Put some ibuprofen in my medicine jar in my room.

Mixed up hummingbird feeder solution. Cleaned, refilled and rehung the feeders.

I’ve been looking at new shirts.

I stopped because it started sprinkling. Lots of thunder and lightning nearby.

Globe Repair! Restoration Church! 7.18.26

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:08 pm  

I ordered the meal last night for the Farmer’s Market.

Uploading files to YouTube has been really slow lately. I got the final Thank You note to Tyler at FBC Canton. That marks the team complete.

Calculations on how much money was made this week from two teams serving over six days.

OYB!

The big globe I use for The Show started to leak yesterday. I brought my hot glue gun to reinforce my previous repair. It seemed a lot better. I kind of lost it late this morning when during a break a bunch of kids were punching it. Freaked me out.

Held pretty well under pressure.

Checked the mail.

Cleaned up the Fellowship Hall. I decided to leave my chairs and tables in presentation mode. I’m tired of moving a bunch of tables and chairs around when people aren’t even using them.

It was kind of sad to turn out the lights on the Summer Team schedule. It’s weird how I keep thinking how it could be the last time I do it. The Father told me, “You still have gas in the tank.”

Power Outage! Restoration Church! Al Madina! 7.17.26

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:35 pm  

Rough night. No power. No internet. Hot and still. K didn’t gave a Cpap. I tried to use the Honda with an inverter to power the machine but it didn’t work. I also had a fan on the circuit. Not sure what would work.

Fun time with my team from Restoration Church with my friend Cindy Hunnicut. She’s pretty much the dean of middle school youth work. She did a fantastic job at the mission in Roswell.

Took them to Hibachi Grill for lunch. The Kitab bookstore was closed today. Friday off. Makes sense. We still saw Al Madina.

Massive thunderstorms on the way back to Chamblee. Just too much. Didn’t go to the Mission.

Screenshot

Uploading the video I shot to YouTube.

Just keep going with Español. Also listened to Don Cheto.

FBC Canton! D-Day! Plaza Fiesta! Azalea! 7.16.26

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:00 pm  

Thursday evening we had powerful thunderstorms. Power was out from 6:25 PM to about 6:30 AM. I was able to edit the video that I shot this week, but I had to wait till Friday the 17th to start uploading it.

Had a great D-Day with my team from Canton! Took them to eat at Fuji and on Safari to Plaza Fiesta.

I always enjoy going to Artisenal.

They signed the Landing Pad. It was first introduced thirteen years ago today.

The team had fun playing tag with the Mission kids.

Had a great day with the team. The kids at the Mission really enjoyed them.

Interesting.

OYB!

Storms blew into Chamblee. They didn’t last too long.

Screenshot

We had an issue with the order I made with the manager at the BHFM today. She made double the amount of food for the group! The leader was very positive and didn’t freak out which I really appreciated. We had a big party at the Mission with the kids this afternoon with the extra food. I made sure the order for tomorrow is perfect.

Screenshot

Still haven’t heard back from Dr. Athena about J’s appointment. Hope it works out soon.

Screenshot

I left Shelley a VM about this FBA opportunity. I told her very clearly that the hard part wasn’t me handling the team but finding out a date that would work for them.

Screenshot

Sent the group leader from FBC Canton links to the Group Photos and for the photos of their team today.

Screenshot

Keep going.

Had a great time with my team from FBC Canton today. The Show went well. Took them on Safari to the BHFM and then to Azalea.

A couple of bald face hornets took over the hummingbird feeder near my study station outside. I sprayed a q-tip with hornet spray and coated the areas where they were gathering. They didn’t like it. Hope they stay gone.
