Nearly 1/2″ of rain yesterday.

My friend John Maloney took down the crosses from outside FBC Doraville today. Take up your cross, or maybe two!

Ashley and I enjoyed giving our briefing on Buddhism this morning to our team from Moon Grove BC!

Then took them to CD Tower to see the Buddhist idols.

They always enjoy buying some of the beautiful things there!

Showed them Carneceria #1 where I bought the team some quesadilllas!

After lunch, we went to New Peachtree Apartments to work on striping the parking lot. Sure was glad we had nice weather today!

I helped figure out where the stripes would go.

Then to Highland Knoll to work with the kids. The children were SO happy we came by!

It got warm enough to actually go into Flip Flop Mode! I reckon you’ll be able to see the tan lines in a few months!

Ashley and I went by the church to make sure we have enough room in another room to give them our briefing in the morning. The fellowship hall will be used for a baby shower.

Home now to work on admin duties and edit video.

I stayed up late Wednesday night to work on a new podcast! Always fun!


I love this episode called “Happy Endings!”

Ashley and I enjoyed briefing our team this morning on Catholicism!

I had a meeting with two of my good friends, Joel Harrison and Tito Ruiz.

We discussed some possibilities of church planting. Fascinating!

Then met with my new team from Moon Grove Baptist Church in Colbert, GA. Briefed them on our area and then took them to the Farmer’s Market.

Ashley took our team from New Bethel over to Plaza Fiesta.

After the Farmers Market I led our team from Moon Grove to Highland Knoll and helped them round up the kids.

Then over to Azalea to meet up with our team from New Bethel.

Took one of their team members to Plaza Fiesta to exchange something they purchased as well as talking to a phone repairman who was working on Ashley’s iPhone. He fixed the screen but the on/off button is now not working. We’ll take it back over there tomorrow to see if he can get that squared away.

Had our final time with the group from New Bethel at one of our favorite restaurants Penang! It was delicious and fun to have our whole family together including Kathy, Jesse and Miles!

Came home to watch Psych and Elementary with Kathy and work on admin duties.

Ashley and I had a fun time briefing our team on Islam and Hinduism this morning.

We took them over to Madina to learn more about Islam and enjoy some Middle Eastern food.

Then to Global Mall to see the Hindu Temple there.

Our service project today was striping the parking lot at New Peachtree Apartmnents. They did an outstanding job!

Best part of the day was working with the kids at the mission.

Admin duties now. Enjoyed watching Duck Dynasty with K this evening.

Had a good time briefing my team from New Bethel church this morning. Ashley and I talked about Buddhism.

Then we took them to CD Tower to see the Buddhist idols.



They bought some beautiful art too!

Then over to Carneceria #1 to take a look at a typical Guatemalan grocery store.

Worked on cleaning up the mission at Azalea for their service project.

Once we got them started, I went out to Marietta to sign the new lease for our apartment at Columns on Bentley Manor.

I liked the flowers while I was there.

Got gas. Glad the prices have dropped!

Since I was in the area, I also went by my favorite antique store on the square.

I picked up this bust of Benjamin Franklin. It’s about 50 years old.

After Marietta, I went back to First Baptist Doraville to get a white board for Jesse. He needed it for studying programming.

Then to work with the kids at the mission.

They did a great job!

Came home to work on admin duties and spend time with K and J!

I liked this safety tag!

And the blooming white trees!

I got up early today to fill my hummingbird feeders and hang them out in anticipation of my little friends coming back!

Can you see the four types of feeders in this picture?

(Suet, thistle, sunflower/millet, sugar water!)

Put the DVDs from my shoot this Saturday in the mail!

I seem to have a booboo on my thumb. (At least I think that’s the medical term for it.) Can’t see anything, can you?

Jesse, Ashley and I had a fun lunch with Ian and Ruthie North—two of our favorite people! It’s “King” Ian’s 30th birthday today!

Groovy, baby!

Had a great time briefing our new team from New Bethel from Moultrie, GA!

Then took them on a tour of the Buford Highway Farmers Market. Always a hoot!

Best part of the day is always working with the kids at the mission.

They did a great job sharing with the kids.

My good friend Tabias came by to see me today. He’s like a son to me!

On our way home, Jesse and I stopped at the AT&T store. We modified our cell phone plan from unlimited data to 10 GB. That should save us about $50/month plus it makes our phones a mobile wifi hot spot if we need it for a different device. Groovy!

There was a parade of road working machinery outside of AT&T!

Home now to work on admin duties and spend time with K.

I love these baby azaleas!

Cheese and caramel?

He’s not dead. He is RISEN! Amen!!

About an 1/8″ or rain last night!

Finished up editing the video for Peachtree Corners Baptist Church.

Uploaded, burned DVDs and got them packaged up and ready to mail for Monday morning!

Kathy, Jesse and I went to Clarkston International Bible Church this morning.



Pastor Phil spoke on the resurrection and the importance of not being a doubting Thomas!

Kathy loves her little children!

Always cool to see gold, Sunday shoes!

We caught up with Ashley and Miles after the service. They’re looking great!

Miles got his new computer with the money back from the government!

GO, MILO!
Over to Madina for lunch. It’s always a treat for me because I get to speak Swahili! Groovy!

Home now to work on admin duties and rest before the teams start again tomorrow!

Mixed up sugar water for my hummingbirds! Looking forward to seeing my little friends soon!

I liked these decorations at church.

Dig the names!

Pretty little flowers!

This seemed a little odd to me. What’s HE got to repent?

Got up this morning and worked on getting my last DVD for the team from last week in the mail!


Also worked on posting to my Twitter feed. Over 84,000 followers can’t be wrong!

Then over to FBC Doraville to give a briefing to my team from Peachtree Corners Baptist Church—one of my BEST partners!

Ashley and I took them over to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Here I’m encouraging people to do partake of the Whirlwind Missions tradition of kissing the Frozen Pig for good luck!

Not everyone digs it.

Then to the missions at Azalea, Cumberland Court and Highland Knoll!

We gathered the people, tossed eggs, told the Easter story and threw out candy!

Finished the afternoon with a delicious Vietnamese lunch with my friends from PCBC. GREAT to hang out with them!

I’m posting my pictures from the event as I write this. I still need to edit the video I shot from this afternoon. The cycle starts again!

Looking forward to a wonderful Easter morning tomorrow. He’s not dead, He is RISEN!

Love you guys!

It sure has been a GOOD Friday! PTL!

I recorded one of my best podcasts ever today! In fact it’s called “Best Day EVER! Click on the title and ENJOY!!

I worked on editing the video that I shot for my three teams in town last week.

I have to edit, compress then upload it to YouTube.

Then I burn a DVD for them.

And put that into the mail with a thank you note!

I also email them with a list of the locations on line for their video that I shot as well as the pictures that Ashley and I put on line. Normally, that’s in the hundreds!!

It all takes a lot of time, but I think it’s worth it! It’s all about customer service, baby!

Ate lunch with my sweet K today. I thought she looked like an Easter egg in her pink and lime green!

came home to rest and get a 2.25 mile run in!

Sweet ol’ Sugar Dawg came with me!

Admin duties now.

Looking forward to the three big Easter Outreach Events we’re hosting tomorrow!

Easter flowers in bloom and bud!

I had a great morning today with my new friend Jonathan Long from Eagles Landing Baptist Church!

I shared with him about our ministry and took him around the International Village!

Went to Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Then to show him some of the missions where they’ll be working.

Had lunch at Plaza Fiesta! Always something cool to see.

Yeah, baby!

Said goodbye to Jono than over to Clarkston to catch up with my team from Strong Rock school. They worked with my sweet wife Kathy today in her ministry with Mommy and Me. Ashley was there too to add her awesome presence. I met with them at Madina where we had chai and enjoyed the talking about missions.

On my way home, I called my tire guys and asked them if they could figure out why my car was still pulling to the left. Goodyear charged me for an alignment which didn’t work at all.


Greg at East Stone Mountain Tire and Battery did a wonderful job! Turns out that all they had to do to fix the problem was put the rear tires onto the front! Runs like an arrow now. What a relief.

Then went back to Goodyear to tell them how they had messed up and that I was firing them. I said it nicely, but . . .

Got back to my house in anticipation of my tree guys cutting up the big tree that had fallen.

In a few years this will be dirt!

I decided that it was best to cut it up into small pieces called “coins” and put them in the hole that I’m trying to fill up. Two stones, one bird!

Admin duties now and rest. Today marks 33 days in a row without a day off! Yow!

Just in case you forgot. . .

Got up this morning and paid bills. Included paying off nearly $4,000 on our Visa card with the money I got back from the IRS.

Ashley and I had a wonderful final day with our team from Journey Church!

We gave our briefing on Buddhism.

Then went to CD Tower to look at the idols.

I liked this Buddha with blue hair.

I found these things odd.

I don’t fancy milking a donkey.

Got more supplies for our outreach this weekend with Peachtree Corners Baptist Church!

The kids worked on decorating more Bags of Love!

I went to Perimeter Mall to go to the Apple Store. Sadly, my iPhone 5 was having an on/off button problem. Got a new one today!

Best part of the day was working with the kids! GREAT weather today!

Came home to check on the guys who were supposed to be cutting up the tree that fell in my back yard. They didn’t get to it today. Tomorrow!

Admin duties now. Watched a funny film called “Trip” tonight with K. Love the Brits!

When you have difficulty taking the police seriously . . .

It’s not right to test fighting animals.

Azaleas are starting to bloom!
