Had a busy morning working on two new podcasts! They’re a labor of love!

Check out “Reigning Yourself IN” We stop ourselves from being the very best we can be.

And “Trikes to Bikes!” How learning can be sped up, dramatically!

This afternoon Jesse and I went over to Azalea to help the kids with their homework.

We were swamped!

The dogwoods outside my office are just now starting to bloom!

Easter is just around the corner!

Ashley and I had a great time today hosting three teams from Roswell United Methodist Church at our missions in Chamblee!

After a short briefing at the church, we led the teams over to Azalea Place, Highland Gardens and Huntington Terraces.

They did a wonderful job of sharing with the kids and helping them feel even better about themselves!

Came home to rest then work on admin duties!

Worked on setting up our new prayer card for the ministry.

Also starting to edit video.

Spring has sprung!

This morning I was back to working on forms for funding our ministry. Takes a lot of time to do, but it’s necessary!

Had a fun birthday party for Izzy!

She’s Miles’ niece. Feels like she’s a part of our family. It’s amazing to me that she’s already three!

Came home to take family photos. We’re out of Prayer Cards. We gave away about 5,000 in a year. My goal is to take over your refrigerator. Here’s the picture we’ll probably use!

Then over to Chamblee to catch up with my team from 12 Stone Church in Lawrenceville. They did a wonderful job at Azalea, Chamblee Heights, Shallowford Gardens and Pearl Lane.

Back home now working on admin duties.

Installing editing software on my new computer. I’ll start working on some other projects soon.

We went to Fernbank last night to check out the telescope. I thought this picture of the moon turned out pretty cool.

K and I also went for a walk.

Love the spring flowers!

I thought these clouds were awesome!

Nearly 2 1/2″ of rain while I was gone!

Got up early and started plowing through all my work on Thursday.

Fortunately, I was able to keep up with the email duties while I was in London.

Still have forms to fill out for funding for some of my partnering churches.

Enjoyed going to Azalea with Jesse. That’s always fun.

Helped Nishi with her adding.

Great to see the kids again!

Had fun spending extra time with Jesse today. He helped me wok on my computer. We ate at Red Robin then hung out at the book store.

Back to admin duties now.

What the heck is that for? Bald fatties?

I thought this bumper sticker was funny!

I hear we’re expecting a Super Moon tomorrow! Always looks pretty super to me!

Had an awesome time in London!

Here are some of the highlights!
The Natural History museum is incredible!

I love dinosaurs! It was great to see real fossils from some of my favorites, like this one!

I happened to be eating in a small cafe that was making a movie. I’m in it!

Not sure if you saw the DaVinci Code. I enjoyed walking through the Temple Church, home of the Knights Templar.

You don’t see statues like this in many churches!

The stained glass was amazing!

What’s London without Big Ben?

Did you know that “Ben” is actually the bell?

I enjoy modern art. I like Andy Warhol in particular. This is from the Tate Modern.

Super cool to visit the reconstructed Globe Theatre.

Are you a Shakespeare fan? Who isn’t?

Visited the George Inn where Shakespeare and Chaucer and Ben Franklin used to visit.

I can’t get over the age of these buildings!

But if you want real age, check out this place!

Here’s me with the Rosetta Stone! Incredible things at the British Museum!

Gotta love the Easter Island heads!

Did you know I was born on Julius Caesar’s birthday? July 12, baby!

They have more mummies than you can shake a stick at.

The Elgin Marbles from the Parthanon!

Amazing!

I’m a HUGE Ben Franklin fan! (My Mom was born on his birthday! Wise woman!) He actually walked up and down these steps.

I was in awe.

Here’s his study.

It’s the only remaining residence of him in the world.

This is called Cleopatra’s needle. Cool obelisk.

I love Egyptian stuff!

I attended a worship service in Westminster Abbey.

I read my part of the responsive reading with super enthusiasm. I liked the idea of my voice echoing through that amazing cathedral.

I did a cool tour through London at night.

Visited where Jack the Ripper was. He was near London Bridge.

This statue was on top of the Marble Arch. I liked the way the sun lit it up.

Changing of the guard.

Super cool! I remember being there when I was a little Tim, back in 1964!

Buckingham Palace with fancy pants gates!

I told him I liked his hat.

He wasn’t impressed by my wit.

The Beefeater liked me better!

Parliament is another amazing structure!

Met some new friends at a conference I went to.

We’re interested in how language can be used to improve people’s lives! Words have power, baby!

I guess this sums it up!

Glad it’s drier today! Had some rain this weekend.

Had a fun day with my team from Virginia Tech!

They’re a super fired up team! I always enjoy working with college students.

I have a briefing and prayer time with them, then took them for a tour of the International Village. That’s always interesting!

They’re working on service projects at FBC Doraville and at a couple of our apartment complexes.

They worked with my kids at Azalea.

And also at Huntington Terraces.

Spent this evening knocking out admin duties and getting ready for my trip to London. I leave Tuesday morning and will be back March 17th.

Doubt I’ll update the Blog or Facebook while i’m gone.

Pray for my safe travels and that I’ll have many opportunities for learning and growth!

Pray also for the teams coming to work for us and our staff to carry on doing the Lord’s work while I’m away!

Love you guys!

Had fun learning more about how language affects people in positive ways this weekend. Jeff Stephens is a good friend.

I’m glad I had some time with him.

Took Kathy to eat Italian food at Provino’s tonight. GREAT to spend extra time with my sweety favorite!

Looking forward to a relaxing night with her. We watched 127 Hours tonight. Pretty intense movie!

I have my team from Virginia Tech to work with tomorrow! GREAT!

I liked this bumper sticker.

Had fun today with one of my mentors, Jeff Stephens.

He’s the closest person I know to the Mentalist on TV.

I know many of you have read about my interest in brains and neuroscience in particular. Jeff is on the cutting edge of getting rapid results with people seeking change. I’m looking forward to spending more time with him this weekend along with other therapists. What’s your feeling about the word “hypnosis?”

Self-hypnosis has helped me enormously with stress and learning languages in particular.

He’s a great Christian brother and his work has helped me have an even more powerful prayer life. It was fun hearing about his background. He was even a street preacher at one time. My kinda guy!

Did some shopping and banking when I got home.

Spent a fun evening watching the French film Coco Before Chanel with Kathy. I love watching foreign movies. Really helps get my brain into foreign language mode. C’est formidable!

I was sad to see that our neighbors had decided to move. They preferred renting and their landlord (my old neighbor) needs to sell it.

The only bright side as that they took their cat with them. It’s killed a lot of birds in the neighborhood. Especially in my back yard! Wasn’t happy about that.

I love the beautiful trees in my neighborhood!

Had a fun morning in Morrow today with the leaders from churches around that area!

They were a lively bunch!

My prayer is that many of them will partner with us in reaching the International community around Metro Atlanta!

Came back to the house to pick up J and K and then over to Azalea to work with the kids!

Always a good time.

Love seeing the Spring trees!

And a lovely sunset!

She has some just like mine!

And an important question.

This morning I tried to record some new podcasts. Had some issues with the sound card on my new computer. Jesse is trouble shooting it. Hopefully, we’ll get it figured out soon. Glad I still have the Vaio as a back up! Slow, but runs! I can do everything else on my new computer. AMEN!

Had a meeting with one of my partners from 12 Stone, Brad Chahoy this afternoon.

Here’s Brad with some of the kids from Azalea.

I took him to a couple of the missions in Lawrenceville and introduced him to the management. Looking forward to getting those guys mobilized soon!

Picked up Jesse and Kathy from the house than went on over to Azalea to work with the kids.

Great to have help!

Lots of homework!

Melissa wanted to show me her green tongue!

Back at the house now for admin duties!

Glad to see construction picking up in Atlanta!
