Had a fun day with my partners Rob Martin and John Ball.

Also great to have Pastor Bill Kelly with us!

Always fun to have Jesse around!

I showed them around the property at FBC Doraville.

We’re planning on hosting about 100 people there. We took a look at SS Class rooms and how many people could sleep there.

Enjoyed going to the book store with Jesse.

Then over to the mission to help the kids. Always wonderful to see Ashley and Miles!

We started English as Second Language classes this evening. Glad to be able to start that.

Admin duties now.

Enjoying a restful day!

Edited the video of Jesse skydiving. It’s processing as I write this. It’s on frame 28,278 right now.

Had lunch with Jesse, Ashley and Miles. ALWAYS great to see them!

Creative writing and posting to my twitter feed. I post 5 one liners every day. Adds up over time. There are more than 6,000 on line.

Spent some time looking through my car for Kathy’s phone. Happily she found it in her van. We all need comms!

Kathy rode back to Clarkston today! She’s an amazing woman. I thought that 11 miles was pretty long yesterday.

Admin duties now.

Jesse, Kathy and I went to Clarkston International Bible Church this morning.




Music was excellent!

Always great to hear Pastor Phil!

Ate lunch with Jesse, then K and I biked from Clarkston back to our house in Lilburn.

That was a ride!


Such a beautiful trail.

And Stone Mountain! Beauty!

I don’t think they should let these guys drive.

Enjoyed watching TV with K this evening.

Admin duties.

I liked this little box I found.

And these twisty vines.

I like lichens.

Our family had fun today watching Jesse jump out of an airplane!

It was interesting learning how to skydive.

J wasn’t scared at all, that I could tell!

A lot of military personnel train at the Thomaston airport. I thought their stickers were cool.

And for Mom!

A lot of equipment to put on.

Proof!

I’ll post the video I shot soon.

We ate lunch in Barnesville on the way home.

I thought it was a beautiful little town with lots of interesting old buildings.

I liked this sign.

Don’t think I’d walk out on this.

Enjoying a restful evening!

Jesse, Kathy and I went to a display of how the Bible has evolved. Pretty cool!

I liked this piece of the Dead Seas Scrolls.

And this working replica of the Gutenberg Press.

Fascinating.

Also liked this Bible cover by one of my favorites: Salvadore Dali.

Here’s a copy of the original King James Bible from 1613.

I made some block prints from old Bible pictures.

Interesting images in the some of the Bible stories.

I hand wrote a section of the Bible to be given out later to persecuted churches.

Had a delicious lunch of Vietnamese Sandwiches.

Food meets art.

Does one make you go and the other make you stop?

I liked the inlaid art.

We also went to Plaza Fiesta to get Jesse’s iPhone fixed. His case had cracked. They got another case and put it back good as new!

And enjoyed a quiet evening with Kathy watching “Love Actually.” Cute movie.

I love these cirrus undulatus clouds.

Like sand on the sea shore.

As above, so below.

Some people need more instructions than others.

Beautiful sky this evening.

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!
