Rained a little over an inch last night. That’s over 2″ in two days!

Add a new team today! Meadowgrove Baptist Church from Mississippi! Great to have them on board.

We covered four more locations bringing the total to 20 apartment complexes this week. Groovy!

Ashley and I gave our briefings. Today on Islam and Hinduism.

Love my group from Florida!

Plus the groovy cats from Mountain Park!

We visited Al Madina and Global Mall, the Shiva Mandir.

I always see something new!

Black Woman cologne.

We ate lunch at Ashiana’s: one of the best Indian food restaurants in Atlanta. And at $6.99 for a buffet that’s GREAT!

We got our new team onto their four locations.

Also went to a Chinese bookstore. I was looking for Chinese character dictionary. MAN! That looks like a hard language!

Enjoyed seeing some unusual objects there!


Never heard of this before?

This kind of grossed me out.

This doll kind of weirded me out.

Back to cover the teams at their locations. Always fun! The kids are such sweethearts!

It’s my birthday tomorrow and my birthday present arrived today! I might have mentioned that I got a AR Drone 2.0. It’s a quad copter (four propellors) that is controlled by your iPhone or iPad! How awesome is that!

It also has a hi def camera so you can shoot video! I think it’s going to be a LOT of fun!

Home now to work on admin duties and rest. And fly my chopper!

I liked this vanity plate.

Wonder if they could make a difference on my face?

The Circus is in Chamblee! I liked the camel.

I turn 54 tomorrow! Woot!

Ashley and I always have fun briefing the teams. Infotainment, with a purpose.

Great to see Emmanuel BC back and my long term friends at FBC Mountain Park.



Visited CD Tower today and the Buddhist idols. And other beautiful things.








Ate quesedillas at Carniceria #1.

Met up with my good friend Pastor Ben Lehman from Westside BC today!

His team is coming to work in the International Village a week from now. We went to the missions where his team will be hosting a basketball clinic.

Checked on the teams at the missions. They’re doing a really great job.

Looks like a big storm coming tonight. Last night we got 1″.

With the water comes the mushrooms.

Admin duties now.

A sign of the times.

I liked these cartoons.

Always something interesting to see!

Ashley and I enjoyed briefing our teams from Emmanuel Baptist Church from Crestview, FL, and FBC Mountain Park one of our local churches!

Both of these groups were here last year. PTL!

We always enjoy taking them around the International Village, the Buford Highway Farmer’s Market in particular!

Kissing the frozen pig head is a Whirlwind Missions tradition!

Drinks!

We loved eating Malaysian food with the Florida group!

Then to the missions! Always the best part of the day!

My Dad got some good results back from his test last week. PTL for that!

Time for rest and admin duties now!

Finished editing the video for the Bon Air Baptist Church team last night.

Jesse and I went to church together. Kathy rode her bike to Clarkston. She’s an amazing woman!

Pastor Phil Kitchin preached on gentleness. That means power under control. I certainly need more of that!

We met up with Ashley and Miles at church. We all enjoyed eating Texas style BBQ at Fox Brothers in Decatur. It was really good. But I think that Crazy Ron’s in Stone Mountain still edged them out!

Came home to rest. Felt good!

Admin duties now. Prep work for the three teams in town next week.

I liked this sign.

And this moth!

I just noticed it’s laying eggs. Cool.
Really?

It didn’t look like it worked.

This morning I took care of some errands. Did the grocery shopping. Somebody forgot this.

Walmart is already preparing for back to school!

went by the bank to authorize the new bank card for the ministry.

Got a board for the bed at Lowe’s. The mattress needed more support.

Came home to edit video for Bon Air BC. Got it edited and compressed. Working on burning a dvd now.

J and I went to see the Amazing Spiderman in 3d. We liked it! I thought it’s the best Spiderman ever! I also liked that there was a cameo of Stan Lee!

When I bought the tickets, the speaker was SUPER load. It literally hurt my ears to stand in front of it.

Working on admin duties now.

I liked this sign.

The sunlight through these clouds was amazing!

Kathy and I had a GREAT night last night! Jesse called us and said he was coming home! California is great, but having family around is great too!

He’s especially coming for my birthday next week and his cousin Katie’s wedding. We picked him up early this morning.

A great start with a beautiful sunrise!

Turned out to be a warm day!

I had fun recording a new podcast! “The Happy!” It’s one of my best! Check it out!

Kathy and I joined Ashley to check on the final day of our team from Bon Air BC, VA. This is has been one of my favorite teams this summer! Their church first worked with me back in 2000!

They’ll be missed.

Wonderful to hang out with both my girls!

Came home to rest and work on admin duties.

Also cleaned the fish tank.

Kathy and I enjoyed watching TV. We watched Killers with Ashton Kutcher, but didn’t really like it.

We do like this big corn at Huntington Creek.

Another warm day!

I enjoyed giving the team the briefing on Catholicism this morning. Ashley and I always have fun with that!

They seemed to enjoy it too!

Then over to Plaza Fiesta to experience that amazing Latino mall.

Who would wear these?

They should keep babies away from plastic.

I wonder what this smells like?

The Three Amigas!

I liked the boots!

Coyote standing watch!

Seems cheap for a whole country.

I liked this image.

I liked this skeleton dog.

Took care of mailing dvds to the youth directors we worked with last week.

Ashley and I developed the schedule for the three teams for next week and confirmed the locations with the apartment managers.

The team is doing a great job at the missions!

I was curious about her pie.

Never too much Ashley!

Came home to relax and do my admin duties.

I love this picture.

Rain yesterday! Amen!

Ashley and I were delighted to have Kathy and Miles along today!

We gave our briefing to the team from Bon Air. We shared about Islam and Hinduism.

Then led them to Al Madina to explore the N. African/Middle East flavor.

Global Mall was our next adventure with the Shiv Mandir.

The team was great with the kids at the missions.

Important to rest too!

Enjoyed having fun with my family!

I feel like this could be my motto.

Ashley and I did our usual bang up job with the briefings this morning.

Then took them to CD Tower where the Buddhist idols are.





Always interesting in the International Village.

Talk about a bad hair day.

Best part is the missions!

Judy, one of the group leaders, Ashley and I went to talk to Ken the manager of Panang Malaysian food. He worked out a great deal for them

We’re always shooting!

Admin duties now. Rest!

Hot again today!

Cute!

Doesn’t everyone need a Supernal Tortoise?

Antique cell phone!

I liked these drawings.

I liked this label. I’m Mr. Safe T.

Is that all?

Ashley and I had a fun time with the team from Bon Air Baptist Church, VA!


We always enjoy giving the briefing.

Then taking them to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

It’s a tradition to kiss the frozen pig head.

Of course working at the missions is always the best part.

I liked these two sisters.

While at Cumberland Court apartments I saw two Guatemalan ladies chatting. I went over to say hi to them and realized they weren’t speaking Spanish. I introduced myself and asked them what language they were speaking. They said, “Moom.” They told me that it’s and Indian tribal language spoken in the mountains of Guatemala and that there were 24 different languages in Guatemala! I was astonished by this! That’s one reason I love my job. I always see and hear things that I’ve never seen or heard before!

The team enjoyed Mexican food at Pollo Norteno. Delicioso!

Came home to rest and work on admin duties.

Kathy and I watched “Win, Win.” It was pretty good. Had Paul Giamato in it.
