Ouch! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:17 pm  

Went to the Gwinnett County Health Department in Lawrenceville this morning.
g

r

The nurse gave me my Hepatitis B shot.

n
I had my last one five years ago. I’m supposed to have the third in the series in two months. Really didn’t hurt.

Also was given some oral Typhoid capsules. They’re a live virus so they have to be kept in the refrigerator.

Came home to pick up the rest of the family and went on over to the mission at Azalea.
k
t

a

Lots of homework. I’m glad all of us were there to help.
j
Jesse has been working with the kids outside playing sports. That’s great!
j
We enjoyed some Mexican food on the way home.
a

t

Went to Staples to pick up some supplies for the DVD project I’m doing for our supporters.
c
It’s a video of Ashley and I speaking at FBC Jonesboro. I thought it was pretty good. Hope they like it!

Admin duties now!

Are you smarter than a sixth grader?

Love these cirrus undulatus clouds. We get more like this as the weather gets colder.

Pre-shot! Azalea!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:45 pm  

This morning I set up my appointment to get my inoculations for my trip to India in October. Took time to research which place to go, whether to use a private organization, what appointments were available . . . . Bottom line, I’m supposed to be at the Gwinnett County Health Clinic tomorrow at 12:30. Sounds like a can do operation.

Enjoyed good family time for lunch.
tj
k

Then off to the mission to check on the kids.

m
Sure have missed them.
j

Back at home working on admin duties. Always email to answer, events to plan, churches to contact.

Enjoyed watching High Fidelity this evening with K. Interesting, but not great movie.

What do you think about Jesse’s gigantic pinata suit?
j

Ah, the magic of photography!

Clinton looked pretty good in it too!
c

This little tree was growing inside of the church.
tr

Ashley is so much help and absolutely wonderful with mission kids!
a

Jesse and Kathy are both so loved by the kids. The mission is a terrific place to hang out!

Coin Show with Jesse!

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:18 pm  

I enjoy spending time with Jesse! He’s interested in collecting gold and silver.

We went over to Marietta Hilton today to look at what they have.
mh
cs

I bought a few old coins from 1st century Rome! They don’t look too great but I bought 4 for $10 total! Can’t beat that!

I liked this license plate as we were walking into the hotel.
s

They had this Howitzer canon on display in the lobby. The hotel is on the site where the Georgia Military Academy once stood.
c
Beautiful view out the back door.
v

We enjoyed driving through Buckhead and looking at a bookstore over there.
bb

Came on home to work on admin duties and rest! Looking forward to being with my mission kids tomorrow!

Podcasts! Atlanta Community Ministries!

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:57 pm  

Yesterday I posted two new podcasts! Awesome, baby!

I picked out where I’ll be buried one day. Led me to using Grave Sight. Check out “Grave Sight” One of my best efforts yet!

And don’t play “Freeze Tag” with life! You’ll really like this one!

This morning Kathy, Ashley and I met up with my team from the Atlanta Community Ministries!

They worked at Sierra Creek, Southern Trace and Lake Placid apartments in Sandy Springs.

After we got back from studying with the Rabbi, Kathy and I decided to go to the beach for a few days.

Not sure what this means. It was in the Jewish part of the cemetery.

And here is where I will be buried.

I cleared out an unused area, in the arms of the tree. Found a piece of uncut marble at the edge of the cemetery. A guy that cuts marble gave me the other piece. Neither have any writing on them. I sit there and think of my mortality and the urgency to embrace life!

And Historic Downtown Savannah.

Glad to be back home. We took Jesse out for El Torerros this evening.

Working on Admin duties. Went to Walmart to pick up some supplies for the three events I’m doing tomorrow.

I liked the way the vines entwined the bars.

Just a reminder. . . .

Final Taste!

Tim A. Cummins @ 4:49 pm  

Today Kathy and I went to the Atlanta Jewish Community Center for the final of three parts of the Taste of Judaism with Rabbi Brian Glusman.
b
He did an awesome job!

I enjoy learning more Hebrew words and how Judaism relates to Christianity.
f
This is ISRAEL in Hebrew. It literally means “Struggle with God.”

These mezuzahs are put on the door posts. They include a small scroll with scripture from the Hebrew Bible.

After the meeting we got together with Bill Doverspike and his beloved Deborah.

Always fun to hang out with them!
b
Jesse also came down for lunch. Never too much Jesse!

I went by Clarkston International Bible Church to drop of some supplies for the Mommies and Me program where Kathy works with refugee babies.
ci
Admin duties now.
s
Wasn’t sure what that warning sticker was for. It was on a slushee machine.

Toastmasters! Rising Apes!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:16 pm  

Spent most of the day with Jesse today at the Toastmasters meeting.

He enjoys learning more about public speaking. What a great skill!

It was the Regional contest. We enjoyed listening to the speakers. Lasted for about 4 hours. Still fun to hang out with J.
t
This evening Jesse, K and I went to see Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I really enjoyed the movie! Amazingly lifelike computer generation.
ca
K and I also stayed to watch Cowboys and Aliens. Liked that one a lot too!

NAMB! MALL!

Tim A. Cummins @ 4:55 pm  

I worked on editing and uploading my newest video to YouTube this morning. Ashley helped shoot me doing a presentation to the youth group at FBC Jonesboro . . . one of my favorite summer teams!

I was on dad gum FIRE, baby! Check it out and see for yourself.

Ashley rode with me today to go pick up some binders that my partners at the North American Mission Board had for me.
n

I appreciate their generosity!

While I was there, I got together with some of the Media and Ethnic experts at the board.
m
Always fun to hang out with guys with kindred spirits.

I totally messed up a pair of pants I have. It had a little ink stain on them. We tried to fix them and MAN, it just kept getting worse and worse!

So I officially retired them and got a few new pairs at the mall.

I liked these shoes!
s

On the way home, traffic was terrible! I car caught on fire and blocked all three lanes of the highway.

I kept praying to the Lord for patience. I needed it right NOW!

Home now to work on admin duties.

I decided to burn DVDs of my presentation last Wednesday to the supporters of our ministry. My current mailing list is 161 people. That’ll take awhile to burn!

I think it’s awesome that I can buy DVDs for about .05 and mail them for next to nothing. Sure beats the old days when I’d send out VHS tapes!

I liked this bumper sticker!
s
Wonder where these were going?
t

Where’s this from?
