Recorded one of my best podcasts ever this morning.

This is what I look like when I’m recording.

Check out “Firehose of Positivity!” I guarantee you’ll feel GOOD! Now!

Fun lunch with Jesse.

Then over to Marietta to pick up 20 chairs from my partner Tim Hutchinson at Suburban Rentals.

He’s always so generous to us!

He has provided the chairs for at least a dozen missions and at least four church plants. Groovy, baby!

Suburban Rentals has everything for your party needs. They’ve let us use one of their moon walks many times.
They’re great!

Then to Azalea to meet up with Ashley and Miles and work with the kids.

Always fun.

Enjoyed watching “Hanna” on dvd. More my kind of movie than Kathy’s, that’s fer sure.

Admin duties now.

Worked on creative writing this morning.

I love coming up with proverbs.

Here are some of them:

“Wonder! It’s a mind builder.”
“Don’t worry if you can do something about it.”
“Kindness is its own reward.”
“Be your own think tank.”
“Instruction is better than pointing and yelling.”
“Placement is more important than replacement.”

Over the last couple of years I’ve written over 6,000 of these proverbs.

These are posted on Twitter. I have over 82,000 followers.

Had a fun lunch with Jesse. He’s such a blessing.

Did I mention he’s scheduled to go skydiving this Saturday?

We met up with Miles and Ashley at Azalea.

Always good to see the kids.

Enjoying a peaceful evening.

After I finish my admin duties.

Had a good 2.5 mi run this morning. Felt good! Very mild.

Recorded a new podcast! Always fun. “Hero Factory” Click on the title to give it a listen!

Enjoyed lunch with Miles and Jesse!

Over to Clarkston to pick up Kathy and Ashley at her house.

Then to Azalea to help the kids with their homework.

I liked Jocelyn’s art.

I brought 2 bags of bones from Texas to show the kids.

Johan helped me put them together. He thought it looked like his mohawk.

I brought a couple of bags of bones from animals that I’d found in Texas.

These are from a jack rabbit . . . I think.

Kind of drizzly on the way home.

Admin work then TV with K!

Had a fun lunch with my partner Trey Jarrard! He’s been in Dallas the last couple of years going to seminary.

I was glad to talk with him about long term goals and career path options.

I liked his truck!

Had a good 2.25 mile walk. Beautiful.

And so warm!

I saw this chopper hovering in one spot for about 10 minutes. I figured maybe they were looking for someone.

Did the grocery shopping.

Picked up Ashley and Miles and went to Azalea to help the kids.

I let people borrow our chairs and tables. Sadly, I had 5 chairs and a table disappear over the Christmas break.

My friends at Perimeter church gave me over 200 chairs. I outfitted several missions, a couple of church starts and one of the centers with those chairs and kept 40. Over the last two years that number has dwindled down to 16 which was my number for today. So many of the kids just stood up at the tables and did homework. They didn’t seem uptight about it!

Admin duties now. Got a head ache. Bahd luck.

I liked the sound of this!

Had a fun morning!

My family and I went to Rockbridge Baptist Church which is the home church for Whirlwind Missions, Inc.

We had a terrific commissioning service for Glenda Price, one of our new North American Mission Board missionaries.

My partners Keith and Cornelia Harrell were also there. Glenda works at Keith’s mission in Norcross.

Went great!

Sure are some sweet folks at RBC!

The Pastors invited me to speak! Always love doing that!

I shot video of it the presentation.

Enjoyed Thai food for lunch. Yum!


Resting now!

Had a fun lunch with all my family!

Then Miles, Ashley and Jesse and I went to the High Museum to see the special exhibit on Picasso and Warhol.


Actually there were 14 current masters on display. Some of my favorites were there. Including Matisse.

I saw many of these paintings at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in NYC.

Picasso’s art pops!



Mondrian.

I also saw his work in the Stedelyjk Museum in Amsterdam. He’s Dutch.

Calder. (Did you know he invented the mobile?)

And of course Andy!


Good times!

I love the big buildings downtown!

Had a fun day today!

Had BBQ with Kathy and Jesse at our favorite place: Crazy Ron’s. It’s in the city of Stone Mountain and a great place to eat.

It looks like a train engine.

Delicious!

Decided to go to an antique place in Stone Mountain. It used to be the Post Office.

I liked this indian.

And this ventriloquist’s doll.

Love these cirrus clouds.

Climbed Stone Mountain!

Glad I didn’t need this.

Or this one!

Talk about shallow root structure!

‘
From the top!

And just in case climbing Stone Mountain isn’t hard enough, put on a vest and fill it with weights!

Could have been me.

One of my favorite mysteries! This ancient inscription on Stone Mountain written in a forgotten Indian language!

Enjoyed hanging out with Kathy this evening. We watched Mr. Popper’s Penguins. Cute.

Worked on admin duties this morning.

Went for a brisk 1 mile walk before eating lunch with Jesse.


Picked up some new calendars from Perimeter Mall. I always get the Weather calendar.

J and I met Ashley and Miles at Azalea to help the kids.

The Treasurer of our Board, Jon Paul, gave us a bunch of blankets and coats for the folks who live at Azalea.

They sure were happy about that!

Also went over to Concept 21–Corners to sign the new lease for the mission apartment.

Going through my email and putting away paperwork.

Looking forward chilling out!

Can you see Venus?

Still adjusting to the fact that Ashley is a married woman now. Talked to Geico to see what, if any, changes needed to be made. Looks like it’s fine like it is, I just had to change the address for where the car is located.

Had a fun day at the mission today!



Great to have Miles, Ashley and Jesse helping!

Email and admin duties await . . .

I liked this raptor that was in the tree outside the mission.

I like the concept of the sun “growing roots.”

Cold day!


Don’t think the hummingbirds will be drinking from this!

Woodpeckers love suet. I smear it on the tree.

Worked on some admin tasks this morning.

Wrote up my mileage log.

Contacted our director for ESL about some classes starting on the 10th.

Coordinated a drop of Christmas toys and candy at FBC Doraville.

Got some exercise at the Quarry as Stone Mountain. Very few people ever go up that side.

Watched True Grit with Kathy this evening. My favorite movie from Christmas 2010.

More admin duties!

Looking forward to working with the kids tomorrow at the mission.
