This morning I worked on an application for grant money for one of the kids at the mission. I had to write an essay about why he should receive the scholarship.

Hope the support him!

I finally got the Glif in the mail. It’s a holder for an iPhone.


It can be used as a stand.


As well as a way to connect the iPhone to a tripod.

That’s great when using the iPhone for a video recording.

Looked at a bottom drawer in my desk today. I wonder when the last time I did that was? Floppys and 35mm film. Wow.

Cold day outside. Kind of rainy. I enjoyed eating lunch with Kathy.

Restful afternoon as we hunkered down to avoid the big ice storm. Really nothing to speak of.

Had fun watching many episodes of the Middle with K.

Been reading books that I got on Amazon, including a book on memory, another on snowflakes, clouds, building props, Steampunk and what I’m currently looking at 101 Geo locations in the USA. FUN!

Admin duties now.

Monday I edited and produced the video of the team from Argentina and One Heart Church.

To consider a Team complete, I edit the video I’ve shot, upload it to YouTube, burn a DVD, and send an email to the leader sharing the links of all the photo galleries and the video on YouTube. I then write a short note and mail the dvd to the leader of the team.

Our goal at Whirlwind Missions is to provide the best missions experience EVER. Customer service is one big thing that sets our ministry apart.

Posted some creative writing onto my Twitter feed.

I finally completed the Annual Registration for Whirlwind Missions. Their “upgraded” website leaves something to be desired.

Enjoyed lunch at Kathmandu Grill with Ashley and Miles. They worked all weekend in Columbia, S. Carolina. There was a mission conference that Ashley attended. She did great. What else is new?

Worked at the mission with the kids.

I’ve been studying a book on Memory by Harry Lorayne. Absolutely fascinating. A central point of the book is that the brain remembers best in pictures. Just figuring out a crazy picture to illustrate that forces your brain to have “original awareness” which is the first step to really remembering something.

So when I’m helping the kids, I’m always trying to think of ways to have the visualize what I’m teaching them.

Enjoyed supper with Jesse. Then went to Walmart to pick up some supplies. Supposed to have a big storm on Tuesday. The place was PACKED and whole aisles of stuff missing. Pretty crazy.

Finally got home around 10pm.
