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!

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!

Had nearly 3″ of rain in the last two days! That makes over 4″ this week!

This morning I met up with my team from Perimeter Church!

I took them on a tour of the Buford Highway Farmers Market, CD Tower and Plaza Fiesta. Fun!

The puppies are always popular!

I liked this cologne light bulb.

Then over to the mission at Azalea to give out some frozen treats!

The kids really enjoyed that!

Had a good prayer time with the kids and team.

Then off to Perimeter Mall. I needed to get a couple more batteries for my AR Drone. You only get about 15 minutes of flight time out of them.

Also got a new hat!

The one I got from Walmart was merely a stop gap until I was able to look around and get something better. The brim on the other hat was whack.

Admin duties now.

Looking forward to an event with Roswell United Methodist Church tomorrow.

Then the teams come on Monday!

This morning I had fun! I recorded a new podcast! This one is excellent, in my humble opinion. Check out “Zero Hour” Savor every second and listen to this!

Jesse, Kathy and I went by to check on our team from FBC Mountain Park at Azalea. They’re doing a wonderful job there.

Ate lunch at Perimeter Mall. Always see interesting things there.

Then a quick visit to Perimeter College to check on admittance regulations for Jesse. He’s thinking about taking some classes in the Fall.

Home to work on admin duties.

Drove through heavy rain near Stone Mountain. We’ve had 3 3/4″ of rain in the last three days. Groovy!

I kind of feel this way.

Last night I opened up my new AR Drone 2.0 from Parrot.com. That stands for Arial Reconnaissance.

They use these quad copters a lot in the military. GREAT to be able to have fun with them.

Ashley and I gave our briefing this morning! Group sang to me. Always groovy.

Great to have the whole family with me on my special day!

Then over to Plaza Fiesta! Always a wonderful place!

Ate a Pollo Norteno with the group from Florida.

Then over to the missions!

Sad to see them go!

Jesse and I practiced with the AR Drone in the church parking lot! Fun!


Enjoyed watching Wall E with K this evening.

Kathy loved the pig that Ashley bought me for my birthday. Me, too!

Ashley also bought me this skeleton dog from Guanajuato, Mexico. Love it!

The team from Emmanuel BC gave me this skull! A new favorite!

I liked these too!

Loved these big clouds.

Admin duties now.
