Rain. Rain. Rain.

It’s a beautiful thing!  Georgia has been SO dry, it’s good that are lakes can take a big drink!

But I’m a sunshine boy.  Too much of this dreary weather makes me sad.  SO, I take on a big project, buckle up and WORK!

It’s quite an involved project.  Record the video (the fun part–as my wife would say, “I live to hear myself talk!”), download it to my hard drive, edit and add the graphics, compress into a MPEG4 format and upload to YouTube.  Then I embed the videos into my Facebook page (been there?  I want YOU to be my friend!), blog and website.  Groovy!

This series of videos from my 50 years on the planet, “Story Tim” has been a labor of love.  So far I’ve edited and uploaded eleven new videos.

If all goes well, I’ll have the other six that I recorded yesterday also on line.

They’re all in my YouTube gallery, but I think the best place to find them is on our website:  http://whirlwindmissions.org/story_tim.php.  I’ve also put the stories from my parents Al & Peggy Cummins on that page.  Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll post the new ones right here!

I did a series of three stories on “The Worst Toilets I Have Known.”  The first one is from my ride on an Indian mail train from New Delhi to Kathmandu.  It’s not for the weak of stomach!

I’ve been studying the “StrengthsFinder 2.0” book by Tom Rath.  Interesting book.  I think I’ll get some useful ideas from it.  My five strengths according to the test I took are:  Learner, Achiever, Positivity, Individualization & Arranger. Most people are so focused on everyone’s WEAKNESSES that they forget they should really be looking to help people develop their strengths.  That’s that “positivity” thing coming out.

Heard from Ian.  He made it to Chicago safely.  PTL!  Thanks for praying for that!

My birds like to watch me edit!
