Is was a good movie. Little long. I liked the first one the best, then this one. Didn’t like the ending of the last one.

I liked this stuff from Zaxbys where we ate.

My favorite building: The Chrysler building in New York. It was in a design on one of the booth cushions.

Never too many monkeys riding elephants.

I thought this target looked cool.
t

Came home to play with my chopper. Took a dive and bent one of the rotor pins. Pretty much the whole helicopter can be rebuilt. Glad I have J to help me.

Took a quick dip in the pool before greeting my friends from Westside Baptist Church. We had planned on working at Shallowford Gardens, but at the last minute I changed the location and moved us to Cumberland Court. Turned out to be a good plan as 19 people came to the Lord!

200,000! RIP! Family Church! HOPE!

Tim A. Cummins @ 12:15 am  

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!

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

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.
k
f

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.

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.

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.
