I just finished my fiancial report for my treasurer and CPA. Good to get that done!

This morning I went Kroger to pick up supplies for the Outreach Event that Greater Faith was hosting at Gwinnett Crossings. I had a date with Kathy so I didn’t stay.

K and I enjoyed a great meal at John Boys on 78. Good ol’ country cooking. We’ll go out for a walk later when it cools down.

Worked on the Team Assignment page.

My tongue still hurts from the dental drilling.

Ran 4 miles before lunch.

Peace.

Yesterday I endured the worst dentist experience of my life.

I thought the root canal was going to be the hard part.  It was nothing compared to the pain I had yesterday.  The dentist was filling in and kept saying, “I need to hurry up.  I gotta be in Alanta at 2pm.”  First he told me the procedure would take about an hour and a half.  Then he saw the clock and proclaimed, “We’ll see if we can do this in an hour.”  He continued to rush and then drilled into the side of my tongue!  The final blow was when he announced in a loud tone, “I gotta get outta here so I can go make some REAL money.”

I felt like I had be brutalized, insulted and had $355 taken out of my wallet.  Man.

So I just went home and moped around and felt like crying.  What a baby.

I took pictures of my tongue.

Yes, they’ll end up on the internet.

Kathy and I went up Stone Mountain this morning.  I had teams to visit, but Kathy needed me worse.

Ashley wrote the last of the newsletters and got them in the mail.  I think this new refrigerator magnet clip idea is going to work great.  If you’re not on my regular mailing list but want to be, email me at timacummins@gmail.com.

Peace.

It’s 7:33am.

Kathy woke me up about thirty minutes ago.  Her mom just passed away.  Thank you, Lord for taking care of her for these last two years.  Thank you for bringing her to her eternal home.

We’re expecting some of the family to come by our house.

The best thing was that Kathy’s sister, Ann came over last night to check on her mom.  Ann had told us that K and I could go out and get some personal time and that she would watch her mom for us.  When we got back from eating Mexican food Ann had put Nell to bed and both of them were sleeping together.

Thank you, Lord, that Ann was here.  That she was able to help and that she was the one to tell Kathy.

Thanks, Lord for helping us this last year that Kathy could stay home and take care of her mom.

Amen.

I worked on my newsletter this morning. Wrote about my tooth travails. I’m ready to print. Ashley didn’t have hers quite done.

Went for a 4 mile run before I went into Chamblee.

I took pictures of my team from Meadowbrook today. They had several kids accept Christ today! Awesome!

Came home to make the photocopies for the newsletter but the store closed early. Bahd luck.

Ashley came with me today to help me orient one of our new teams from Meadowbrook Baptist Church, Oxford, Alabama. The group served in six locations and really did a great job. Ashley shot pictures with her Canon Sure Shot and I shot video with the Soni HandiCam. The pix are on the web at the Photo Gallery.

We also went to Frye Electronics. We are looking for a new monitor and checked out the prices of the Macs there. Seems to be the same price at the Mac Store. I also picked up another Remote Control Micro Helicopter. That thing has been fun. It flies around the house like a hummingbird. The real hummingbird I saw at my feeder two days ago. Super groovy.

Kathy and I watched the Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp. It was an ok movie. Are all chicks crazy about Johnny Depp or what?

Took care of my admin work. Email. Phone calls. Bank. (PTL!)

I’ve run 4 miles the last three days in a row. Today I rest.

Peace.

K and I took care of Grandma this morning.

Then K did a loop around the mountain on her bike and I ran 4 miles.

This afternoon J and I worked on cleaning up the 50 gallon aquarium downstairs.  He was really interested in salt water fish, now not so much.  It’s an electrical hazard so we decided to get rid of it.   We have a smaller aquarium for the couple of fish and crabs that were left.

I’ve been working on admin stuff.

Nearly time to work on the newsletter.

Peace.

Kathy and I enjoyed a fun time at the zoo.  We only stayed about an hour so we could get back and take care of K’s mom.  Ashley watched her while we were gone.  We also went out for curry at Vikhyat near Northlake Mall.  Love that place!

Ran 4 miles.

Peace.

I spent the morning helping take care of my mother in law.

Early afternoon I ran 4mi.

Kathy and I went to help with the Outreach Event at Willow Branch with the team from Connect ’07. It was like working at the UN!

Peace.

I took the Connect ’07 team with Bennett over to Buford Highway this morning. We did the prayer walk with Asian Square and Ngozi Tropical Foods. It was fun to see the gringos squirm at the sight of some of the goodies!

Then I shot over to Gwinnett Crossings to meet with Pastor Kim of the Korean Church of Atlanta. He and two other pastors and 3 kids will be hosting a Backyard Bible Club. I’m very excited to see a unification of a number of churches at this complex.

My tooth is feeling ok. Can’t really chew on it, but no sensation of pain. My jaws hurt from all the needle pokes. Hard to open my mouth really wide or chew.

Peace.

I went to scope out two new missions in Lawrenceville with my partner Tyler Recker. We’re setting up 12 locations for the Youth Outreach United teams for next week. One of the managers was named Destiny. She was prayed up and said she’d been asking God for someone to come help them. It really did feel like being moved by the hand of God.

Then I went to have my root canal done. I thought Dr. Woods did a great job. Pretty much pain free. All the infection was drilled out so hopefully I won’t be dealing with the pain issues.

I’m enjoying flying my remote control inside the house helicopter. Enormous fun.

I gave a briefing to our Connect ’07 team in Clarkston. Bennett and I set out the plans for the day for the team. We’ll have Outreach Events every evening in order to generate contact with the community.

Working on the DVD version of the Multihousing Seminar I did in Texas. I’m having to compress and add a menu to them. Everything is on line already. My team that’s in charge of ELearning is getting a special Web portal together to watch the seminar on. Higher quality with faster download due to the Flash encoding.

My jaw hasn’t been hurting too badly. Looking forward to going to the Dentist tomorrow. Weird, huh?
