Nearly 2.5″ of rain yesterday. Excellent!

Had a fun morning working on a new podcast!

I always enjoy talking to myself!

This is one of my best efforts. It’s called“INpossible!” Click on the title and find out where the future is headed!

I also spent some time posting my creative writing onto my Twitter feed. I have over 84,000 followers.

Jesse told me this morning that I have posted over 8,000 of my proverbs! WOW! I’m a prolific piece of business!

K and I had lunch together. I always enjoy that.

Got gas in my car. Prices seem to be creeping up.

Went to the mission with Ashley and Jesse. No real homework, but still good to hang out with the kids.

Jesse worked with Rashawn on computer stuff.

Cooked hotdogs for the kids.

Also stopped by Walmart to pick up a ream of paper for my friends at the office at FBC Doraville. They helped us with a project recently.

Home now to work on admin duties.

I thought this truck was super long!

This was an interesting warning sticker.

Terrific thunder storms in our area last night. We had over 2.5″ of rain. Still raining!

Kathy and I had a good time at CIBC this morning.

Pastor Phil was with his family at his daughter’s graduation. Music was good and Kevin spoke about hope from Titus.

We ate at Piccadilly then came home.

Enjoyed talking to J this afternoon. Then had a nice rest.

Admin duties now.

Ashley and I had a great time hosting our team from Redeemer Church in Cumming, GA!

It was great to have this team with us!



We gave them a briefing on how to round up the kids.

Then took them over to the Buford Highway Farmers Market to see the world and then eat lunch!

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

Started to sprinkle just as we were preparing to leave.

Home now to work on admin duties, post pictures and edit the video that I shot.

Had a fun time with Kathy and Jesse at Crazy Ron’s BBQ for lunch!

J and I worked on our mushroom project today. He bought spores for us to put into dead trees to grow mushrooms.


Today we drilled holes into the logs. We’re probably also going to drill holes into a tree that’s still standing.Then we hammer in the little dowels with the mycelium in them into the holes.

There were already some tiny mushrooms growing.

J and I also went to see the new Star Trek movie “Into Darkness.”

It was GREAT! I thought it was one of the best of the series.

Went to T&G to pay for car repairs for the Ashley’s Mustang and Jesse’s Expedition. Trying to keep these old cars running isn’t cheap. The Mustang repairs were over $800.

Home now to work on admin duties.

Looking forward to an Outreach Event tomorrow with Redeemer church!

Had a fun lunch with my partner Matt Johns and Ashley today!

We talked about work and the future of ministry in the area.

Ash and I hammered out the details of the teams coming into town. One week we have over 200 serving in our area. Takes time to figure out the logistics of that many people!

Rode up to Sandy Springs to check on some mission locations in that area.

Then to the mission to help the kids.

Not much going on. Five more days till school is out for our kids! They’re fired up about that! Most enjoy playing the video games.

They don’t want to leave!

Came home through terrible traffic. Sure made my leg tired stomping on the brake.

Admin duties now. Jesse is feeling really sad. Pray for him.

I thought these flowers were gorgeous!

Had fun working on a new podcast this morning!

Love this one! Check out “Life Sentence!” We only have a certain amount of time on this wonderful planet. Live it with love!

Enjoyed eating lunch with Jesse today.

Went by my mechanics to check on Ashley’s Mustang. Needed some work done it dealing with steering issues.

After a short rest, went on to the mission to help the kids with their homework. I was surprisingly busy.

Pray for Ashley. She’s better, but still recovering.

Did some shopping at Walmart for groceries.

Gassed up the car.

Then back home to work on admin duties.

Cleaned up around the house and swept the area outside my door.

Had a fun lunch with Jesse today. We enjoyed catching up.

Went shopping at Walmart for some house hold supplies. Bought K some new eyeliner. Also bought me some new shorts. And some new pillowcases.


We went to Azalea to help the kids with their homework. Not much going on, but we still kept busy!

Came home to enjoy watching the Mentalist and Elementary with K. Two of my favorite shows!

Ashley isn’t feeling well. J seems to be getting better, still not 100%.

Flowers in the field by our house are beautiful.

Just got back from my vacation in New York! I really had a wonderful time, although I’m tired out! In four days I walked over 52 miles! YOW!
The hostel I stayed out was in a good location, but I never really slept well.

I toured a lot of my favorite things! These included the Museum of Modern Art, the 9/11 memorial, the Guggenheim, the Empire State Building (all the way to the 102nd floor!), St. Patrick and St. Bartholomew’s Cathedrals, Grand Central Terminal, the NY Public library, Rockefeller Center, the Marx Brothers home, and the Trinity Chapel.
Also really enjoyed seeing some of the best portraits and sculptures of Ben Franklin.
Went to the Natural History Museum and learned about Theodore Roosevelt, my new favorite president! Visited his childhood home. Also so the Rose Space exhibit, a new show on IMAX on Monarch Butterflies and a butterfly conservatory. Loved the dinosaurs!
I had a historical theme to my trip and visited many of the squares and buildings associate with the Revolutionary War and George Washington in particular.
Also liked the film and entertainment side of NYC and went to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and to the Film Biz Recycling center for props.

The flowers were amazing! The main reason I went to NYC for this particular trip was to see Todd Rundgren who played an amazing show! Enjoyed meeting him and had a nice chat after the show. Really an amazing trip. Sure am glad to be HOME!

Worked on a new podcast this morning.

Woot!

It’s a great one called “Dog Man!”

Packed up for my trip to NYC on Thursday morning.

Picked up bills from the office.

Helped the kids with their homework this afternoon.

This book was at the mission. Recognize it?

Went to Walmart to pick up a new pump for the basket and soccer balls. Also saw this. Really? Engineered?

Admin duties now. Watched a lot of Duck Dynasty with K! Always fun!

Did you say the Cat in the Hat?

Had a fun time with Joy Breedlove and her friend Sharon from Blackshear Place BC in Gainesville!

Joy is interested in working with Somali ladies working in Clarkston. We had a good lunch at Madina, then I took them over to meet some Somali women who run dress stores.

We had an interesting visit with the ladies, all of whom were delighted to help my friend Joy get to know more about Somalia, their culture and language!

Came home for about 30 minutes to study and pick up Jesse. Then off to Azalea to help the kids with their homework.

The 5th graders are doing a geometry project.

They design a town with roads that are parallel, perpendicular and intersect at oblique angles. They seem to be making progress!


Stopped at Kroger to pick up some groceries.

Home now to work on admin duties. Kathy and Ashley got home safely from their conference in Alabama. GREAT to have them back!
