Bills! Plans! 12 Stone! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:38 pm  

Didn’t sleep well last night. I went to sleep early, but my mind was zooming with ideas about outreach and plans for fund raising. All good. My creativity overwhelms me sometimes.

This morning I took care of paying bills. Also sent of a dvd to our team from last weekend.

Got our insurance cards and registration for the PT Cruiser.

Put some plans together for outreach with my church at Westside. I have a meeting with Pastor Ben on Thursday to discuss some of my ideas.

Met up with my friends from 12 Stone Church, Steven Perry and his interns Nathan and Michael at FBC Doraville.

Ashley and I took them to Plaza Fiesta for lunch and to talk about plans involving his middle schoolers. 12 Stone is one of the largest churches in Atlanta. They have 9 campuses around the Metroplex. He has 350 kids in his group. Of course we told him we can handle that many. That’s because we can.

Discussed my plans for fund raising with Ashley. I’ll write up some stuff and give it to her to think about the graphics for the mail out. It will revolve around helping pay for the insurance that Whirlwind Missions has. Just the insurance for our ministry costs nearly $40,000 a year! I’m planning on calling it “Keep our Missionaries safe!” Basing it on the fact that most people have money coming in from the tax refund. I’m titling it reFUND Missions! I have some art from China that is from New Year that is called “Safety” in Chinese. I think it will tie together well.

One thing I’ve learned in my 20 years of doing this, you don’t get if you don’t ask.

We are completely booked with teams the rest of the month and most of April. PTL for that. Lots of evangelism and that will help our finances too.

Talked with Comcast guys at Walmart about getting cable internet installed at Azalea. We are cancelling ATT DSl. Costs too much and it sucks. We’ll save $20/month and hopefully get a LOT better service. Can’t beat that!

Curtis, who is the Comcast representative, goes to church at Northpoint. We talked to him about bringing a team. We’re always talking about the ministry! While we were talking, a lady who had been on mission with us from One Heart Church stopped, introduced herself and raved about what a great time she had had with us. Yeah, baby!

Enjoyed working with the kids at the mission.

Always fun. Sometimes quite challenging, especially when I’m working with a child that just can barely spell. Takes massive patience, for sure.

Set up a time to sign our new refinancing loan for Thursday night at 7:45pm. It’ll drop our current interest rate from 8% to 4%. Sounds like a plan.

Tomorrow morning I’ll be going to the doctor. I have to have my urine tested again. Last month for my physical they detected trace amounts of blood in my urine. My doctor thinks that’s probably due to my back injury. Pray that everything goes well with that.

Just watched “the Family” with K. I thought it was a good movie. I love DeNiro in just about everything. Had Tommy Lee Jones too. I can dig that.

Admin duties now. Tired but wired after the movie. K and I will watch something less intense and then we’ll crash.

I have to be at the doctor’s by 9:45am.
