Had some rain yesterday. About 1/2″.

Kathy and I had a fun day in Clarkston today.

We went to Clarkston International Bible Church.

Great music and Kevin Riley did a good job too.

I like this stained glass at CIBC.

Finished up the DVD project! Glad to get that done!

Working on admin duties and resting!

I liked this bumper sticker.

I liked this frog!

Beautiful sun set last night!

Had a friend say how sad he was this week.

Decided to do a podcast on “How to be HAPPY!”

If you’re not sure you are, listen!

Had a fun time going through the Slotin Art Festival.

On the way in, I saw some fossils for sell. Groovy!


I really liked this little dinosaur!

And these incredible shells.

It’s the largest Folk Art exhibition in the country.

Enjoyed looking through the art.

I especially liked the robots.

And this combination of porcelain figurines.

My friend Andrei Palmer makes these cars. He even has as work in a gallery in NYC!

Tell me what you really think!

A whole lot of people like to park in the shade. Me, too!

Lot of rain on the way home. Flooding in some areas.

Back to admin duties. I’ve nearly finished the DVD project.

Been working most of the day on DVD production for our next newsletter mail out.

It’s quite an involved production.

You may remember a week ago I worked on editing, downloading and uploading the video that Ashley and I shot at FBC Jonesboro.

Now I’m burning dvds and making labels. I use Pinnacle Studio HD15 to edit video and Memorex Express It labeling software.

Have to print the labels.

Then you have to put the label on the DVD.

And finally pop them into a little envelope.

I think they look groovy!

I did all the photography on the project. That makes it special to me too.

It’s pretty cool how you can be your own publishing company!

Working on admin duties too.

Enjoyed lunch with J.

We got a smoothie for Ashley. Had some interesting stuff at Smoothie King.

It was only a matter of time . . . .

I liked J’s t-shirts all in a row.

I thought the grain on the wood was cool looking.

This morning I worked on my DVD production for our supporters. No fast way to do it!

Also produced the cover for the DVD. Looks groovy, baby!

This afternoon, Kathy, Ashley and I went to Azalea to work with the kids.

We also got some supplies for our partner Eduardo Zamora.

He had friends of his from Venezuela visiting his family.

Back home working on DVDs, covers and admin duties!

Had a fun day with my sweet chilluns today!

We ate at Genghis Grill. Groovy. And healthy!

Then over to Perimeter Church. They had some grills we could use. And a bunch of BALLS!

The kids sure loved them!

We helped a bunch of them with their homework.

Great to have help!

Came home and watched Mao’s Last Dancer with K. I really liked that movie!

Admin duties now.

I liked this leaf.

And this building.

Here’s the area in India where I’ll be going in October.

I thought this was funny.

Went to the Gwinnett County Health Department in Lawrenceville this morning.

The nurse gave me my Hepatitis B shot.

I had my last one five years ago. I’m supposed to have the third in the series in two months. Really didn’t hurt.

Also was given some oral Typhoid capsules. They’re a live virus so they have to be kept in the refrigerator.

Came home to pick up the rest of the family and went on over to the mission at Azalea.

Lots of homework. I’m glad all of us were there to help.

Jesse has been working with the kids outside playing sports. That’s great!

We enjoyed some Mexican food on the way home.

Went to Staples to pick up some supplies for the DVD project I’m doing for our supporters.

It’s a video of Ashley and I speaking at FBC Jonesboro. I thought it was pretty good. Hope they like it!

Admin duties now!

Are you smarter than a sixth grader?

Love these cirrus undulatus clouds. We get more like this as the weather gets colder.

This morning I set up my appointment to get my inoculations for my trip to India in October. Took time to research which place to go, whether to use a private organization, what appointments were available . . . . Bottom line, I’m supposed to be at the Gwinnett County Health Clinic tomorrow at 12:30. Sounds like a can do operation.

Enjoyed good family time for lunch.

Then off to the mission to check on the kids.

Sure have missed them.

Back at home working on admin duties. Always email to answer, events to plan, churches to contact.

Enjoyed watching High Fidelity this evening with K. Interesting, but not great movie.

What do you think about Jesse’s gigantic pinata suit?

Ah, the magic of photography!

Clinton looked pretty good in it too!

This little tree was growing inside of the church.

Ashley is so much help and absolutely wonderful with mission kids!

Jesse and Kathy are both so loved by the kids. The mission is a terrific place to hang out!

I enjoy spending time with Jesse! He’s interested in collecting gold and silver.

We went over to Marietta Hilton today to look at what they have.

I bought a few old coins from 1st century Rome! They don’t look too great but I bought 4 for $10 total! Can’t beat that!

I liked this license plate as we were walking into the hotel.

They had this Howitzer canon on display in the lobby. The hotel is on the site where the Georgia Military Academy once stood.

Beautiful view out the back door.

We enjoyed driving through Buckhead and looking at a bookstore over there.

Came on home to work on admin duties and rest! Looking forward to being with my mission kids tomorrow!

Yesterday I posted two new podcasts! Awesome, baby!

I picked out where I’ll be buried one day. Led me to using Grave Sight. Check out “Grave Sight” One of my best efforts yet!

And don’t play “Freeze Tag” with life! You’ll really like this one!

This morning Kathy, Ashley and I met up with my team from the Atlanta Community Ministries!

They worked at Sierra Creek, Southern Trace and Lake Placid apartments in Sandy Springs.

The families had a wonderful time with the volunteers!

Came back home to work on editing video.

Going to a coin show tomorrow with Jesse. Should be fun! Never too much Jesse!

After we got back from studying with the Rabbi, Kathy and I decided to go to the beach for a few days.

We love coastal Georgia!

It’s beautiful at Bonaventure Cemetery.

Not sure what this means. It was in the Jewish part of the cemetery.

And here is where I will be buried.


I cleared out an unused area, in the arms of the tree. Found a piece of uncut marble at the edge of the cemetery. A guy that cuts marble gave me the other piece. Neither have any writing on them. I sit there and think of my mortality and the urgency to embrace life!

And Historic Downtown Savannah.

This building used to be the home of WTOC-TV where I worked for five years!

St. John the Baptist is my favorite!

We ate at Paula Deen’s restaurant.

Of course the Island is beautiful. Unless there’s a hurricane!

St. Patrick!

Glad to be back home. We took Jesse out for El Torerros this evening.

Working on Admin duties. Went to Walmart to pick up some supplies for the three events I’m doing tomorrow.

I liked the way the vines entwined the bars.

Just a reminder. . . .
