Paint! DVDs! Board! Ashley!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:08 pm  

Yesterday, I realized that the bottom of the trashcan where I keep birdseed had begun to rust. Cleaned it out and let it dry over night. This morning I sprayed it with white spray paint. I put it in another spot where it won’t have that problem.
t
Enjoyed lunch with Kathy and Ashley.
a

Ash and I worked on the papers for the Board meeting on Monday.
a
We also have a team in town from Texas. It’ll be a busy week. I think we pretty much have everything together. There’s still some financial numbers that she’s crunching.
s
We are planning on sending out more promotional dvds to prospective youth directors. So I’ve been burning more dvds.
d
Only takes about five minutes to burn one, but I’m always working on something so I have to stop to go over the computer to put another disk in. Definitely takes time.

Went to Azalea to work with the kids. Great group!

j
Admin duties now. Still burning dvds.

I liked this grill.

Ashley! Zamoras! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:18 pm  

Had a fun day with Ashley! It’s her birthday! 25!! We put on her new license plate.
l
a
She came over to my house and we ate lunch with our friends the Zamoras from Venezuela.
z
They’ve been doing great missionary work at Huntington Ridge for over 5 years now. The complex is getting a new owner and they’re also having a tough time raising the funds they need. Hard decisions have to be made.

It was great seeing them.

I burned more DVDs for the promotion project we’re doing for the Summer teams.

Ashley and I talked a lot about the information we need to put down for our Board meeting on Monday evening.

Cleaned out the fish tank.

Helped the kids at the mission. Always fun.

Some of my Bengali girls may need to rethink the whole flip-flop thing in freezing temps.

Writing! Recording! Missioning!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:26 pm  

Had fun doing some creative writing.
s
They are my short, pithy sayings I post on Twitter. I write for about thirty minutes then post a couple of weeks worth into a program that doles them out five times a day. Over 6,000! You can find them on Twitter @timacummins I have over 80,000 followers on Twitter.

Recorded a new podcast!
t

I thought this one was interesting. I call it “Dogs in Costumes.” Click on the title and groove!
p

Picked up my car today.
c

It had a bent cam shaft as well as two valves that were out of alignment. With over 225, 000 miles it comes with the territory. Nearly $1,000.
a

Filled up with gas. Glad the prices keep going down.
g

Helped the kids at the mission. Not too much homework today.

A new fad of wearing mismatched shoes.

CIBC! Run!

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:06 pm  

Kathy and I had a good time at Clarkston International Bible Church this morning. Jacob, our youth director, spoke. He did a good job. Pastor Phil led us in prayer for the Philippines. About half of our church is made up of Filipinos.

I liked this tree.

A&M! J! K!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:03 pm  

I enjoyed having lunch with Ashley and Miles today! We ate at Mo’s.

On the way over there I saw this really interesting cloud formation. As if it was being blown away from the center.
c

Jesse is not feeling well. Picked up his prescription and a couple of Subs to see him through.
d
Drove over to the mission at Azalea to give it to him.

Also did the family grocery shopping.

Podcast! Jesse! Thor!

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:45 pm  

Had fun recording a new podcast this morning.
t
t

I’m a fan of competition, but it’s not nearly as powerful as cooperation. The whole idea of being number one can be very destructive.

d

Check out #1!

I enjoyed lunch at Red Robin with Jesse.
j

After lunch, we went for an early showing of Thor–The Dark World.
d

It was better than I was expecting. Really enjoyed it.

Home now for admin duties.

Greek to me! Closest I can figure out is Do Not Run for the first section.

Gross.

Family! Run!

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:03 pm  

Had a fun lunch with my family today! Always great to spend time with them.

The Expedition had a charger light on, turned out to the alternator. Cost about $450. PLUS I had the Chrysler being worked on today getting a valve job done—that’ll be another nearly $1,000. Yow!

So Kathy and I for most of the day were down to using bikes! Good job we’re fit.

We had planned on going out of town for the weekend, but with all these expenses we had to cancel. Boo hoo.

After lunch, I got my running clothes on and ran a big loop. Ran 7.11 miles. That’s a long way for me.
t

Felt pretty good, but the cold air wasn’t that great on my legs. Sure was beautiful!
