I can’t believe how COOL it is here in the ATL! Believe it or not, my temperature gauge said it was 60 degrees this morning . . . in AUGUST! Unbelievable!

Also got more rain. Another surprise this year. We actually have an over abundance of rain.

I actually wore long pants, shoes and a jacket today!

I helped Jesse move his big mattress to his apartment at Azalea. He’s looking forward to sleeping on that!

We couldn’t get the box springs in the van. We’ll have to wait to we can borrow a pick up.

Came home and got our “new” car! It’s a 1999 Nissan Altima.

We had about $1,200 worth of work on it. Drives great now!

Took Jesse out for about an hour to practice learning how to shift a manual transmission. He did a good job! We’re still building on his knowledge, but getting out of first gear is the hard part!

Then went to Lowes to pick up some duplicate keys for the car.

Came home to blow some bubbles, but it’s kind of windy.

Admin duties now. We have three teams in town tomorrow!

Had fun recording a new podcast!


Your mind and body are connected. Did you know manipulating your body affects how you feel? Check out “ME Body!” You’ll be glad you did! Just click on the title!

After recording I went for a 2.66 mile run. Took sweet Sugar dog with me me!

Lots of beautiful flowers on the way.

Squirrels like their fruit!

Got home and cleaned up, then went for lunch and did the family grocery shopping.

Then off to the mission to work with the kids! We had two teachers from the elementary school come by to visit us. They’d heard a lot about Mr. Tim.



Glad to have Jesse’s help!

Home to enjoy watching Duck Dynasty with Kathy!

I think a basic rule should be, “Never have hair bigger than your head.”

Spent time this morning working on my life insurance policy. I have a 20 year term which is about to end. Talked to an agent yesterday and again this morning. I think I have it all figured out.

I picked up Jesse this morning from the mission. We rode out to the North American Mission Board in Alpharetta. They had some supplies for us there!

We got some boxes of shirts as well as yarn and needles.

Stopped off at Barnes and Noble for a bit. One of our favorite things: bookstores!

J and I went to Clarkston to drop the materials off at the Clarkston International Bible Church and the Refugee Sewing Society. They seemed to be excited about the donations!

We tried to get renters insurance going for Azalea. It’s a work in progress.

Went to Walmart to pick up some groceries.

Checked out an antique store near the mission for a few minutes. Always something interesting to see!

Then to the mission to work with the kids. Had a whole mission full! They’re shy with their new haircuts.

Ate supper with J then headed home to work on admin duties.

Kathy is visiting with one of the young women she mentors. Hopefully she’ll be home soon!

Does this psychic have questionable abilities?

I liked this caterpillar outside the mission.

I thought this was funny.

Most of my day was spent working on getting the title transferred and getting the new tag for the Nissan Altima that was given to us yesterday!

I went all the way across town to find out that the DMV had moved and as of March 1st this year ALL titles and tags are done in your county. I couldn’t believe that their website was out of date with information that critical. Yow!

Did get the process completed though so now all we have to do is get the car in good running condition. My mechanics are waiting for parts out of Florida to get the motor mounts fixed.

Met up with Ashley at the mission at Azalea. We had fun with bubbles.

Then went to pick up $260 more school supplies for the kids. THANKS for your financial support!

The kids were glad to get their stuff.

Enjoyed watching the Guilt Trip on dvd tonight with Kathy. Cute movie.

Admin duties now. The photo galleries are working properly now. I was able to upload pictures. Yeah, baby!

Wasn’t crazy about following this.

I filled up with gas. This was what the person before me spent.

Beauty!

Jesse, Kathy and I went to our friend Christy this afternoon. She donated her 1999 Nissan Altima to the ministry! I know we can put it to good use!

Jesse, Ashley and I worked with the kids at the mission this afternoon. We saw a good group! No one had homework.


Ash and I went to Best Buy to pick up a new camera for Ashley. The last one stopped working. We had insurance on the device so hopefully we’ll get reimbursed for the one we just bought. It’s worked out like that many times in the past.


Ashley and I just flat wear the cameras out. We just take a whole lot of pictures! Nearly a quarter of a MILLION!

Sadly, I couldn’t upload my pictures this evening. Not sure what’s going on.

Came home to work on admin duties and to watch Elementary we had recorded on the DVR. My favorite show.

We had about 1/2″ of rain while we were up in the N. Georgia mountains this week. Flooded in some parts of Atlanta.

Friday morning I got up early to post some new material on my twitter feed. @timacummins has over 80,000 followers!

Kathy joined me on a trip to Pelham, AL this weekend! FBC Pelham is just south of Birmingham.

They brought us one of our best teams this summer! My friend Ben Birdsong is the leader of the group!

They have what is called a “Disciple Now” weekend. A lot of Baptist churches do that. It’s a youth event where groups spend Friday and Saturday nights at a family’s house. Their weekend was themed “reflect.”

I enjoyed getting to know the kids there and sharing with them. I did three sessions on Saturday morning and was the main speaker for the finale on Saturday night. We had some great music too!

It was about a three hour trip in all to get there.

I loved the clouds on Saturday morning.

Jesse and I saw Elysium and Red 2 last night.

Both were good films. We liked Red 2 the best. GREAT movie! Very witty and action packed too!

I wonder what happens if you say “yes?”

I like this.

This grossed me out.

I saw Willie at Walmart!

One of my pet peeves is when people leave tracts about Jesus on the urinal.

The message may be good, but the placement is all wrong.

This was an ad I saw on the counter of a grocery store.

K and I had relaxing few days off in the N. Georgia mountains!

We love it up there.

Art by God.

I love this big tree.

Good to be back home. Admin duties. Getting ready to speak at the Disciple Now weekend in Pelham, SC tomorrow.

I’m not sure they should let the blind drive.

What?

Smokey Mountains.

Peaceful.

Looked like it meant business.

Jesse and I enjoyed a delicious Greek lunch today. Never too much Jesse!

Kathy joined us to see Pacific Rim, a movie I was prepared not to like. I thought it turned out pretty good.

Admin duties now. Relaxing day.

A new movie coming out about Steve Jobs starring Ashton Kutcher.

Yesterday was our last day of the Summer Teams! Today is my first day of the Fall Season!

Started off with a new podcast! Always one of my favorite things!

I don’t get to record much during June and July.

Want to be HAPPY? Then check out “Happy Zone!” Practical and fun!

Enjoyed lunch with Ashley and Jesse! LOVE having my children together!

Then over to Barnes and Noble with J. I thought this was interesting.

I liked this too!

Edited the video from our final team from FBC Fountain City, TN.

I’ll send them the links to the photo galleries next. Burned the dvd for them. Once that’s in the mail that means the final team is complete!

Ashley and I gave our final briefing of the Summer today! Sniff, sniff. I sure enjoy working with Ashley!

We passed the baton, “He counting on me.”

Signed the Landing Pad.

Off to Global Mall!



Always something interesting at Madina.

Great lunch at Hibachi Grill.

Ash and I went back to FBC Doraville to take down all of our equipment.

Then to Sandy Springs to say “Kwaheri” to our team. “Good bye!”

Admin duties now. We’re looking forward to getting out of town soon.
