Thing about yard work is it never seems to be done!

I’m trying something new this year.  Instead of gathering up all my leaves I’m trying to just mow them into little pieces.

I read an article about how crazy it is to remove the leaves and then fertilize.  The leaves WERE fertilizer.  Of course they don’t look as good.

Started me thinking about whether we already have what we need, maybe in a different form!

It’s not that we need new people in our churches that do outreach, as much as converting the “regular” members into a more dynamic form.

Best thing was that I got the lawnmower to start!  Even that will preach!

Been doing a lot of research on the whole social marketing phenomenon.  Do you have a Facebook page?  Twitter?  Post videos to YouTube?  LinkedIn?

I think that all these forms of connection need to be proactively used by the church!

Had a fun morning with my kids.  I’m glad that Jesse is feeling better.  He goes in for his oral surgery tomorrow.  I find it wonderfully whimsical that he’s getting his Wisdom Teeth removed on April Fool’s day!  Ark, ark!

I took the kids to eat at Metro Cafe Diner.

For dessert we had a piece of cake that was the size of Ashley’s head!

Spent a couple of hours with the kids at Azalea.  I thought we’d nearly finished all their homework yesterday.  Joi and Mohasana came to the mission with a 20 page packet due tomorrow!

It was a pre-CRCT test.  These immigrant kids have a hard time with these standardized tests.

When I was a little Tim, I ate those tests up like candy.  But my parents had Masters degrees and one was a teacher and I spoke English as my mother tongue.  BIG difference.

Pray that they’ll do well on the test.

And now, for your viewing pleasure, another Story Tim!  I this one I tell of my adventures riding buses in Nepal and India!
