Went on a Cultural Safari to Global Mal and Al Madina.

Enjoyed lunch with the Beaver Creek team at Ashiana.

Lil’ Red got a flat tire.

Enjoyed time with K and J! Rested!

Ashley and I had a great time briefing our kids on Hinduism and Buddhism.

Then took them on a Cultural Safari to Asian Square!

They’re doing a great job at the missions!

Nice zipper cloud this morning.

Ashley and I had fun briefing our teams this morning!

We are doing a live video recording of our briefings. They’re fun!

Then to the missions! The teams are doing great!

Picked up Jesse to hang out with us. We got some Yogurtland today!

Back to shooting pictures and video of the teams.

Came home to take a shower and get ready for the Baby Party.

I’ve thought she was a girl all along. And of course, ahem, I was RIGHT! BABY GIRL! I can’t wait to get to hold my baby Penelope!

Ashley had a lot of fun things for the baby party.



We dropped off Jesse’s Altima at T&G on the way home. It needs to get the emissions checked.

Home now to work on admin duties.

Saturday evening K and I had a fun supper with Jesse.

I also had a great view of the International Space Station. Nearly three minutes and super clear.

I got Jesse a new toy: T-Rex from Jurassic World.

Got up early and posted my new episode of Verbal Surgery to FaceBook. I really like this edition called “Flip Flop Brain.”


This morning I went to Westside Baptist Church.

Pastor Ben spoke about Hezekiah.

I’ve been practicing the Aaronic Blessing from Numbers 6 in Hebrew. Coming along!

Ate lunch with the Jimmy and Cheryl Kendall with their daughter Roxy and her husband Justin. Ashley and Miles hosted the event. Jesse was there along with K and I.

We took our annual family picture for the prayer card.

Cute little baby only four days old!

Cute lil’ Dad.

Studied more Hebrew when I got home and played with my mini drone.

Research on Peru.

New show with Kathy that’s shot in Atlanta called Complications. Pretty cool doctor show.

Admin duties now.

Super cool beetle.

Friday, Kathy and I enjoyed lunch with Ashley.

Ate a late supper with Jesse around 9pm.

Venus, the Moon and Jupiter were beautiful!

Saturday, I worked on burning and packing up the dvd and bills into the mail.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery. I haven’t uploaded it yet. It’s called Flip Flop Brains. How to change your mind from worry and fear. Good one!

Went to Walmart to do the family shopping.

Back home to continue memorizing those three verses from Numbers in Hebrew.

K and I watched Belle on dvd. It was ok. It’s about a mulatto child brought up by the landed gentry. Based on a true story.

Admin duties now.

Still doing research on Judaism and getting some equipment to flesh out the production.

Also want to find out how much it’d cost to put my face on this blimp.

Focus on dreams.

I like the sound of this. Penelope will call me “Papi.”

Last night I went for a 4.98 mile run. It was dark.

Sometimes VERY dark.

There’s no street lights in one section of my run.

Still felt great.

This morning Ashley and I enjoyed briefing our team from Rocky Bayou BC on Catholicism.

We presented the team leader with the Golden Egg of Eggcellence!

After the briefing, we had our dedication time: “It’s up to ME!” and signed the Landing Pad.

The students turn in the cards with the names of the person they’re praying for in to Jesus.

Portraits with the “Sublime Blue Mariachi Hat.”

Then to Plaza Fiesta! Always fun.

I bought Ashley two new bags. Nothing better than spoiling a daughter. Unless perhaps that’s spoiling a grand daughter. Hmmmmmmm.

Checked on the teams at the mission. They’ve done a great job, especially considering the awful heat.

Went by some apartments to tell managers about the teams coming next week.

Also met with the new marketing director of the Clarion hotel.

Came home in a thunderstorm.

Enjoyed watching Royal Pains and episodes of Malcom in the Middle with K.

Admin duties now.

I liked this cross at a restaurant in Plaza Fiesta.

There were pigeons going around the tables.

I decided to show the kids some of my bush skills. Caught one of the pigeons within five minutes.

The hard part was doing it gently.

Gave myself a haircut last night!

Ashley and I had fun briefing our team from Rocky Bayou on Hinduism and Islam.

Then to Al Madina to see Islam up and personal.

Ate lunch at Global Mall and saw the Shiv Mandir temple.

Then to the missions!

We deposited money into the bank. The guard reminded me of Africa.

A couple of the girls got sick because of the heat. It was oppressive!

We checked on the missions then took one of the girls to my office to lay down on one of the air mattresses we have while I took one of the team leaders to MARTA. She’s went to the airport to see her daughter who was going to India tonight!

Enjoyed watching the end of Million Dollar Arm with K. We liked it!

I just got back home from running 4.98 miles in the dark. I just can’t handle the extreme heat.

It was fine running. I liked the sounds of frogs near the lake. Reminds me of what it’s going to be like when I go to the Amazon. 100 days from tomorrow!

I liked this on the team’s bus.

Ashley and I had fun briefing our team on Buddhism this morning!

Then off to Asian Square to see where the Buddhists buy their idols, eat a coconut bun and see the Vietnamese pharmacy.

We ate lunch at Penang for some delicious Malasian food.

To the missions to work with the kids!




Hottest day of the Summer. Kids still had a great attitude.

Weird cloud.

Say what?!

Then on a Cultural Safari to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

We got the team to their first locations and taught the driver how to get to their second locations.

We had a massive 195 person team from Liberty BC, VA that we briefed and then took to Plaza Fiesta.

They did a wonderful job of singing there!

Admin duties now.

Last night, I worked on the initial arrangements for my trip to Peru in Sept/Oct. I’ll be spending a week on the Amazon and a week in the mountains around Machu Picchu. Sounds amazing. I’m looking forward to focusing on my Spanish skills!

I decided to go ahead and get the tickets because it looks like gas prices are starting to go back up again.

This morning, K and I enjoyed going to Westside Baptist Church. Pastor Ben always does a good job.

Came home to rest. I packaged up the DVD and laminated photo for our friends from FBC Jonesboro.

Finished editing the video and uploaded to YouTube.

Added two more pages to my Power Prayer package: Contents and Bio pages.

Here’s what’s inside the finished package.

I’m still copying the files from my computer to the gold USB keys.

Flew my mini-drone. Getting the hang of it fast, because it’s like its big sister the AR Drone 2.0.

Watched Defiance with K.

Admin duties now.
