This morning I recorded a new podcast! One of my favorite things!

Here’s my mobile studio location.

This is a new favorite. How do you conquer fear? By using your body and jumping on a “Roller Coaster!” Just click on the title and GROOVE!

After recording, I went over to the UPS to take my old set top box for my cable TV.

Spent time looking for hand sanitizer that doesn’t smell gross.

When I’m working outside with the teams, my hat band gets saturated with sweat. Every day I apply that sanitizer to the band to keep bacteria from growing there. IE it doesn’t stink.

Came home to talk with one of my partners about the mission and the finances to support it. I think Hakeem understood what was going on with his mother and will be able to help her now.

Had a late lunch with K.

Spent some time reading and working on admin duties. Getting ready for the block party this weekend.

K and I had a fun day at Six Flags! I thought this would be a good time with not too many people. I was right! I also got a Flash Pass, even better!

We had a fun time. I rode one the World’s largest, “Goliath” and one of the fastest “Dare Devil Dive Bomber.”
Straight up and slightly inside straight down.


Cool builds.

We liked the Bumper Cars. 285 prepared us well for that!

Our favorite ride was the Mist Machine.

Another of our favorite rides.

Good times.

I loved all the beautiful plants.

My car said it was hot. Didn’t feel nearly this hot to me.

I got home and installed the new set top box for my cable TV.

Kathy and I just got back from our TK weekend. GREAT to spend time with her.

We stayed in Clayton.

Ventured out from there to Dillard, Black Rock Mountain and Tallullah Falls.

Fantastic beauty. We had forgotten just how awesome being up in the mountains is.

Does the carving go in or jut out?

Hiked across the divide. Cusco, Peru is 10,700 ft!



We got home early afternoon so Kathy could go to work.

Spent time with Jesse. We had lunch than went to pick up Tshirts from Pure Fun.

Enjoyed time at the Barnes and Noble before heading back to the house.

Watched Wild with K. Just an ok movie.

Admin duties now.

Beauty!

I can’t figure out what is causing the tree’s bark to split like this.


I thought this was interesting. “Twister” or “Wind” clan.

Hmmm.

This morning I spent time working the phones.

Long talk with Eduardo Zamora who is heading to Orlando with his family. There are chairs and tables left at the mission that may need to be moved. I’ll set up a time to go by there next week.

Also long conversation with Marjorie Otiti as regards her ongoing ministry at the Terraces. Lots of details to hammer out as far as funding and her budget goes. I think we have everything squared away.

Sent in her form this morning to NAMB. She gave me some missing information I needed.

Also left a message/email to Jeff Reams at Dunwoody Baptist Church about this transition.

Recorded a new podcast! Do you have things that irritate you? Then try looking at them with “Heart Eyes!” Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Dropped off the financial report to our treasurer’s house. Great job, ASHLEY!

I have a pastor I’m working with who is trying to start new work in the Duluth area. I need to find out exactly where their targeted area is so I can go to talk to managers next week.

I went to Stone Mountain for a while. I wanted to hike on the rock, but the blasts of heat coming off the stone turned me around.


Color change to come.

I like lichens.

Can you see the Pileated Woodpecker?

Went to T&G to pay for the oil change in my car and in Kathy’s car. We are both due brakes in the next few thousand miles.

Enjoying reading and resting.

Admin duties now.

One of the little cacti I bought is getting ready to bloom. Always exciting.

I also bought a hygrometer! Checks level of moisture in the soil. Really important not to over water succulents. It’s hard to tell when every plant is a different size and in different sized container.

Wednesday and Thursday, I’ve been enjoying resting and reading books about Peru.

Wednesday, I got the oil in Lil’ Red changed.

I got this cut out Jesus for our production with the kids coming to work with us.

I think He’s pretty cool.

Got up around 6:30am this morning. Picked up Ashley to take her to the airport. I was glad that K came with us.

Ashley is in Texas now visiting with supporters and of course our family. The last part of her trip she’s flying to Kansas to see one of her good friends.

Enjoyed visiting with Jesse Thursday night.

Beauty!

Ashley is a marvelous painter.

My world.

Monday evening we enjoyed Jesse’s company!

Ashley and I had fun briefing our LAST team of the Summer! WOW! What a great time we’ve had!


Teaching them the Maasai jump!

We took them on a Cultural Safari to the Buford Highway Farmers Market.

Ate lunch at Plaza Fiesta!

Dessert at Hong Kong Bakery.

To FBC Doraville to put the labels and stamps on the newsletter and get them ready to mail.

Took them to Azalea to get started.

Over to the Post Office to mail the newsletters.

Super hot today. We went to Walmart to get water for the kids. Dekalb County had a broken water main, so the water wasn’t safe to drink. Yow!

Worked with the kids at the mission. Handed out the back packs. Worked out pretty well!

Home now to work on admin duties.

Filled up with gas this morning. The QT by my house is $2.44. That’s over .20 cheaper than in Chamblee. Amazing.

Went into town to check on the mail at the office.

Picked up the newsletters.

Went to Walmart to get envelopes.

Post Office for stamps.

Printed out the labels.

I bought a Jasmine plant that I have been admiring at CD Tower for over a month. She’ll make a fine addition to my collection.

Went to Walmart for a second time today to get lights for the plants.

Built a mosquito trap with a 2 liter bottle, cup of water, 1/4 cup of brown sugar and a 1/4 teaspoon of yeast. It’s supposed to create CO2, which attracts mosquitoes. Then they can’t find their way out. Woot! We’ll see if it works.

Admin duties now.

I liked this picture at an antique store I checked out.

Saturday night, I rewired all my electrical devices through a new UPS.

The old one worked as a surge protector, but the battery was dead so there was no real UPS.

Bahd luck.

This morning I went to Westside Baptist Church.

The HOPE team gave testimonies.

They just came back from a very successful evangelism tour in New Jersey, Philadelphia and Virginia.

Ate lunch with K. Always good at Always Fresh.

Wrote the newsletter.

Updated social media.

Admin duties now.

Yeah, baby!

Saturday morning, K and I went to David and Debi Doverspike’s house.

We had a shower for the Jason Sullivan and his wife Ann.

Great time with family!





Pregnant women.

David is our lawyer. He’s been helping us update our will.

Came home to rest and work on admin duties.

Huh?

Friday, I finished editing the video I shot this week with Autreville BC.

Also burned a DVD and uploaded the video to YouTube.

Recorded a new podcast! Woot!

You are A+! A fun recording and great for you! Just click on the title and GROOVE!

Did the family shopping.

Can you see the new cacti I got? GREAT!

Ashley came by to check on us after she went to her doctor visit. Baby is doing well!

Met up with Jesse for a quick lunch before going to see Antman.

I really liked it! Great fun!

Ate supper with J and K!

Watched Elementary with K.

Admin duties.

We saw a Red Shouldered Hawk on the way home near our house. Awesome!

Yeah!

Hmmmmm.
