We had fun briefing the teams this morning!

We are decorating the fellowship hall for our Team Time in the mornings. It’s been fun. And a lot of work.

I fired up the Amazing Whirlwind Simulator this morning. It looked cool!

Enjoyed taking them to Asian Square. We visited Sweet Hut, Hoa Da–traditional medicine store and CD Tower.

After a quick lunch, the team went to the missions. Ash and I checked on them and took pictures/video.

The wifi at the missions isn’t working. Had to talk to their tech support. They’re sending a guy over tomorrow.

Went back to Walmart to pick up a few things that the other Walmart was missing.

The things I’ve ordered have started to come in. We got the bubble kit and the projector screen today. When I got home the projector had arrived

I’ve also decided to start displaying items from my museum. Why should I be the only one to enjoy them?

Admin duties now!

Burned the dvd from the video of FBC Cheraw that I edited late last night. Always great when I get that in the mail.

I gave the briefing solo today. Ash worked with the group from Arkansas.

I enjoy this group a lot. They’re super fun.

Went on Safari to the Buford Highway Farmers market with the team. Always a hoot.

Then to the missions!

They’ve done a wonderful job.

Between assignments, Ashley and I gathered material for our presentations during our Team Time.

We also cleaned out or storage closet and organized our stuff for the briefing.

Ashley did a fantastic job!! Before.

After!!

I spent a lot of my time cleaning, painting and refurbishing the Whirlwind Simulator! Jesse and I worked on it together. It’s one of our finest productions.

I’ve also been doing research on getting the record for making the World’s Largest Bubble. J and I are taking existing technology and scaling it way up to see what the results might be. Very exciting! The current record is 105 cu. ft. That’s about the size of half a bus!

We want to launch them off the top of Stone Mountain! Yeah, baby!

I also went to Walmart to get some the the tools I’ll need. Hammer, pie plate, measuring cup, tongs, light and bulb. I went to a gas station near my office at FBC Doraville and got dry ice. I’m really looking forward to firing it up.

Always fun shopping with Ashley!

Admin duties now. I didn’t get home till after 9pm. Yow!

I edited video and burned a dvd this morning for my team from S. Carolina this morning.

I enjoyed briefing the team from FBC Cabot, AR!

I missed having my partner, Ashley there to help me! She covered our team from Mississisppi! This reminds me of her.

Then took them to Plaza Fiesta. What a great place!

Fun working with the kids at the missions!

Ashley and I are working on how we use the Fellowship Hall at FBC Doraville. We have some fun new ideas we’re looking forward on trying. I cleaned off some of my old display stuff. Missing some pieces which aggravates me. Not everything got back to our house after the fire in 2008.

Admin duties now.

Edited, compressed and uploaded the video I shot with the Gateway team. I think it’s pretty good.

After the video is uploaded, I send an email to the team leader which includes the URL of photo and video galleries.

Ash and I had a fun time briefing our teams this morning. We met in the Georgia room.

We dressed a couple of people up in traditional Islamic clothing. I thought it was an interesting effect.

I enjoy hanging out with the teams.

Great group!

Rode the bus with them to Global Mall. We attended a part of the Durga Ceremony at the Shiv Mandir. Interesting.

Families having fun!

Ate Malaysian food at Penang with the team. Tasty!


Kids did a great job at the missions!

I love working with families!


I’m glad Miles and Moogs came to help us.

Admin duties now.

Ashley and I had fun briefing the folks from FBC Hattiesburg, MS! Team Time with Tim!

I need to get more energetic.

Took them to the Buford Highway Farmers Market. Our favorite!

Always something fun and different to see!

Kissing the frozen pig head.

It’s a great place to eat as well.

Then to the missions! It’s always a little more stressful when we have a big bus in town. But our planned route worked out great!

The kids always love having “the Teams” in town!

We had powerful thunderstorms in the area.

Admin duties now. Still have videos to edit. Always something!

Tell me what you REALLY think.

We had over 2″ of rain during that last big thunderstorm.

Worked on burning dvds and uploading team movies to YouTube. Put the disks in the mail.



Met up with Ashley at FBC Doraville.

Went to Penang to meet up with the folks from FBC Gateway.

Then to the missions to work with the kids!

We shot more pictures and video of the teams. I’ll edit that video soon.

Got gas on the way home.

Admin duties now.

I talked with my Mom tonight! She said that Dad had been brought home from the hospital. What an answer to prayer!!

I’m getting a video projector to enhance our presentations. I thinking of some fun ways to add to the experience that we provide. I got out our whirlwind simulator and cleaned it off this evening. I’m looking forward to getting that working again.

Also thinking about some ideas with bubbles. That’s been a fun part of our presentation. I did research on the best bubble formulas out there. Looks like it could be a lot of fun! Only thing better than a bubble is a whole LOT of bubbles. Or maybe one really BIG BIG Bubble!

Ash and I had fun briefing the teams on Catholicism!

We had our commitment time at the end where we pass a baton along to the next person who responds, “He’s counting on ME.” I think it’s a special time for everyone.

The team then signed the Landing Pad.

Pictures with the Sublime Blue Mariachi Hat!

Enjoyed taking the teams to Plaza Fiesta! Always a hoot!

Then to the missions! We had severe storms in the Metro Atlanta area last night. Blew down power lines. Some of the kids said they didn’t have power.



We said goodbye to our team from Colquitt County. Great crew!

I love working with Ashley!

Admin duties now at home.

This may be too much. Breast Cancer dump truck?

Ash and I enjoyed briefing our teams on Islam and Hinduism today! We talked to them about Jesus’ landing pad a new Whirlwind Mission Tradition! All the teams will sign it before they leave. Explored al Madina! And the Shiv Mandir Hindu Temple at Global Mall! Also enjoyed delicious Indian food at Ashiana with our team from Cheraw BC, SC.
Ash and I worked on the logistics for the teams coming next week. Good thing we did as one group had failed to tell us that they were not coming!

It’s a lot of work to figure it out, then tell the managers and the other missionaries. All takes time for sure! Enjoyed visiting the sites and checking on the teams. POWERFUL thunderstorms on the way home. I actually heard the arc of lightning today BEFORE I saw the flash. I’d never experienced that before. The lightning struck about 100 ft from me! Admin duties now. Here’s the schedule for Ramadan. Who gets $5.00 worth of gas? Really?

Ashley and I had fun briefing our teams on Buddhism this morning!

Then off to explore Asian Square!

Had lunch at Royal China with our team from Cheraw BC in S. Carolina! Fun group!


Never too much Ashley!

Ash and I went to Lowes to pick up a tarp and some duct tape. I got the idea of a landing spot for Jesus when He returns!

We’ll have all the teams sign it as they leave.

Then went to the missions to check on the teams.

Admin work now.

Our mushrooms continue to grow.
