This morning I enjoyed listening to Jeff Lyle at Meadow Baptist Church. He’s got an energetic preaching style that I like. He preached on Change and used the choosing of David as the new king as his text.

Did some creative writing. My version of proverbs on steroids.

Ate lunch with Jesse and Kathy. Always good!

Went to see Interstellar this afternoon/evening. I say that because it was almost 3 hours long. Yow.

It was just ok. Just kind of fell apart at the end for me.

Admin duties now. Kathy has been out on her bike.

Beautiful colors.

One of my favorite things to do: RECORD!

I had fun with this new episode of Verbal Surgery!

When you’re having trouble sleeping, check out Verbal Surgery -296- “Mind Shaft!” Just don’t listen to it while driving! Click on the title and groove!

Kathy and Ashley are together this morning at a party for my niece Katie. She’s having a baby!

K brought home sandwiches from Honey Baked Ham. Wow. They were really good.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Baylor vs Oklahoma game today. My Bears put it to them in Norman, no less! 48-14. Wow.

We also watched Grey’s Anatomy together.

Then ran 5.07 miles. A beautiful time of the early evening.

I can’t believe someone would actually just dump this stuff on the side of the road. What?!

This time of year our subdivision really lives up to her name.

The wind rolls these clumps of pine straw.

Perhaps you may remember how two days ago the mailbox was knocked over. This is the replacement.

Came home. Vacuumed the house.

Cleaned up.

Admin duties now.

Magnificent end of the day!

Friday, Kathy and I enjoyed a nice lunch together. Always good!

I came home, rested briefly, then worked on the yard.

Cleaned up all the leaves from the side of our yard. Hard work!

We had fun watching White Collar and Elementary!

Admin duties now.
I thought these tiny mushrooms were beautiful.

Recorded a new podcast this morning!

One of my favorite things to do: talk! This is a great episode on how to change quickly. Try out “Morph!”

Just click on the title and groove!

Cleaned the fish tank.

I repaired one of my bird feeders.

Kathy cleaned my room. I organized and put back all my stuff.

Met up with Kathy, Jesse and Ashley for lunch at Kathmandu Grill in Clarkston. Delicious and great company.

We called my Dad while we were there. It’s his 84th birthday today. Jesse is 24, Kathy is 54 and Dad is 84. Exact 30 year spread between them.

I sorted through several hundred business cards I’d collected. Got about 20 people I’d like to contact.

When I got to Azalea, one of the families was bringing back the chairs and tables I’d let them borrow. Everyone got in on the act.

Worked with the kids at the mission.

We are trying to get the kids to wash their hands.

They love art projects.

Cleaned the mission before I came home.

Admin duties now.

Beautiful trees in the area.

I enjoyed a 5.08 mile run this morning. I haven’t run in a while since the weather has been so cold. Long way. Beauty.

I thought this was weird.

Hit and run I reckon.

Came home to rest. Then off to the mission to work with the kids!

Boys with the megaladon tooth.

Watched Wild, Wild West with K this evening.

Admin duties now.

I dropped by our treasurer’s house to leave the financial report that Ashley creates.

I have an old laptop I’m giving to a friend of mine in the UK. It appears I can’t mail it to him because it has lithium batteries. The duty on it would have been expensive as well. Looks like I’ll take it over there in my bag on my next trip. The US Post and UPS told me the same thing.

Ashley and I had fun showing our new friends from Southern Crescent Baptist Church in McDonough around the International Village!

Pastor Don Pickerill and their youth director House Houseworth and his wife Amy experienced a safari, Whirlwind Missions style!

Always something fun to see and experience!

Ashley and I had a few minutes before the school buses arrived, so we checked out an antique store in our area. Bizarre things.

Then to the missions to work with the kids.

Still not used to the early sunset.

Enjoyed watching Wild, Wild West with Kathy this evening.

Admin duties now.

Did the shopping for the family this morning.

Had a fun lunch with Kathy and Jesse.

Planet Fitness is getting ready to open. Looks like outdoor treadmills!

Jesse and I came home to work on an old laptop computer that we’re getting ready for a friend of mine. Glad we have Jesse! He hates working with Windows computers.

Enjoyed working at the mission with the kids.

Early sunset. Hate it.

Terrible traffic on the way home. I should have checked my phone.

Admin duties now.

Earlier every year.

Kathy and I enjoyed seeing our friends at One Heart Church today!

It was great to hear testimony of the salvations from yesterday! They have a Fall Festival next weekend.

K and I ate at Al Madina in Tucker. I got to see my buddies Ali and Abdul there.

Came home to rest. I’ve enjoyed playing Tomb Raider again. Great game.

Watched several episodes of the Mentalist with Kathy this evening. Groovy.

Ashley and I had fun briefing our team from One Heart Church today!

After our prayer time, we went on safari to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Back to the church for a quick lunch. Then to the missions!

It was a cold day. Glad it was dry! Wind chill was below freezing. But we still had a good attendance!

Home to be with Kathy. We watched the movie “Beyond Borders” with Angelina Jolie. Pretty good movie, but sad.

Admin duties now.

I’m uploading pictures. Will work on the video I shot of One Heart Church.

I enjoyed spending the whole day with Ashley!

We met with Amanda Miller at FBC Doraville. We took her to experience some Middle Eastern culture at Al Madina. She’s interested in working with the immigrant population here.

We also showed her around the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Amanda left to go to work and Phil and Sabrina Owens pulled into the parking lot. It was great having them around.

We talked about missions and then went out and checked on some possible apartment housing. Every place we went to was completely full. As I was writing this, I stopped and asked a manager friend of mine if he had any apartments open.

Came back to Azalea to work with the kids.


We had a great candy throw.

And Ashley organized a big obstacle course for the kids. They thought they’d gone to heaven.

Had supper with Jesse.

Then home. Brought in all my plants. I feel like I’m living in a jungle now.
