Grill Prep!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:09 pm  

Last night, J let me know that he was feeling what seemed like a bone sticking out of his gum line.  So this morning we went over to see the oral surgeon. Dr. Tucker made it sound like it wasn’t anything to worry about.  I reckon if he ain’t worried we shouldn’t be!

We’re working on upgrading some of our video gear.  We’ve heard some good things about some of these little cameras that actually shoot HD.  Ever heard of the Flip cam?  Cost about $150.  My Sony Handicam has been a real workhorse, but it doesn’t work with many computers.  Fortunately, my Sony VAIO can use it.

Then over to Ian North’s house.

We shared with him what we found out about the cameras.  We’ll do more research before we buy anything.  Jesse also worked on Ian’s computer.  He had about 50 programs running in the background.  He just has dialup for internet at the mission.  It’s brutally slow.  When everyone had dialup, web developers built sites that loaded quickly.  NOW, there’s so much flash animation/video/audio going on that with dialup a lot of sites just take forever to load.

We also took over an amp for Ian’s brother Eric to use his guitar with.

Today we worked on prep for Impact Atlanta this weekend.

Jesse and I went through all the grills that we have, cleaned them out and left them to dry over night.

Ashley and J will load them over to First Baptist Atlanta tomorrow afternoon.  I’ll be speaking at a conference at the George Baptist Convention building.

Went to Azalea to check on the kids and make sure that Sayid’s computer was still working.  It was!  He’d been working on his math prep for the CRCT test.  Good job Jesse!

Came home and ran 4 miles.  Felt better than the other day.  Sure is beautiful weather to run in.  I love that it stays light so long.

Now my usual email/blog/pix!

Getting ready to speak at a conference in Michigan this Fri/Saturday.  Looking forward to it.  Be praying for that and for the 16 communities where we’ll have outreach on Saturday!
