There’s something about big numbers. Today my Chrysler Concorde went over 200,000 miles!

A special shout out to my friends Carl and Pat Barrington who gave that car to our family six years ago. What a blessing they have been to our family!

Ironically, another car they gave us, more than TEN years ago, finally died a peaceful death taking Ashley and Miles to an encampment in Tennessee to tell over 100 young people about Jesus. The Lumina was a trusted a valued vehicle to our family. She will be missed!

HOT day today!

Ashley and I did our briefings for our team from Alabama today!

Family Bible Church came back to work with us again this year. They’re doing a GREAT job!

We took them to the Buford Highway Farmers Market. Always fun.

The Whirlwind Missions tradition of kissing the frozen pig head!

Then over to the missions!

Then this evening we had our HOPE team from Westside Baptist Church in Snellville, GA come back to work with us in Chamblee. Pastor Ben Lehman is one of my favorites!

They did a great job and at least one of my Muslim kids accepted Christ as their personal savior! AMEN! I’ve been praying for her for years.

Got home about 10:30pm this evening. LONG day!

Great to have the family there!

Kathy and I had a fun time at Clarkston International Bible Church this morning.



Pastor Phil preached from 1 Cor 13 . . . .the love chapter. He did a great job!

This Saturday, I’ll be performing a wedding with Katie Mitchell and Tommy Stiffler and I’ll be preaching from that chapter too!

K and I went to lunch at the Kathmandu restaurant in Clarkston. We ate there about two years ago and didn’t like it. But today it was awesome! I talked to them about the changes. Apparently, there was a new owner and that made all the difference.

Working on getting the dvds that I edited and burned to disk to the teams from last week. I like to get that job done asap. That’s the final piece of work before I consider that team assignment complete.

I’ve enjoyed flying my chopper around the yard.

I liked this image. Reminded me of me and God.

Had a fun time briefing my team on Islam and Buddhism today.

Then toured Al Madina. It’s Ramadan now, so my Muslim friends are even more serious.

Visited the Shiv Mandir at Global Mall. There was a couple participating in a special Pooja, or prayer ceremony while we were there.

After lunch we went to the missions for the team’s final day. Sad to see them go. They’ve been an outstanding group!

Came home for an hour to rest, then went to Oak Forest apartments in Scottdale to work with my HOPE team from Westside Baptist Church. I love Pastor Ben Lehman. He’s such an intense guy! Reminds me of someone I know. ; )

Poured down rain and powerful lightning when we first got there. But after about 20 minutes it stopped raining and we were able to share with the families that had gathered there.

I felt like this sunset was a special gift from the Lord after the rain!

Home now working on admin duties. I edited the video I shot for the Colquitt team before I went to the mission at Oak Forest.

Looking forward to rest and church tomorrow.

I heard from Ashley. She and Miles had a great time with the kids at the camp and they were settled in for a rest at the hotel. Good to hear that! No matter how old she gets, she’s still my little girl. Love you, Ashley!

Never seen this before!

It’s been rainy. Means mushrooms. I saw these near the church. Never seen this type before.

I did my briefing on Buddhism this morning. Missed Ashley being there! She went to Tennessee with Miles to speak at a camp for kids. Sadly, the car had a problem, had to be towed back to Atlanta, and then she and Miles jumped in our other car and headed straight back out! Made a long day for her!

After my briefing I took them to CD Tower.

Then over to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Many team members followed the Whirlwind Missions tradition of kissing the frozen pig! I’m pretty sure he was smiling!


Always something interesting to see.

Had lunch with the Gateway team at Penang.

Then to check on the missions!

Came home to rest and work on admin duties. And edit video!

I liked this bumper sticker.

Rained last night. Got about 1/4″. Our power went out for about 30 minutes. That’s not zesty.

Edited the video for the Bridge Church!

Ashley and I did our “Take the Church, To the People” and “Logistics” briefings PLUS a briefing on Catholicism as it’s practiced in the International Village.

That’s because we had a new team from Colquitt County! FIVE churches near Moultrie in S. Georgia partnered together to bring a wonderful group.

We enjoyed Plaza Fiesta!

We had fun with the masks.

And hats!

And the horses!

Sparkly boots!

Pastor Ron lookin’ good!

There was even a camel!

And signs from Pancho Villa!

And some things too bizarre to understand.

I even got some new cologne. Eau de Toilette, actually. Never really liked that term. Always reminds me of the dog drinking out of the toilet. But I liked the smell!

And the name! Seems apropos.

Then on to the missions! Always fun to hang out with the teams.

Ash and I stopped by Office Depot to pick up some more card stock paper. We use them for response cards from our teams.

Feeling tired. Tomorrow starts another team! This one will be in the evening from 6-9pm. Makes for a long day! Pray for me!

Ashley and Miles are going to speak at a Youth Camp in Tennessee this weekend. They leave tomorrow morning and will be gone till Sunday night. They’ll be missed! Pray for their safe trip!

With the rain comes mushrooms! I love these tiny little shrooms.

I just read on the web that we had the hottest temperature ever recorded on the planet today! 121F in Marrakesh, Morocco. Yow! That’s hot even in the shade!

Our team from the Bridge worked with another ministry this morning, but we still had the team from Gateway! This has been a great team!

We enjoyed giving our briefings.

Then on to Al Madina. Sadly, no samosas to snack on. They had a gas problem in their kitchen. Abdul also told me that Ramadan starts this Friday. Didn’t realize that. It moves 10 days forward every year.

Also had an interesting time at the Shiv Mandir in Global Mall.

Then over to check on the kids at the missions. Last day for the Bridge team. They’ve been great too.

Gateway girls have rocked!

Need to edit video I shot this week.

We have a new team coming in tomorrow. Normally, teams start on Monday and go through Thursday. This week we have one team stopping on Wednesday and another starting on Thursday through Saturday.

PLUS we have a team working on Saturday and Monday through Thursday evenings! LOT of work going on right now for Jesus!

Powerful thunderstorms in the area!

This kid has style!

Here’s a short video with the new Drone!

?hd=1

Ashley and I always enjoy our briefings with the team. We shared about Buddhism today!

I like showing people new and unusual things.

Then over to CD Tower.

We ate lunch at Carneceria #1. Always fun and delicious quesadillas.

Then over to the missions! The best part of the day!

Home now for admin duties.

Summer is almost over. Just one more week of teams!

I liked these tiny mushrooms.

I thought the interview with Mark Edge and me turned out great! Check it out.
Free Talk Live interview with Mark Edge

Ashley and I always have fun briefing the teams!

The Bridge church is from Louisiana.

Gateway church is from South Carolina.

Enjoyed Buford Highway Farmers Market. Always something fun to see there.

The Whirlwind Missions tradition of kissing the frozen pig.

Then to Penang for Malaysian food. But the best part was the company! Always a blessing to see Ian and Ruthie North.

Then off to the missions!

Admin work now!

Just finished a radio interview with Mark Edge, one of the hosts of Free Talk Live. FTL is one of, if not the largest podcast on the internet. We had a great talk. He’s a fan of my show, so that always makes it easy. www.VerbalSurgery.com. If you haven’t listened to my podcasts, you’re really in for a treat.

I liked this sticker.

This morning I went to Roswell to work with one of my favorite churches: Roswell United Methodist! They had a good team show up to the event at Frazier Street Apartments.

We got all set up to hand out Popsicles, some invitations to a new church plant and some tracts in Spanish.

Then it started to drizzle. A few minutes later it absolutely POURED down rain! Wow!

We stayed for about 20 minutes and I made the decision to reschedule. Even if it did clear up, no one would come outside, it was just too wet.

We had a good prayer time and then left to come again another day.

Went by the Roswell Street Antique store. It’s a favorite of mine. I think Roswell is a pretty cool city. I always see something different!

I love this quote by Marilyn Monroe.

I got a Phrenology skull and another chain for my necklace. Groovy!

Stopped briefly at the Roswell Cemetery. It has some old headstones there.


The oldest was 1890s. I thought some of them were beautiful.

I liked this mushroom.

Came home to work on admin duties.

Looking forward to spending some time with Ashley and Miles this evening. They’re having a little birthday party for me.

Flying the AR Drone!
Flying!
