New Verbal Surgery! Yeah, baby! I like this episode called, “iMotion!” How do you get yourself into action? Click on the title and find out!

I spent hours working in my yard today.

Picked up a ton of sticks.

Mowed my front and back yard. That’s 1/2 acre!


I tracked the mowing on RunKeeper. I pushed that mower 1.58 miles.



I found my lost camera! It had been outside about a year under leaves. I mowed over it.

The battery still works! SD card and camera, not so much. I still have it in my camera graveyard where I keep all the cameras that I’ve worn out.

Blew the driveway and street clean of debris.

Then added fertilizer to my new magnolia and gardenia plants.

Ate a quick lunch on the way to the mission.

Then worked with the kids. Hardly any homework. School is basically out.

On the way home I saw this.

Three other NoZe Brothers and I drove to Waco from Dallas in one of these. Good times.

Enjoyed watching SuperNanny with K.

We also started watching Lone Survivor.

Admin duties now.

We have a team in town tomorrow morning and Saturday.

I ran 6.18 miles this morning.

Gorgeous weather. Always something beautiful to see.

Lots of signs for graduation.

I ran farther than I normally do because I wanted to take a close up look at the land the developers want to build houses on.

Ashley met up with K for lunch. Missed that, I was still running.

Came home, showered, cooled off.

Ate a sandwich.

Produced the USB drives for the Verbal Surgery project.

Decided not to go to the mission today. Tired.

Filled in the grant proposal for Dunwoody Baptist Church.

Watched Castle with K.

Admin duties now.

I think this was cool seeing that Mother’s Day is Sunday.

I liked this section of Wired.

This morning I worked on gifts for the families that I’m going to visit next week. Picked up wrapping paper and stickers.

Did some shopping at Walmart. I liked these flowers.

Then met up with Ashley at FBC Doraville. I brought her a tiny baby, just a little older than HER baby. This is 14 weeks. Ashley is 11 now.

We rode up to Marietta to see our partner David Tate. They moved to our area about nine months ago.

They’ve had a hard time here. The renters of their house back in S. Carolina left, so now they’re paying two house payments. Looks like they’ll be moving back to Spartanburg, SC. Sad to see that.

After our meeting with David, Ash and I did a quick recon of the square in Marietta. There are a couple of stores there I find really interesting. Ashley got some great ice cream.

We went back to the church to pick up Ashley’s car.

I went to the Gwinnett County Planning Commission meeting this evening. I was the representative from our subdivision against the rezoning of land near our neighborhood.

I hope that this development will not become a reality. It’s nearly 120 houses!

I spoke with the lawyer of the developers and other neighborhood leaders against the rezoning. Here’s our representative.

Came home to work on wrapping gifts for the Jacquins.

Listened to TV.

Here’s the finished Best of Verbal Surgery 2015 project.

The USB key has 20 of my favorite episodes of Verbal Surgery, 10 videos from Story Tim and a 450 page book of wit from my Twitter feed: @timacummins.

Admin duties now.

This sounded weird to me.

Can you imagine putting up a dish like THIS in the back yard?

There was an actual piece of the Berlin Wall on display at the Commission building. I couldn’t believe the urge I had to get a small piece of it.

I did not give into that urge, however.

I had a fun weekend.

Worked in the garden on Saturday. Cleaned the porch.

Cleaned and refilled hummingbird feeders.

The knob broke on our washing machine. Went to Lowes to try and find another one.

Washer did the water too high. Mess to clean up. Sure am glad I have a Wet/Dry vacuum.

Had lunch with Jesse and Kathy.


Then went to see Age of Ultron. I thought it was pretty good.

The 3D was cool.

Sunday I represented Whirlwind Missions at the First Baptist Atlanta local missions fair.

Always good to see friends.

It’s a big place.

Had a restful afternoon. Then worked on the Verbal Surgery project in preparation for the conference I’m going to next weekend in the UK.

It contains 20 of my favorite episodes of Verbal Surgery, 10 videos of Story Tim and a 450 page book containing my wit and wisdom from my Twitter feed. Fun!

I’m still adding things to finished product.

Monday morning I met up with Ashley at First Baptist Church Doraville.

We had a pre-site visit with our new friends from Liberty Baptist Church in Virginia.

We took them on a Whirlwind Tour to the Buford Highway Farmers Market and Plaza Fiesta.

They’ll be bringing a team of 115 choir members to our are in June. They’ll serve for one day. It’ll be a good one!

A and I went to Messinas for Greek food. We were hungry for Indian, we forgot they were closed on Monday. Bummer.

We loved the cheesecake.

Dropped by Goodwill. Ash found a few cute things.

Then to the appliance store where I asked if they had a knob to replace the one I got from them. They had one! I couldn’t believe I couldn’t find a simple replacement knob on Amazon!

Went to the bank to deposit money. Then to the Post Office to put a gift in the mail.

Went back to Plaza Fiesta to check on supplies. I found another lucky dirty money sheep for Ashley! Mooglie ate the last one. Sad.

Checked on the kids at the mission. Hardly any homework.

We cleaned up.

Went to Walmart to do grocery shopping. Met up with Jesse there.

The replacement knob I got for the washing machine worked great.

I liked these babies on display.

I found this turkey nibbling on the head of a mannequin disturbing.

Had a restful morning.

Then went for a 4.98 mile run. Gorgeous!

There was a lady with her dogs in the road. I was concentrating on how I was going to run around this hazard, when I caught my toe on a bump in the road. Took a tumble. I rolled with it. Still took some road rash.

It’s a tradition in Georgia to put signs up in the neighborhoods for the graduates.

Dropped off the Financial Report to our treasurer.

Ate a late lunch. Wasn’t hungry after running.

Kathy worked all day today at the day care.

Jesse just came over. We enjoyed going to El Torero with him.

Admin duties now.

Sore from my fight with the road.

Beauty.

Ashley and I met up with our new friend Joan to help us understand how to do the Quickbooks for our ministry.

It was a challenging couple of hours. I praise God that Ashley is doing this!

We had a fun lunch at El Torrero.

Then back to the office to sign and get the newsletters ready for the Post Office.

Posted the letters!

Back home to rest. No mission today. No homework.

Played some games. Always fun.

Watched SuperNanny with K.

Admin duties now.

Rainy morning. I enjoyed resting. Went to QT to get me a cup of coffee.

Ate lunch with Kathy at my new favorite Jamaican place, Pipin’ Hot.

Perfect for blowing bubbles. I entertained K for a while.

The little bubbles don’t pop when the ground is wet.

Went for a 5.02 mile run. Always beautiful.

I’m not sure why people would want to run 70 miles, much less 26.

Ashley covered the mission this afternoon. Only one kid showed up. Today is their last day of testing.

Watched SuperNanny with K. My DVR was messed up. Had to restart the system. Finally got it working.

Admin duties now.

This morning I recorded the four prayer sessions in my new book Power Prayer.

I always enjoy recording. Today was extra special for me.

Kathy and I enjoyed lunch with Ashley and Jesse.

Had fun talking with Jesse this afternoon. Always good to pick his brain for ideas on distribution electronically of my book.

Played some Far Cry 4. Cool game.

Kathy just got home from work.

Admin duties now.

This morning I wrote and produced my newsletter.

Also printed out the labels.

On the way to the office, I dropped off the luggage at the UPS store to send it back to Amazon.

FREE! I love Amazon Prime.

I also dropped off some old clothes to the Goodwill.

Met up with Ashley and Julie Cook for lunch. She’s one of our favorite partners from FBC Jonesboro.

We talked about logistics for her team coming in June.

Enjoyed visiting the Buford Highway Farmers Market We met a lady for Israel!

We treated Julie to a strawberry crepe. Fantastique!

Everything sounds great.

After Julie left, we went to the bank and deposited money.

Then to the mission to help the kids with their homework. They didn’t have much today.

They also helped us with the labels for the newsletter.

I bought doughnuts for everyone.

Ate supper and went to Walmart with Jesse. Always good.

Watched Super Nanny, Parks and Recreation and Kardashians with K this evening.

Admin duties now.

Kathy and I enjoyed going to Peachtree Corners Baptist Church this morning.

I spoke at David Henderson’s Sunday School Class. We’ll have an outreach event on May 30th. I reckon that will officially start the Summer!




Came home to rest.

Then went for a 4.99 mile run.

Beautiful!












Enjoyed watching Supernanny with K. We also watched They Came Together. Pretty weak movie.

Admin duties now.

What?

I reckon.
