Ashley and I enjoyed briefing our teams on Hinduism and Buddhism this morning.

We took them to Penang for lunch.


Ashley led the group while I went to Walmart to pick up supplies for closing the mission at Columns at Bentley Manor. I got plastic boxes to put the books in.

We also toured Asian Square.



The team from FBC Montevallo helped me clean and pack up the mission. THANK GOD for them! It’s always sad to close down work. We’d had a mission at Columns at Bentley Manor for years. Didn’t have any volunteers. I didn’t feel right about keeping an apartment when we weren’t doing anything there.

I ate a late lunch/supper with Ashley.

Then home for admin duties.

K and I watched Elementary and Suits together.

Ashley and I had fun briefing our teams from Birmingham this morning!

Took them on a tour of the Buford Highway Farmers Market!

Then to the missions!

Ashley and I took care of banking and sending t-shirts to teams.

Admin duties now.

This morning, Kathy told me that the freezer wasn’t freezing. I called a couple of my other repair guys to see who they thought would be a good refrigerator man. Ended up calling Curtis from M&M Appliance Repair.

He told me that it would cost about $600 to get the 15 year old one fixed or about $1,000 for a new, basic model.

We opted for the new version. We went to Lowes, and found one we liked. It had a slight bump on one side and a cracked bottom drawer. We got them to drop the price from $1,200 to $900. Yeah, baby!

I also bought a couple more bed slats and set up the bed that Ashley brought back from her house.

Ashley and I worked on the slide show for the Whirlwind briefings in the morning, which we call “Heaven 111.” 100 minutes of praise and worship, language and culture studies, and 11 minutes of prayer time.

There are a lot of slides and I think they really add to the performance. Way to go ASH!

One of the slides is the tetragrammaton, the four letters YHVH in Hebrew. It’s usually translated as “Yahweh,” or “Jehovah,” but the only one who knew for sure was the High Priest of the temple in Jerusalem. It’s also on Ashley’s neck.

K and I went out for Popeyes, but they had run out of ice. That wasn’t going to work for K, so we ended up next door at Panda Express. It was pretty good.

Admin duties now.

Powerful clouds today!

Ashley and I had fun today. Basically, any time I’m with Ashley, it’s fun!

I found some little booties for Penelope.

We went on safari to Alpharetta to get a crib Ashley found on Craigs list.

Everything fit in the trunk of the Explorer.

Put it together again at Ashley’s house.

Signed the lease at Huntington Creek. Also had a visit with Ian and Jack North.

Admin duties now.

Old School Dr. Pepper.

Boss Hog.

Saturday, I did the shopping.

Cleaned the fish tank.

I received my oil lamps from Israel. Hebron, to be exact. From the same location where Jesus would have gotten his.

Beautiful colors.

Sunday, I had a fun birthday! Ashley and I took a family from Perimeter Church on a tour of the International Village.

We then had a popcycle party for the kids at the mission.

Came home to work on admin duties.

Enjoying reading about Peru.

Met up with Ashley, Miles and Jesse to go to Provinos for supper. K and I like it because the birthday people get a free meal. Yeah, baby.

Rained this weekend.

Good day!

Recorded a new edition of Verbal Surgery! Yeah, baby! I enjoy talking about how the brain works and how you can change it. All Above is a terrific example of this. Just click on the title and groove!

Monday, I took my car to get the tires aligned. One of the front ones had the tread starting to separate. The tires lasted 5 years, that’s about right. So I ended up getting three more new tires. I had to repair a flat on the other one about two weeks ago.

Repaired the feeders in my back yard. The wire that holds them up broke.

Hibiscus is blooming!

Shopping at Walmart.

Resting.

Even grass growing interests me.

Doughnut cloud.

Looks like an Amazon bug.

This morning I recorded a new edition of Verbal Surgery!

I really like this one. I take my listeners on the “Brain Train” to the Lake of Love. It’s a fun story!

Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Edited the videos from last week. I have one church completed: edited, uploaded and burned a dvd and put the package in the mail to them.

Automated my social media twitter feed. It’ll run for about 6 weeks now with 5 updates a day.

Worked on packing my backpack for Peru.

Admin duties now.

Ashley and I enjoyed briefing our teams on Catholicism this morning. We gave them the Golden Egg of Eggcellence.

We had our Dedication Day: Pass the baton, prayer dedication card placed in front of the picture of Jesus, the anointing of oil from the Holy Land, and finally, signing the Landing Pad. It’s a potent combo.

Then on a Cultural Safari to Plaza Fiesta.

Said our goodbyes at the missions.

We saw my dear friend Chip Sweeney at one of the missions with the team from Perimeter.

Home to do yard work. Redid all the bird feeders.

Watched Magic in the Moonlight with Kathy. It was ok.

Admin duties now.

Ashley and I had fun briefing our teams on Judaism and Islam.



We had our Red String ceremony.

Your partner ties a red string around your wrist. It’s a prayer trigger.

Ate lunch at Culcutta Palatte.

The owner is from Bangladesh. He was glad to see us!

Then to Al Madina and the Hindu temple.

They’re doing great at the missions!



Stopped by Walmart to pick up some supplies.

Watched Castle with K.

Studied logistics for the Peru trip.

Admin duties now.

Part of my research for this trip is to see if I can get completely off the electricity grid and produce solar energy to recharge batteries and my iPhone.

It seems to really need more full sun in order to recharge my mobile battery.

Ashley and I had fun briefing the teams.

Rocking out!

Studied Hinduism and Buddhism this morning.

Ate Malasian food at Penang.

Went on a Cultural Safari to Asian Square.



Ashley and I checked on our teams from Perimeter Church.

Ashley and I enjoyed briefing our teams from Newnan today! They are Sonrise BC and Southern Crescent BC.


She’s got to be one of the most beautiful pregnant women ever.

I played acoustic guitar and sang “Cristo Vive.” Good times.

Took them on a tour to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

We ate there as well.

Then to the missions! They’re doing a terrific job!

Ashley’s car had a flat. We got a couple of new tires for her.

We also deposited some checks. Amen to that!

Got home around 8pm. Long day!

Ate supper with K and J! Always good.
