from Prattville, Alabama do a terrific block party for the kids at Highland Garden this evening. That complex will be torn down soon to make room for an expansion of Chamblee High School. Sad.

Ashley and I also checked out Engimas, one of the most bizarre stores in the International Village!


This evening Ashley and I went to meet a friend of mine: Jon Stetson. He’s a really nice guy. Glad to see him in the ATL!

Trying to knock out my admin duties before going to sleep. I’ll be picking up my folks tomorrow to see work in the Clarkston area.
