J, K and I enjoyed church today at Clarkston International Bible Church.


Pastor Phil talked about dealing with poverty.

We ate with Ashley and Miles for lunch. Always fun.

Kathy saw some of her friends at church.

Came home to rest. Needed it.

Worked on a new podcast!

I love this one! It’s called Border LION! It’s about where we place the borders in our lives and how to cross them into new ways of living victoriously!

Flew my chopper around the yard for a bit.

Went to go visit my dear friends Jon and Linda Paul in the hospital. Linda is doing better. Keep praying for her.

Had fun watching TV with Kathy this evening.

Had a fun day exercising!

Ran 6.38 miles, which is longer than I’ve run in years. And felt GREAT!

I know that a lot of that is thanks to losing nearly 20 pounds.

I enjoyed listening to the new Toby Mac album “Eye on It” while I ran.

It was beautiful outside. I loved the flowers!

And the trees!

And these con trails. Interesting how they spread out to cover the sky.

After running and cooling down, J and I went to eat lunch. Always fun hanging out with him.

Then we went to Walmart to get the grocery shopping done. I liked this kid’s toy.

Also took care of some banking jobs.

Came home to rest, then flew my chopper for a while.

Admin duties now. Looking forward to spending more time with them family.

Did some research on pain centers in Atlanta. Sent some of them an email about my willingness to do a Pain Control seminar. We’ll see what they say.

K and I had fun biking 7.49 miles to Stone Mountain today!

It was a beautiful day, but really windy!

Jesse met us at the Bird Sanctuary and then we all rode over to Crazy Ron’s for BBQ. My favorite!

Came home to rest and enjoyed playing some video games.

K and I went to see Dredd this evening.

She ended up watching Nemo. Definitely NOT a chick movie! I liked it. Cool special effects.

After we got out of the movie, we got a call from a neighbor that they had found Sugar! Crazy dog keeps getting out of the back yard. I’m still not sure how she’s doing it. Glad she’s home.

K and I watched the end of our French movie “Afternoons with Margarette” tonight. Very sweet ending.

Fun day!

I loved this azalea!

And these caladiums.

This morning I worked on admin duties.

I enjoyed lunch with Kathy then went to talk with retirement homes and physical therapy centers about a seminar I’m doing on pain control.

I’ve been blessed with language skills. When I use these skills in certain ways, the brain reframes perception. Hypnosis is like telling a story that takes you to a different place. After you’ve been there, even if the story is in a book, you never see the world in quite the same way. It’s amazing to me that just by talking you can give people real relief.

I look forward to doing some free seminars soon. Over time I hope to be able to generate more income for my family.

Enjoyed working with the kids this afternoon at the mission. Always fun!

I liked Sanjida’s hand.

I thought the lovely brown skin and red fingernail paint looked beautiful.

Went shopping with Ashley and Jesse at the Farmer’s Market for Ashley’s Halloween party on Friday night.

Is that a jumbo pumpkin or what?

It always amazes me just how creative Ashley is. WOW! What a daughter!


She came to my house to pick up Halloween decorations. Skulls, brains and skeletons are a daily decoration for me! I LOVE anatomy and neurology!

Enjoyed a delightful dinner with Miles, Ashley and Jesse at Ashley’s house. Kathy wasn’t there, she was enjoying riding her bike at Stone Mountain.

K and I watched part of a film in French this evening. In English it’s called “My Afternoons with Margarette.” In French the title is “A Fresh Head.” It’s about a gardener who starts to learn to read again. I love listening to other languages.

Admin duties now.

Worked on a new video for the www.VerbalSurgery.com website. This one is about Losing Weight! I think it’ll be popular!

Also worked on a podcast! Heart WARMING! Want to be loved? GIVE LOVE! The more you warm other’s hearts, the more you warm your own!

Here’s my recording studio!


It’s a good one. Just click on the title!

Got some good exercise!

Biked 6.39 miles and ran 5.48 miles. I like my new RunKeeper app on my iPhone! Talk about exact! It also shows how many calories I burned (nearly 1,000) and how fast each went.

It’s a beautiful run.

I liked these mushrooms.

And this hibiscus.

Flowers!

Past Lake Lucerne.

And the Yellow River.

I liked this little pine tree growing out of a stump.

That’ll preach!

The trees are beginning to turn colors. Beauty!

Got a quick sandwich and paid for my car repair. I was expecting around $150. Turned out to be a little over $400. Ouch.

Went to the mission to work with the kids. Always fun.

I especially enjoyed working with Diego. It’s cute to watch the little one begin to read and write.

Had supper with Jesse. Always groovy!

Then came home to spend time with K and work on admin duties.

Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

This morning I worked on some flyers for a Pain Control seminar I’ll be doing at some local retirement homes. I have a special place in my heart for helping Seniors!

Took the financial report over to my treasurer’s house. THANKS to Ashley for generating that!

Went for lunch with Ashley and Jesse!

Then over to Perimeter Mall to look for some equipment for Ashley’s Mac. We got our money back but have to order the cable on line.

Ashley brought me my new iPhone 5 today! Went to the ATT store to get my new phone activated as well as change my old iPhone 4S into Miles’ account/phone number. GROOVY! I love my new phone!

Jerome did a great job setting it up!


Helped the kids at the mission today. They’re testing, so there’s not a whole lot of work going on.

K brought Sugar to the mission. The kids love her!

Picked up my car on the way home. It was leaking antifreeze out of the reservoir tank. If it’s going to leak, that’s the best place! Also had the dome light repaired. It was a hassle in the dark.

Back home now to work on admin duties and to sync up my new phone with all the applications it had on it.

Good day!

I like the sound of this!

We had a fun day yesterday with the whole family! We went to Marietta to check out the coin show! I bought a few old coins for $10. Over 2,000 years old!

Went for Brazilian for lunch. I love that place! But my stomach didn’t. Had bad cramping for the rest of the day and evening. Bahd luck.

Went to the mall to pick up some new pants for Jesse. He’s looking good!

Rested in Chamblee before going to Roswell for a family get together for Chili. Not exactly what the doctor ordered for my sickish stomach! I felt fine today!

Enjoyed a fun morning today with my new friend Richard. We talked about neurology and hypnosis.

Went to the mission this afternoon to work with the kids. They didn’t have much homework because they’re testing. We gave a couple of our older kids some new computers. They loved them!

Got home and went on a 5 mile run. Felt good in the cool air.

Had fun watching TV with K this evening.

This has been a fun and productive Friday!

I worked on a new podcast this morning.

Check out “Shine!” You’ll feel enlightened!

As I may have mentioned, I’m quite popular on social media. I have over 80,000 followers on Twitter!

Every week I practice some creative writing and then I post it on an automated server that spreads it out over 5 times a day. Today I posted up until mid December! So I’m pretty far ahead!

Went to eat Greek food with K and J. Delicious Greek salad for me!

Then I took Kathy’s bike over to the bike shop to work on her brakes.

Our neighborhood is WAY to hilly to go without excellent brakes! They got it done while I waited.

Came home to do some more writing. Love being creative! Added some more material to the www.VerbalSurgery.com site.

Worked out on weights this afternoon. I feel pumped up!

I heard back from Ian today. He ran over 16 miles! I think that’s amazing. He’s a Tiger Tank!

Working on admin duties now. Yeah, baby!

Had a restful morning today!

Then ran and biked for about 2 1/2 hours! Biked about 6.5 miles and then ran another 6.2 miles. Yow!

After running, I weighed in at my goal weight of 168 lbs. Groovy, baby! I’ll be losing a bit more than that still just to make sure I stay under that level. I’m looking forward to doing my blood work again to verify that everything in my body is back in order. ; )

It was a new trail I worked up. Beautiful!

I liked this lion.

And these flowers!

And this squashed snake.

Ate lunch with J and K at Zaxbys.

Ian North came over for some coaching time with me. We worked on some visualization techniques for his big race tomorrow. He’ll be going 31 miles! I’m proud of him.

Enjoyed watching Memorial Day with Kathy this evening.

Admin duties now.

This reminded me of me.

Had a wonderful time at Providence Christian Academy today with Ashley!

We spoke at the Ethics, Missions & Evangelism class of our dear friend Dr. Carl Barrington!


Had some terrific students.

Ashley and I brought our A game!

Went to the church to check on office duties and take a short rest before going to the mission to help the kids.

They’re doing a lot of testing now so not really much homework. They’re happy about that!


Came home with Jesse to spend the weekend with us. Always good!

Enjoyed family time this evening.

Worked on admin duties including deleting hundreds of pictures and videos off my iPhone that were taking up way too much room. I have duplicates that I shot with my Canon.

Looking forward to spending some time with Ian North tomorrow.
