This morning I went over to my doctor’s office.

They sure have taken care of us!

Dr. Barrington has been our team leader for our trip to India.

I picked up my passport in case I need it when I’m in California!

Might just decide to take a short excursion into Mexico with my friends from England.

Drove to Alpharetta to pick up some binders from my partners at the North American Mission Board.


We can always use those!

Picked up another SD card for my camera. 8 GB for $17.99! AMAZING!

Enjoyed hanging out at the bookstore. Had a great talk with Jesse while I was there. He’s on his way to Chicago now.

This is on of the books I’m enjoying right now. Are you a reader?

What’s the longer line?

It’s a famous illusion. Measure it!

Men need changing too!

“It’s easier to change a baby than change your mind.” If you like that quote, you need to check out my PROVERBS on our website!

Groovy game!

I liked this card. Looked like something I would do.

I liked this tree bark outside the bookstore.

Couldn’t you imagine writing on that paper?

Then to my office to drop off the binders.

And to work with the kids at the mission.

Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

Can you guess where I ate supper?

Enjoyed watching TV with K this evening.

Admin duties.

Looking forward to my trip to Cali with good buddies! Head West, young man!

And never, never forget!

Had a fun morning today getting ready for my trip to San Diego later this week. I’m looking forward to seeing my friends from England again!

Ashley and I went to Azalea to help the kids.

Kathy had another project she was working on, so we had to handle them by ourselves. Sure miss K!

The kids had a LOT of homework so we were super busy.

But we love our work!

The kids and one of the moms helped me clean out the refrigerator. It was pretty gross.

Ashley and I had huevos rancheros on the way home. Oh, yeah!

Home now working on admin duties. It’s all good!

Worked on a new podcast this morning. One of my best and most powerful!
“9.11 Love” Click on the title and Feel GOOD, now!

Had a fun lunch today with two of my favorite people: Ian North and Bayo Otiti!

We enjoyed a good meal and talking about our missions. Ian and I spent time at Barnes and Noble discussing movies. We both love ’em!

Went over to Azalea to join Ashley and Kathy to help the kids with their homework. Always a lively group. I’ve especially enjoyed working with the pre-K kids!


But ALL my kids are great!





I’m sure you’re smarter than a first grader!

Our schools even have contracts for spelling!

Kathy and I had a wonderful time to get away for the weekend!


We always look forward to our TK weekends.

We did a LOT of exercise. We rode the bikes for miles and miles. As well as hiking up some of the local mountains. From the summit!

Interesting erosion.

It is such a beautiful place and the weather was awesome.

There was a circus in town.

We had fun checking out the animals.

I liked this shot of the moon.

This car was completely rebuilt. Except for the exterior!

I thought the labyrinth at St. James church was fascinating.

I liked these signs.

We visited Camp Pinnacle while we were there. Beauty!

I also enjoyed checking out the antique stores in Dillard.

I bought this antique globe from the early 40s. I collect old globes. Know my criterium? Tanzania has to be Tanganyika. It changed its name in 1964.

And also this recorded cylinder from the Edison Recording studios. It’s the earliest type of recorded media.

Got both of my new treasures for $20, so I was happy!

I wonder what he’s smokin?

Always on the lookout for flowers!

I prefer my optimo very mild.

I wanted this toy typewriter. Maybe next time . . . .

I like old fences.

Good price. Sign me up!

We hiked around Warwoman Mountain. We liked this chimney.

And this saw blade.

The pine tree grew around the vine.

I thought this one looked like a python.

This spider was bigger than the palm of my hand. I thought twice before sticking my hand down as an example.

We also explored an old cemetery for blacks outside of Clayton. Penland Cemetery had some cool stuff.

I liked these carvings!

I thought these millstones were cool!

We ate at Oinkers for lunch today. Excellent BBQ!

I liked the old RR station at Tallulah Falls.

Fun trip. But glad to be home!

Had a fun day with Jesse today!

Helped him get some last minute stuff for his cross country trip around the mighty USA! Bought me some new pants for my trip to San Diego next week and India in October.

Then over to Azalea to help the kids.

I like when the moms help.

Angel hurt his knee. I had to doctor him up!

We ate some Mexican food then took Jesse over to the Amtrak station.


Family shot!

All aboard!

2 minutes before departure!

He was way earlier than that!

Did you know my Grandfather and my Uncle both worked on the Railroad?

I liked these birds on the line.

I shot the cars on 85 of “Fireworks” mode. That’s how you get the streaking. Beauty!

Ashley and I love shooting!

Just in case you forgot.

I can’t believe how cool it was today! Actually wore long pants and shoes!

We got a little over a 1/2″ of rain yesterday. GREAT for us! Wish some of it would go to help put out the fires in Texas!

Had a fun time taking the mission team from the Grace Brethren International Mission board around Atlanta!

It was interesting to watch the Hindu service with the group. We had fun meeting some nice folks from Nepal who were visiting the Mandir (Hindu temple.)

This is their song sheet. It’s in Sanskrit!

An English version on the back.

The big festival honoring Ganesha had just completed.

It was fun to meet new friends who were opening up a 24 hour Spanish TV station in Atlanta. Groovy!

We had some pastries at the White Windmill. Beauty!

We also checked out Plaza Fiesta, CD Tower and the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

This tshirt was at Plaza Fiesta. Borracho means drunk.

I liked this big globe at the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

It was great to also have the team come and help us at the mission. We always need help!

Mohosana’s mom came to visit.

Admin jobs now.

Had a fun day with the family today!

Had a restful morning! Worked on a new podcast!

“Broadcast love, Personalize kindness!”

It’s a good one! Click on the title to listen!

Enjoyed delicious Chinese food with the whole family. I loved this peacock.

And this dragon!

Then Jesse and I cruised down to Chamblee to take care of some errands.

I got a stand for my iPhone/iPad. That’ll really help when I’m on the road.

Also checked out Barnes and Noble. J and I love the book store!

I liked this head picture. It was from the “science” of Phrenology–how the shape of your skull determines your personallity!

I liked these quotes! This one is by David Copperfield.


We dropped off some supplies at the mission at Azalea.

Then over to the First Baptist Doraville to check on the office and mail and leave a back up hard drive.

Home now. Just finished vacuuming the house and scrubbing a stain in the carpet. The joy of housework.

Admin duties now.

I liked this logo!

Never too much Pi!

Squashed bolt.

Do you think this is true?

This car is actually the territory of another country!

Had a great time preaching today at Westside BC in Snellville.

I particularly enjoyed listening to the piano. Wow! He could really wail on that thing!

This church has supported our ministry since the very beginning when we first got back from Madagascar in 1996! I liked seeing our newsletters!

We had a fun service.

I enjoyed the children’s service too. Although I always want them to stay in “big church” when I speak.

Baptists will get this inside joke.

Enjoyed a fun lunch with my girls.

Home to rest and work on admin duties. Not sure if any of you guys enjoy video games, but I’ve really had fun playing Uncharted. What an amazing game! Borneo, Nepal, Istanbul . . . incredible!

Jesse and I had a fun adventure today! He’s taking a sightseeing trip around the USA! I certainly remember those days.

We went to Amtrak to pick up his pass. It’s a cool building!


I remember when I first started traveling. It made me who I am today! I certainly wish him a bon voyage. I’m glad he’ll be back soon.

We also took a sight seeing trip to down town Atlanta, and to what seemed at times another universe!

I really enjoy sci fi and J went with me to scope out Dragon Con. I had such a fun time checking out all the aliens!

Get this reference?

Know where this car is from?

I had no idea that car burglars only went for dirty cars!

Fun day!

Came home to enjoy watching TV with Kathy and baby sit Kylie. It’s the first time she’d ever been left with another person but her Mom. She wasnt’ very happy about it, but soon was ok.

Looking forward to preaching at Eastside BC tomorrow!

This caterpillar stung J. Doesn’t it look like it’s from another planet too?

I liked the big green eyes.

Finished working on my financial report around midnight. Glad that’s done.

J and I delivered it to our Treasurer’s house this afternoon. Thick packet!

Ran 4 miles. Man, that full sun is tough.

J and I went to check out some book stores: our fun thing to do! I did more research on the section of India that we’re going to: the Tamil Nadu province. This temple is in the town where we’ll be staying.

It’s dedicated to Shiva and his wife Parvati.

J and I also like to visit Best Buy. This is a new Sony Camcorder. It actually projects an image of what was recorded. Groovy!

I love all this tech stuff!

Borders is closing. : ( Weird to see all the empty shelves.

Pretty high tech directions to the check out counter.

I bought this book.

Admin duties now and rest.

Sure do love hanging out with my son!

I love this quote by Thoreau. Also born on July 12th!

Liked this one too.

It was by the author of a book on Free Running. Although I’m sure the hospital bills must add up!

Beautiful sunset!
