Georgetown, TEXAS!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:56 pm  

Saturday, Ashley and I did the briefing for our team from Fellowship Bible Church in Nashville, TN.

After the briefings, we took them to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

They ate a quick lunch and we got them on site to their three locations and showed them where their second sites would be.

As soon as they were on site, I jumped on the train to go to the airport to catch my flight to Austin, Texas.

I was the preacher for Main Street Baptist Church in Georgetown, Texas. The building and many of the people were from the original First Baptist Church in Georgetown that my dad, Al Cummins, pastored for over a decade during the 70s.

It was the church where I was called into ministry and preached my first sermon more than FORTY years ago.

It was really cool to be in that sanctuary after all those years. It was a special time indeed. I also preached in the new sanctuary for the contemporary service.

As you might imagine, I was extremely wound up!

I stayed a couple of extra days to visit with sponsors from the Worship Place church as well as see friends in the area.

My Dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes so I also helped my folks deal with that. Sometimes just being there is enough I reckon.

Enjoyed visiting with my brother Jim and his family.

Jim’s daughters and grand daughters are some of my favorites!

I met a new friend named Mark Moss.
m
He used to be the Chief of the fire department in Georgetown. He is also an avid collector of old radios and recording equipment. I found him super interesting and his stuff was incredibly cool.

I met Mark while visiting the antique tractors next door with my friend Jon Morse. Jon’s dad is David Morse who was like a brother to me in Georgetown while I was in High School.

I love visiting Georgetown. Always something fun to see. While I was downtown, I happened to catch up with a tour of the historic district. I love architecture. It was super cool to learn more about the city I love. Did you know that Georgetown, Texas is noted as having the finest Victorian commercial district in America? I didn’t.

I got back into Atlanta Wednesday evening around midnight. I’ve started parking my car at FBC Doraville and using the MARTA train rather than driving to the airport. Saves money and only takes me a couple of hours longer.

Beautiful Texas sunsets!

I took this picture of the moon through my Nikon binoculars.
