Enjoyed a delicious lunch with my family!


LOVE Ashley’s new dew!

Met up this afternoon with Ashley and our partners that came from Virginia Tech–always one of our BEST teams!

They did a wonderful job at Highland Knoll.

Also worked with our team from FBC Naples!

Even though it was a rainy day, they led a bunch of kids to Christ! Always wonderful to see that!

Ashley and I also helped the kids at the mission.







And Mohosana’s mom with a job application.

We were supposed to have a concert this evening at Pearl Lane. Had to change that because of all the rain. Should be nice again tomorrow.

Home now for admin duties.

I liked Jhoan’s shoes.

K and I met up with Ashley at Clarkston International Bible Church this morning.

Pastor Phil did a good job with the 8 ways to Go with God!

We ate lunch together, then A and I went to FBC Doraville to give our briefing to the team from FBC Naples, FL.

Ashley was outstanding!

Then we took the teams to Wynchase, Shallowford Gardens, Huntington Terraces, Cumberland Court and Azalea Place!

The whole team met up at Azalea Place to give a concert which included a stomp team, drums, drama and singing. They really did a wonderful job. I was really impressed and proud of them.




Ate a late dinner with Ashley then came home to work on admin duties.

Watched a couple episodes of Touch with Kathy and Jesse. Interesting show about how everything/everyone is connected. I believe that!

Had a long discussion with my partner Keith Harrell about a mission in Norcross where we’ve had work for years. The manager wants some changes and has asked me to implement them. There’s still work going on there and any change is hard for people to accept. Pray for that.

Paid bills. Ouch.

Vacuumed the house.

Went to lunch with Ashley and Miles, K and J! Always fun!

Picked up some vitamins. Yeah, baby!

Met them at the bank where we were depositing checks. Took her to the Shell station to fill up the “Red Pony.” Her little mustang.

Picked up my car.

Believe it or not it STILL pulls to the left. They don’t know why. They just say it does. They swear the alignment is perfect now. Bizarre and not happy times.

Had a meeting with the tree guys. They want $400 to cut that tree up and haul it off. Shocked me. I’ll keep looking around.

Went for a 2.5 mile run.

Walked part of it. My knees were hurting. Usually does that when I get back into running after a break.

This reminded me of me.

I saw these stickers and it reminded me of my ultra-runner brother Ian North. He ran 27 miles in his last race. WOW!

Resting now and working on admin duties.

Kathy said her jaw is hurting her. She want’s me to go get her some clove oil. We’ll see what happens. Picked up some meds for her.

I thought these clouds looked cool.


Haven’t seen this bumper sticker before!

New life in dead area. Thought of the missions.

I thought these flowers were beautiful!

Yeah, baby!

Errand day today!

The alignment in my car is off. Pulls to the left. Finally had a chance to take it to Goodyear. It was there for five hours. Just picked it up. Still pulls to the left. : ( It’s covered by their warranty, but one more thing to do doesn’t make me a happy camper.

Also called some tree companies. You may remember that I had a big tree fall in my back yard. I need someone to cut it up and clear it out of there. I could cut it with my chainsaw, but I’d still be stuck as to where to put this massive amount of wood. They’ll come by tomorrow to take a look and give me a price estimate.

Went to lunch with Jesse and Kathy today. Always good!

Called the hospital. They’re supposed to reimburse me some money. Over $1,000! So I’ve been following up with them. They tell me it’s supposed to be coming back to me soon. We’ll see.

Sugar and I went for a 2.61 mile run today.


I’m glad that the weather is getting better. I certainly need to exercise! Seems to me there’s a direct correlation between bad weather and tight pants!

Love these tulip trees. The cold hurt them. Sorry about that.

My Mom had a procedure done in Georgetown this morning. She did well. She’ll get results next week. Pray for her health and a good report from the doctors.

Good day, but I’m still frustrated about my car.

Enjoyed a fun lunch with my family! Excellent!

Did some great work with Ashley today! We did a recon on the missions where our team from FBC Naples, Florida will be working.

Talked with the managers and went around the route that the big bus will be taking to drop the teams off.

It’s important to make sure that the bus can make the turns.

They have a hard time with right turns in particular.

Went home to pick up Kathy. Then to Jonesboro to speak to the college and singles there at the Cafe at Main Street. Great group!

They never changed the sign.

Had fun sharing my African Prodigal Son story.

The group will be coming to work with us over the weekend soon!

Fun and productive day!

Admin duties now. K and I enjoyed watching Psych.

These doughnuts looked gross to me. Moldy green color. REally?

I liked this.

I saw this on the door going to a restroom today. Can’t say they didn’t warn me.

I remember when I was in high school when this was just in the low millions!

Worked on my 200th edition of Verbal Surgery this morning! In honor of that event, I recorded a short video!

It’s called “You WON!” I think you’ll have fun watching it. Just click on the video and WIN!

I edited and posted to YouTube and to my podcast servers. The YouTube video is in HD.

Picked up my wife’s meds. Need a healthy partner!

Enjoyed lunch with K, J and A!


Worked with my friend Josh today. He’s interested in neurology. I have fun showing him what language and the mind can accomplish.

Jesse, Josh and I went to Azalea to work with the kids. Always fun.

I told the story of Jacob and the ladder going up to heaven with the angels coming up and down. Then we had a prayer time together.

Came home to work on admin duties and rest.

Looking forward to Downton Abbey with K this evening. We start Season 2 this evening.

Kathy and I went to the doctor with Jesse today. Sure am glad that he’s feeling better!

He’s been looking into taking the SAT and starting to see about schools. Pray that everything will move smoothly with that!

Went to the office to check on correspondence. Working on details for the team coming in the weekend. Also sent a message to the folks arriving in April.

Looking forward to speaking at the Cafe on Main Street in Jonesboro on Thursday night. Took care of confirming that today.

Then over to the mission to help with the kids.

Really rained hard while we were there!

Beautiful sunset never the less!

One of my girls at the mission gave me this. Heart her too!

Home now to work on admin duties and enjoy watching Downton Abbey with K!

I thought this fish looked gross.

Flowers are beautiful!

Whenever a gentleman needs a haircut, he comes here.

I liked this card I saw at a bookstore today. It’s a quote from Dali.

Odd shaped branch/roots.

I saw this German license plate at the doctor’s office.

And this up to date magazine in the lobby!

Had a fun morning working on a new podcast!

Believe it or not it’s number #199! It’s been interesting to set a small goal like recording an hour a week and see the body of work that’s accumulated!

I really think this is one of my best efforts. I call it “Love Gloves!” Just click on the title and groove!

Finished editing the video I shot for 12 Stone. I’m really happy with the quality of the video that my new Canon shoots. It’s amazing that a camera that small can have that high a definition picture. Take a look!

Jesse, our friend Josh and I met Ashley at Azalea to work with the kids. Always fun!








Came home to work on admin duties.

Watched “The Debt” with Kathy. Interesting movie from Israel. We also had fun watching the Downton Abbey series on Netflix. I can see why everyone was raving about it. Good stuff!

Just when I thought I’d seen it all!

At 71 what happens?

Kathy and I arrived into McDonough last night.

I was glad to not have to worry about driving an hour early this morning! Our hotel was comfortable, but the lobby smelled like cat pee. That’s not zesty!

We got up early this morning and went to church to set up our display and prepare for the service.

I thought the building was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever preached in.



Charlie did a wonderful job with the music. He sung several of my favorite missions hymns.

Had a great time with an enthusiastic congregation. I’m sure I was the wildest thing they’d seen in a long time!

It was good to see my partner Matt Johns there. He preached at their West Campus.

Afterwards, we had a good lunch together with the mission committee. Always fun to spend more time with people who are interested in outreach.

Also great to see my friends Jeff and Julie! I went with them to India last year. Their kids look great too!

I’m trying to set up a weekend for them to come and see more about our ministry.

GREAT to be back home with Jesse!

Ashley and I had a wonderful time with our team from 12 Stone Church today!

We gave them a briefing on how to do block parties, then went to Olde Salem, Alexander Mill and Greens at Hillcrest to help them round up the kids.
This was our group that served at Greens at Hillcrest!



They started out the morning with service projects.

It was a cold day (41!) but lots of warm hearts.

Admin duties now. Then rest.

Early evening Kathy and I will drive to Mcdonough, GA to get ready for their missions conference early Sunday morning. It’s over an hour to get there. I’m always really uptight when I have to drive that far and then preach. So I decide to get a hotel near the church so I’ll be ready go at them full speed in the morning!
