Podcast! Doug! Bones! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:20 pm  

Had fun this morning recording a new podcast!
p
Want more happiness out of your life? SERVE OTHERS! The more you focus on other people the happier you become. That’s why it’s better to be a YOUman! Click on the title and get to feeling good, NOW!
t
Met up for lunch with Doug Allison, Ashley and Jesse!
d
We went to Plaza Fiesta for lunch and to show Doug around.
j
Also picked up the holster for my iPhone. I got it modified to fit the longer iPhone 5.

Went to the mission to drop off some computers that Doug had brought for us. GREAT!
c
Ashley and I went by FedX to do some copies for the mission. She’s redecorating the computer room. Lookin’ good!
c
Also picked up some super glue for some projects I’m working on.
s
We also got flu shots. Ouch! Actually, they didn’t hurt bad at all.

I bought a skeleton when I was at Walgreens. I put in the back seat of my car. Funny!
s

Then to work with the kids. Always fun.
a

Gave some of the girls some popcycles!
p
m
t

Came home and ran 2.75 miles in the dark. Needed the exercise to burn off stress.

Enjoying spending time with K this evening.

Ashley and I will be speaking to Carl Barrington’s Bible class at Providence Christian Academy in the morning. Looking forward to that!

Website! Ben! Kurta! Run! Azalea!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:01 pm  

Over the last week or so I’ve been working on my new website: www.VerbalSurgery.com. I’ve been fascinated by how the mind can heal the body. Many times that happens through the power of prayer. Others by the power of our minds to focus our attention and harness our ability to visualize. I’ve enjoyed studying neurology, hypnosis, meditation and brain science for over thirty years. This new website illustrates that part of me as well as being home to my proverbs and my podcast Verbal Surgery.

Had an early lunch with one of my favorite youth directors, Ben Birdsong from FBC Pelham!
b
We had fun eating at Ashiana and seeing my Hindu priest friend, Tek. It’s always great to have the whole family together!
j

I also got a new Kurta, a formal Indian attire for a wedding.
k
I’m looking forward to the big festival with my friend Amit Badiani in England in less than a month. He’s like a brother to me!

Came home to exercise. Had a 5 mile run today.

Cleaned up, then on to Azalea to help the kids with their homework. Our biggest group, the 5th graders, were testing so they didn’t have much homework.
j
j
Went to Plaza Fiesta to get my friend to rework my holster for my new iPhone 5 which is longer than my iPhone 4s. He seemed confident he could do it!

Also went shopping for fruits and vegetables while I was there. My diet has been pretty successful. So far I’ve lost about 14 pounds.

Jesse has been staying with us on the weekends. It’s always nice when he’s here! And I enjoy having Kathy all to myself when he’s not. So I reckon it’s a win-win!

We enjoyed watching Castle and Dancing with the Stars. I can’t believe I said that.

I have an app on my iPhone called RunKeeper. It tracks your route, how many calories your burn, the time you run and exactly how far you run. Free! Lot of fun to know the correct distance!

I was pretty tired when I got home!

Enjoyed a rest, then ate and watched some TV with K and J. Also enjoyed playing some video games with Jesse. Fun!

Rest and admin duties now.

Looking forward to the 5 Outreach Events we’re hosting tomorrow!

I feel the same way!

Workout! Computer! David Byrne!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:52 pm  

Had a great day Wednesday!

Worked out like crazy! Biked about 7 miles and ran 4 miles. Felt great!

Then went into town to help Ashley get a new computer. Her old Mac finally gave up the ghost. Sad that she lost some information she needed. Most was backed up.
a
Always enjoy hanging out with my kids!
k

Then I went to go see David Byrne and St. Vincent play a show last night. Sounded great. It was awesome to get to see Byrne play again.

My right brake light was out. My sweet wife got it fixed for me early this morning. AWESOME!

p
10,000 Angels has something for everyone! Guns! Explosions! Miracles! Just click on the title.

Jesse and I went over to the club to work out. He ran nearly 4 miles and I did a little over 6 miles. Seeing that he’s not a runner, I was impressed! Afterwards we swam in the pool to cool down and then sat in the hot tub to warm up! Enjoyed a salad at their Starbucks.

After a short rest, we went to the mission to help the kids with their homework.
j

Poured down rain! We need it.

Silly children.

Got a call from my bank about some possible fraudulent debit card activity. Sure enough, this afternoon someone used my number to make a transaction in Mexico and in Paris. Weird, since the my card never left my billfold. So I have to get a new one tomorrow. Glad the computers can catch weird stuff.

Admin duties now.

TV with K!
