Books! Norths!

I had a fun ME day today!

Ate at Red Robin with my parents, Jesse and Katie!

We ate an amazing piece of pie!

Then over to Barnes and Noble to check out books!

I loved these brain pictures while I was there.

Took everyone home and had a nice nap. I’m glad God created naps!

Then worked on the video projects I’ve got going. I shot over three hours of video last week. So far I’ve edited the groups from Fellowship Bible Church, FBC Jonesboro, FBC Cabot and FBC Gardendale. Once edited, I have to compress then upload them to You Tube. Final part of the process involved burning a DVD for the church and mailing it off to them. Every step takes time! So I just have to be very consistent about chipping away at it!

This evening I forward a list of the latest 20 videos or so that I’ve shot of the teams recently on to Jesse. He’ll update the web page with them so it’s easy to find their video.

I’m proud of the great work my son does on the web site. I think it’s one big reason that Whirlwind Missions is a leader in apartment ministry world wide.

This evening the family went over to enjoy the AWESOME cooking of Ruthie North.

I sure do love Ian and Ruthie and am SO glad that they’re on our team here in Atlanta!

We enjoyed talking and watching their cat play with the laser pointer that Jesse had bought for them. Funny!

Brought the folks back to their house. Had some goodbyes with Jesse. He’s headed to New Hampshire with Ashley tomorrow for about two weeks. Boo Hoo for me too!

It’s been great to have my niece Katie here!

Came home to work on editing video and admin duties.

I helped J get his gear together for the camping trip he and Ashley are taking. They’re calling it the “Sibling Road Trip.” I know they’ll have an awesome time because they are both EXTRAordinary!

Looking forward to going to CIBC in the morning.

I put six pictures of myself today because tomorrow’s Father’s Day, and I’m a FATHER, baby! I just made a quick count. J has six too! Never too much Jesse!

Brethren!

Had a fun day today!

This morning Kathy and I went to Stone Mountain. We spent some time soaking in the hot tub and swimming in the pool. Groovy, baby!

We had lunch at Thai of Norcross. Always a good thing!

While there, I got a text from a good friend of mine wondering if I could show some pastors around the International Village. I’m always up for that!

I met up with the leadership team from Grace Brethren International at my office at First Baptist Doraville and took them on a thorough tour of our mission field!

Wayne, Steve and David were super cool!

They’re considering relocating their HQ to a major urban area. “Atlanta is the one!” I assured them.

Took them to CD Tower to see the Buddhist idols.

Over to the Chinese pharmacy.

Then to Carneceria #1 for some quesedillas and check out Guatemala.

The Buford Highway Farmers Market is always awesome.

Enigmas for the bizarre version of traditional folk medicine Catholicism.

Global Mall to see the Hindu temple.

Madina to visit N. Africa!

Then over to Clarkston to see Hallal Pizza–the center of the Muslim population in Georgia.

Finally to Azalea for the highlight of the evening: our families at the mission!

I really enjoy seeing the amazing variety of cultures that Atlanta has to offer. I pray that they’ll bring their folks to help win our city for Jesus!

Came back about 10pm. Had a fun evening talking with my folks at the mission house of FBC Mountain Park. Jesse and I got home a little after midnight.

Admin duties now!
Beautiful sunset!
